why would anyone possibly need this ?
Basically they've rebuilt the engine from scratch so it's up to modern standards, plus adding native compatibility with another operative systems, like Linux.
I suppose that will be more scriptable, hence more mod friendly and unaffected with certain bugs of the original game that remained unfixed.
And also, it's free, will have cooler shaders, and OpenGL renderer versus the DirectX/3D one from vanilla.
That's enough reason for starters :)

So people can just use MGE instead?
Are they fixing bugs of the original game in this re-implementation?
Do you care about GNU/Linux users?
We are mainly GNU/Linux users :)
Also, morrowind, oblivion, AND skyrim were all built on the same engine. So once you know how to meld all those parts and make them compatible with a different engine like shaders, textures, scripting etc. It will be FAR easier to create an open version of that. So making openoblivion and openskyrim will far easier. Meaning linux and mac guys will get some fun for once :P and in the future when this is made it will also better the looks of the game.
I'm quite sure that skyrim uses a different engine than the other two.
It is my understanding that Skyrim uses the Creation engine, made by bethesda, and that Morrowind and Oblivion use gamebryo, of which bethesda did not make(I dont know who did).
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim uses the Creation Engine which is actually the Gamebryo Engine Bethesda just re wrote re scripted the whole entire engine the graphics were all re written but the Gamebryo Source Codes are there still just re written.
i love the dynamic shadows in skyrim but it is too simple comparing to morrowind :(
And even if they didn't, game files mostly still use same format..
Also don't forget Fallout 3 and New Vegas used Gamebyro :)
Yay, I love Morrowind.
Cool and all but how are you not going to get a cease and desist from Bethesda?
Because they've rebuilt it from scratch using clean room reverse engineering.
And that's legal, at least in Europe and USA.
Assets and original content is not distributed.
So you need the game, anyways.
Do you guys also aim to add 2 or 4 player Coop perhaps?
That would definetly make things more interesting. :)
That would make this soooo bad ***!
I would seriously give them money if they did it :D
I just realized of the modding possibilities for this project... I'm super pumped for this now!!
