That's damn fine work, doing Bethesda's work for us! I wonder if any of this work can be re-used for Oblivion, Fallouts and maybe even Skyrim? All in good time maybe =D Either way, I miss how the Dark Elves had gravelly voices. Sad how they sound like humans now.
If I buy Morrowind, will I be able to complete it by using OpenMW?
From what I can tell, not as of yet, I've not seen a way out of the sandboxed environment used to test it.
However Morrowind+ expansions play quite well in wine even with my crappy old gear of an Athlon46 3500+ 8800GTS (G80 core) 320Mb and a measly 2Gb of ram.
So do as I did, and grab a torrent, there are plenty of them out there with 100+ peers.
As someone who has poked around inside the Oblivion engine I can say that it will be a MAJOR task to clone, even with OpenMW as a base.
