I wasn't aware the MW source code was ever released?
It wasn't, this is a complete engine rebuild from scratch...
will it support the MW mods?
It already does.
All I say Ha Ha to the Implemented Melee Combat voice over. :D
Are you planning on releasing a greek version? There are too many Morrowind greek fans :D
I could gather a group to help with the translation
We don't have any greek translators yet, so be more than welcome. Just head over to our forums, introduce yourself, and you can translate all you want!
Death of Fargoth - I saw it thousands times, I did it million times... but it still makes me happy :D
Spears! Spears! Spears!
