OpenMW v0.25.0 release, a morrowind open source client

By Guest -
The OpenMW team is proud to announce the release of version 0.25.0! Grab it from our Downloads Page for all operating systems. With the implementation of SoundGen records and the Wander AI Package, this release introduces stomping NPCs. Note that AI Wander must still be called from the console. SoundGen implementation also means that Creatures make noises. Prepare for squealing scrib nostalgia. SDL2 has also been implemented, which stomps out a lot of mouse focus and other UI bugs. Check over the changelog for the rest of the changes in this release.

Known Issues:
  • Extreme shaking may occur during cell transitions for some users (enable anti-aliasing as a possible workaround)
  • Polish version of Morrowind.esm makes OpenMW crash
  • Pressing 'j' key during startup freezes the game

I actually have a copy of Morrowind, was curious if using this, if the actual Game was completely playable or would you guys say they had more work to do first?.

You can "play" it if you use console commands to kill stuff since currently no combat or skills have been implemented.
v0.26 will finally get melee combat, and subsequent releases will include ranged and magic.

Can check out the roadmap to see.
