The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind is 20 years old, and to celebrate, the multiplayer Morrowind tool TES3MP has been updated to merge it with OpenMW VR (as you can see in action minus the multiplayer above), which means that yes, now you can play Morrowind with your friends in VR. Even if you do not have a VR headset yourself, you can join players who have it on the same server.
While playing in VR, this means that you can see the position of your hands – which are adapted to suit your species, if, for example, you would rather have fuzzy khajiit hands – other players will not be able to. No waving hello or giving anyone the finger, unfortunately.
The open-source Morrowind engine OpenMW had its first public release in 2008, replacing Morrowind’s Gamebryo engine with something more robust and changeable that modders and tweakers would be able to build on. The OpenMW fork TES3MP is the perfect example of what has made multiplayer Morrowind playable since 2017. Another fork resulted in OpenMW VR a few years ago, and now the two have been combined from TES3MP version 0.8.1.
To play Morrowind multiplayer in VR, of course, you have to have the original game – while OpenMW replaces the engine, it still uses the original assets – and then follow this quick start guide to TES3MP. You will want to download TES3MP VR 0.8.1 for playing in VR, or TES3MP 0.8.1 for the non-VR version, which the host hosting will also need.
