True. As soon as they get shadows back in, I'm switching over permanently even if it's before 1.0. I've been playing a little 0.39 and it's so close I'm tempted to switch anyway. (damned shadows)
I don't agree with a few of the things they've "fixed".
If I'm understanding him correctly, they've made it so that enemies will now respawn inside of dungeons as soon as you leave the dungeon instead of after a time period. I don't understand why they would change that.
They've also made it so that a negative status effect now wears off instantly when you kill the enemy who inflicted it. That makes no sense to me.

Perhaps I misunderstood, but to me it sounded they just changed things to how they were done in the vanilla game, while OpenMW had handled this differently before?
Dungeons don't repopulate immediately in the vanilla game. I'm not quite sure about status effects, but I think each one has a fixed duration unless cured.
I think he was talking about a bug in 0.38 thats now been fixed in 0.39 so that monsters won't respawn now because they were in 0.38.

This was my understanding also. Incorrect behaviour in previous version now fixed to match vanilla MW.

He's claiming that status effects being instantly removed upon killing an enemy was standard behavior in vanilla Morrowind, but that's not the way I remember it. Even if that's the case, it doesn't make much sense.
I did misunderstand him about the respawns. He's saying that in 0.38, creatures would never respawn in dungeons if you left their corpse behind. In the vanilla game, creatures would respawn in 72 hours.
It also sounds like he's saying creatures will respawn instantly upon leaving a dungeon in 0.39 if you dispose of their corpse. I hope that's not the case though.

Quite amazing how passionate people are…
First of all we have Morrowind overhaul.
Then there is Skywind (Morrowind for Skyrim) and the development seems to be going quite well.
Ofcourse the earlier project Morroblivion (Morrowind for Oblivion) is still progressing as well.
And then we have Open Morrowind.
Imagine if all these project guys put their creative heads together and focused on one big project?

I've often dreamed of a game series that as part of each iteration it (as an option) upgrades the parts before it. So you install OB and it upgrades to MW to OB, then install Skyrim and the previous 2 also get upgraded to the same engine with updated assests, mechanics etc. I say optional because not all new iterations of a game line meet all fans desires but it'd be pretty cool to build a world like TES over the years into something bigger and bigger.
I think I read somewhere that NWN2 was going to have a NWN1 > NWN2 conversion utility bit it was cut.
I imagine it all nigh impossible thing to achieve though. Still I like to ponder such things.
