    The only major TES projects like this that I can really get invested in are Tamriel Rebuilt/Project Tamriel since Morrowind has an open source engine replacement (OpenMW, its great) which means these projects can live forever in the hands of modders and the community. I weep for the day when all the huge New Vegas projects are dust in the wind because eventually it wont be compatible with modern versions of Windows
