I’m playing for the first time in my life now.

I’ve recently had my first kid, and as such, I need a game that I can quickly pick up and put down. Ideally, the game is also playable in long form as well.

Enter openmw for android. The only on screen controls that have ever been usable. Convenient quick save. Minimal load times.

I can hop on, play a little, and get off in a hurry if I need to. I thought I’d be stuck playing old Pokemon ROMs with save states until she hit an age of independence.

        I’ve had goty for like 20 years, I still play it every other year.

        and then you just install this like a mod?

        are there pretty simple instructions to follow somewhere?

        I basically follow YouTube tutorials to install mods

          I’m not sure about instructions… This is more like an engine for running the game on your phone

          I’m here if you need help.

          In short, go here to install

          https://gitlab.com/cavebros/openmw-android-docker/-/releases

          And find the latest file ending in APK.

          You can install this from your phone by clicking it from your files app.

          Then you need to copy the game to your phone. The entire folder needs to be present. You can just point the app to the folder with the game and it’ll do what it needs to do.
