OpenTESArena VS OpenJK

Arena: Waiting on a playable release of OpenTESArena.

Here's the Arena remake project, which is not using Unity but is instead a complete reimplementation using C++: https://github.com/afritz1/OpenTESArena

Here’s a good source to read first. It’ll help you set up your first character so you don’t waste much time failing again and again. I also want to jump into Arena but I’ll wait for a wholesome OpenTESArena. The controls are of the previous century making it very tiresome to play. You could also see some playthroughs on YouTube. Imo it’s worth some time to play around a bit in Arena but if you plan to move on to Daggerfall, go straight to DaggerfallUnity. Cheers and have fun. (And say goodbye to friends…)

Your options are going to be very limited, especially since OpenTESArena has not even reached Beta state yet. But TES Arena Remapped let's you play with WASD controls (you'll want to rename the mapper file to your version of DOSBox).

Nonsense. It's definitely not. The last commit is from June 2022 (https://github.com/afritz1/OpenTESArena) and the Discord Channel active with the dev itself posting quite frequently.

I reckon that'll happen a few days after OpenTESArena gets mod support.

There is no such mod as of yet, but OpenTESArena is being developped and it might provide new options modders.

The Elder Scrolls: Arena has an experimental Linux client with no actual gameplay yet. The version on Steam is apparently the floppy version and is lacking some features, however it does run fine through Doxbox.

There is one, written in c++ https://github.com/afritz1/OpenTESArena

JK XR is a VR port of the Jedi Knight games using OpenXR (the open standard for virtual and augmented reality devices) and is based on the excellent OpenJK port, originally forked from: https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK

Although you'll probably need to install OpenJK anyway afterwards.

It's still active.

Pro tip the source code was released a few years ago and some fans made some updates: https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK you only need to download the files from Amazon and then execute from the openjk to enjoy the game fully on modern systems, works with mods too.

There's the OpenJK engine for those. Same way people can play them on the Pi.
