Morrowind will not tell you where to go. It will give you a journal entry with written directions and expect you to follow them on foot across an alien landscape you have never seen before. That design is confrontational by modern standards. I respect it enormously. The hardware requirements are almost laughably low. I ran it on a machine that struggled with browser tabs and it held 60 fps without complaint. The world is genuinely unlike anything else in the genre: alien mushroom forests, volcanic ashlands, a culture that feels built rather than assembled from fantasy tropes. If you bounced off it before, try it with the OpenMW engine rebuild.
