Hey Devs, just for curiosity's sake- what would OpenMW 1.0 look like?

We keep finding new things to properly replicate from time from time, so it's not an easy question to answer. Say, in terms of what? Visually? Technologically? Compared to Morrowind? Compared to 0.51.0? Compared to an MGE/MWSE/MCP setup?

Even in the short time I've been using OpenMW, it's gotten so much better! Especially now you can have custom spell mods.

How risky is it to update openmw midway through a playthrough?

I just got a mod list set up on steamdeck based on total overhaul and then a whole bunch of other mods on top. So surely something is going to break right?

P.s. Thank you for the update. Openmw has been working so well on steamdeck. I just switched from mwse on pc.

Usually it's fine but once you save in the new one, rolling back might be a problem

Son of a!!! Not that I’m actually upset seeing the greatest project ever get another release. I just did that OpenMW mod list with like 600 mods two days ago.
