I don't remember saying anything about morrowind.

Anyway, later if we reimplement our original ROAM engine, we could make a
very real water effect. I mean we could use ROAM terrain engine to render
waves by using a dynamic heightmap... we would use special rules to move
waves (circles) in a bitmap which would be used to render the watter. This
means that if you throw a stone into water a new wave will be created
followed by rendering it. I think it would be a good effect. We could
eventually add also an animated texture for water.
