You can now play the entirety of Morrowind in your browser, because why not
The entirety of Morrowind can now be played in a browser using OpenMW-Web, which runs the real Morrowind engine and supports features like shadows, water, saves, and gamepads. This project was created by a user who wanted to see if it could be done, and it does not require any installation or extensions to play. The game works best in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Brave, and users can try a free example world or point it to their local Morrowind files for the full game.
