I agree with you, but I think we all know Bethesda’s best game is Fallout 3 Morrowind, and if you know these games, it’s really obvious in the picture. Even without the picture, we know what the gaming press believes is Bethesda’s best game. It’s either Skyrim (based on sales numbers) or Morrowind (based on wide opinion). However, Skyrim shipped with controller support; therefore, it can safely be ruled out. So did Fallout 3, for that matter.

I didn’t much care for Morrowind when it was new, but I respect the hell out of some of the decisions it made, especially after seeing those decisions reversed and spat upon by later TES games. Like how you have to cast all of like two spells to become Archmage in Skyrim. Whereas in Morrowind, if you did not have certain skills, you could not advance in guilds. You could JOIN all of them. But you needed to actually train in those areas to advance. New players would typically go Legion (army) and Fighter’s Guild because that’s easy and relatively straightforward; building out a pure mage build takes more work (and makes you way more squishy).

I’m happy to see OpenMW is on Mac and Linux as well as Windows. I have Macs, and I also have an Xbox Series X. I own Morrowind on GOG, I might own it on Steam, I’m not sure… and I’m pretty sure I own as many Bethesda games on Xbox as are available (except Starfield, played that trash on GamePass but never bought it… I did play that trash though).
