This is a great project, and I'm glad to see it progressing like this. I hope to one day actually give Morrowind a shot. And since it's open-source, maybe other similar games could be made with it?

OpenMW is definitely in my top 10 open source projects and these update videos are always interesting to watch. I might actually grab a copy of Morrowind at some point and have some fun with OpenMW.

In one of the early dev vids they mentioned Oblivion.

I meant open-source games, but I'd take Oblivion too. ;)

Certainly, we've always linked the engine with Morrowind because it's based on the vanilla one running OpenMW, but actually we're also developing a new editor (which will be covered in the future) with which one can easily start composing their own game. And since the code is open-sourced anyone can start to tinker with it to implement features like ragdoll physics etc. It must be said though that we will probably not work on these grand features ourselves since our focus will be in making the engine/editor more accessible and functional.
