OpenMW Authors

An epic, open-ended single-player RPG, Morrowind allows you to create and play any kind of character imaginable. You can choose to follow the main storyline and find the source of the evil blight that plagues the land, or set off on your own to explore strange locations and develop your character based on their actions throughout the game. Featuring stunning 3D graphics, open-ended gameplay, and an incredible level of detail and interactivity, Morrowind offers a gameplay experience like no other.

OpenMW requires TES3: Morrowind, so you need to purchase and install that first. If you have the CDs, you can install the game the old-fashioned way, or get the Steam or GOG versions if you need a new copy. It's a good idea to run the game once to ensure Morrowind is installed properly. Take note of the directory you installed Morrowind to. You will need this soon. On Steam, you can Right-Click the game in your library and select Manage and Browse local files in order to quickly locate this folder.

Once you say hello to Jiub and you've taken note of the folder you installed Morrowind to you're ready to move onto the next step.
