![]() ![]() We chose (or were forced into?) an accelerated start that put us in Balmora, skipping the introductory scene. I tried it out with a friend, and clocked in at least a dozen hours. Think of it as Morrowind with fully functional co-op. TES3MP adds multiplayer functionality to OpenMW. You need the original game, because it uses the data files from it. It runs great on modern computers and modern operating system. OpenMW is a rewrite of the Morrowind engine. (I am not talking about the Morrowind expansion to ESO.) In case you don’t know, Morrowind was the game two sequels before Skyrim in the Elder Scroll series. My co-op partner uses magic to water-walk past the city of Vivec, avoiding all the slaughterfish. “This just might work,” I thought to myself. It made clear was running on its own engine. Not too long ago I heard of a co-op Morrowind mod. Whether you love it or hate it (and I’m somewhere in the middle) you’re bound to agree it’s not really the co-op experience we want. There may come a time when a playable co-op Skyrim exists but I’m confident it won’t be using that strategy. They’ve got their work cut out for them, I’ll say that much. The attempts I’ve seen have no access to the game engine and work through mods, trying to wrangle a lookalike NPC into doing whatever your friend is doing. ![]() You’re not so much playing with a friend as you are playing with a confused doppelganger that has a tendency to run into corners and get stuck.Īnd that’s hardly surprising. The mods that I’ve tried for co-op Skyrim are horrible, janky affairs. “Wouldn’t Skyrim be fantastic if it was co-op?” said every gamer ever. ![]()
