But I confess it&#8217;s the gamepad stuff that has me going out of my gourd for this one.<\/p>\n<p>My confession is that my first exposure to Morrowind was actually via its semi-miraculous Xbox version, which even had to <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x0TKwPnHc-M\" target=\"_blank\">quietly reboot the console<\/a> during some load screens. My young jaunts about Balmora and Vivec came with my hands on a controller, not at a keyboard and mouse, and I still kind of like that way of exploring a Bethesda game. Not to mention that, frankly, I&#8217;m getting too old and tired to want to hunch over a desk to play my videogames. Anything I can play on my TV, I will.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery carousel-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1280px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:62.50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"AXDN3tt2LMVB2mtUmyUFaT\" name=\"OpenMW 2\" alt=\"Conversation in OpenMW with gamepad.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/23-years-later-morrowind-on-controller-and-steam-deck-just-got-a-million-times-better-the-latest-version-of-openmw-is-out-now.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Bethesda \/ OpenMW Team)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1280px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:62.50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"A6Aop8Wa4wU62jvQPPW8aT\" name=\"OpenMW 1\" alt=\"Inventory in OpenMW with gamepad.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/23-years-later-morrowind-on-controller-and-steam-deck-just-got-a-million-times-better-the-latest-version-of-openmw-is-out-now-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Bethesda \/ OpenMW Team)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 3 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1280px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:62.50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"ngMT7NfYhc5b2wFLRbayZT\" name=\"OpenMW 3\" alt=\"Trading in OpenMW with gamepad.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/23-years-later-morrowind-on-controller-and-steam-deck-just-got-a-million-times-better-the-latest-version-of-openmw-is-out-now-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"800\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Bethesda \/ OpenMW Team)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>TV or, indeed, my Steam Deck.
