Last month, we installed OpenMW and transferred over the game’s assets from a Windows 10 machine to our Linux setup in order to play Morrowind. This month, we’ll complete the setup and actually start exploring the sleepy little seaside town of Seyda Neen.
Graphics Setup
click the App Drawer (9 white boxes in a grid, bottom left of your screen).
Type OpenMW at the top of the screen in the search box:
Click OpenMW Launcher and the application will launch (shown bottom left)
Click ‘Graphics’ at the top (shown bottom right).
Choose whatever resolution works for you, and decide if you want to run the application in a window or full screen.
Starting the Adventure in OpenMW
Click ‘Play’ at the top, then click ‘Play’ on the scroll in the middle of the screen. Enjoy the concept art on the loading screens.
Soon, you’ll hear the stirring theme music by Jeremy Soule, and the intro screen will come up.
Click New to start a new game. Enjoy some more concept art and a brief intro sequence. A peculiar looking fellow will greet you.
Basic Movement
Use W and S to move forward and back, A and D to move side-to-side, and use your mouse to ‘aim’ yourself more precisely in a given direction. Follow the guard who will take you to the hatch while making some unnecessary comments about keeping things “civil”. Get positioned so the hatch is in the center of the screen, then hit the Spacebar to ‘Use’ the hatch. You will find yourself on deck (shown below).
To the port side, you will see a gangplank. Use your newfound mad movement skillz to negotiate it without falling into the water, and you will disembark onto a pier. A friendly guard, much more “civil” than the one who just snidely advised you to be civil, will welcome you to Seyda Neen:
Take a quick glance to your right and you will see a Silt Strider, the weird cross-town buses of Tamriel:
After choosing your race, appearance, and land of provenance, follow the friendly guard to the Customs and Excise Office:
‘Use’ the front door in the same way you just ‘used’ the hatch, and you’ll be asked about your avocation. Select the way you wish your trade to be chosen or determined. Now, select the Zodiac sign you were born under.
You will now be able to see your stats and inventory by right-clicking the screen:
The Customs Officer will advise you to take your papers, which you will first read by ‘using’ them.
Click ‘Take’ in the upper left corner, then move to the next room as instructed to complete your release. Enjoy the ambience of the office for a moment.
You will see a dagger on a table. ‘Use’ it to pick it up, then hit the ‘F’ key to equip it. Now you’re ready to start exploring Seyda Neen and the nearby environs!
There you have it! Enjoy your new adventure in Tamriel!
