About OpenMW
**OpenMW** is a free, open source and modern engine based which reimplements and extends the one that runs the 2002 open-world RPG Morrowind. The engine comes with its own editor , called **OpenMW-CS** which allows the user to edit or create their own original games. Both OpenMW-CS and OpenMW are written from scratch and aren’t made to support any third party programs the original Morrowind engine uses to improve its functionality.
**NOTE:** Playing Morrowind with this engine still requires the Morrowind data files from a copy that you own.
