Part II is really polarizing in the community, but I personally loved it more than the first. However, I found it to be far more depressing. YMMV, but it’s worth keeping in mind that you’ll want to be emotionally prepared going into it.

Morrowind was always my favorite Elder Scrolls game, but I’m probably biased since it was my first. The tech, while good for its time, was always the #1 thing holding it back for modern times. Hadn’t heard about OpenMW, but now I’ll have to check it out.
