I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.

Also the gameplay still holds up...mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I'm getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you "Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck" no markers just exploration.

The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.

Have you tried not complaining and doing what you must?

This really hits it with the over coming the shadow-self thing. There could be a really liberating message there. Like "society has certain expectations of you because of x gender identity or y career path, but that sucks and you should be true to yourself even in the face of that pressure" but instead it's more "society has a certain expectations of you and have you thought maybe you should just suck it up and accept that?"
