Future plans

Post by Easykill »

Sorry if this was covered elsewhere, I did look around.

After Morrowind is stable, do you intend to add support for Oblivion and Skyrim, Considering that their engines are similar?

Note: Can someone add this answer to the FAQ page? Because this is definitely a frequently asked question.

No, the OpenMW team has no plans to support any other Bethesda games as part of the OpenMW engine. It is possible that someone might use OpenMW as a base to make such an engine in the future, but the overlap of code might be quite small, and any efforts in this regard would be an entirely separate project to OpenMW.

Thank you! Again, sorry about repeating the question. I found it quite hard to format as a google request.

No, it's not your fault, it's a valid question, and should probably be in the faq :P

I don't think Skyrim needs a OpenMW, but Oblivion is horribly optimized and runs poorly on all PC's.

Supporting other games would a considerable challenge. I won't speculate but most if the openmw code would be useless for Oblivion.
