I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.

Also the gameplay still holds up...mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I'm getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you "Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck" no markers just exploration.

The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.

I've been plowing through The Talos Principle 2. It's wild to me how much they expanded on the first game. The writing is great and there was at least one Marxist on the writing team because there's a lot of discussion of material conditions and ideology and how they shape societies

Just finished it. I wonder how different it is from your choices, but I ended up appreciating the core message. The game had a lot of great ideas but I was a little overwhelmed by how much there was. I'm not sure I'll retain it all. Maybe I'll play it again in a year.

Sweet, I need to finish 1, I'll do that.
