I suggest everyone to try this game, it is awesome!

morrowind is very good yes, I'm now playing skyrim on windows steam and it is in many ways (UI, battle, interaction, general feel) inferior to morrowind, but it does have breathtaking graphics

I remember playing this so many years ago on Windows. It was an awesome experience walking to Balmora through the forest and looking for Caius Cosades by asking people for the way and knocking at doors. Travelling was long and dangerous at least for a new character.

Today: Blinky mapmarker and compass and free teleport. I somehow lost interest in most of the games. Maybe this is one reason?

Does OpenMV support VR? Personally, I don't play many non-VR games anymore.
There is a huge number of comments on Morrowind VR on the Oculus forums.

How close to playable is this engine getting? I own my original copy of the game still, but am curious to try this engine at some point.

The main quest is completeable. I've had yet to run into a single bug. On many aspects it's even better than the original engine.

Unfortunately still no shadows. Makes everything look weirdly floaty without them.
