A few years back I was playing OpenMW quite extensively, always on the lookout for potential bugs. I remember it getting harder and harder to find new issues, and for most of the ones I found in the last few months of that period I had to double- or triple-check with the original version to make sure it was an OpenMW-specific bug (often times it turned out it was a bug with the original game as well). I contributed some 100-150 bug reports, most of which I think are fixed by now (a bit hard to tell because they switched bug tracker in the meantime).
Funnily enough sometimes OpenMW worked too well. E.g. there is a script that damages the final boss for each of his "captains" that you kill, which never worked in the original version because IIRC the engine couldn't modify the health of an unloaded mob. In OpenMW it worked perfectly, with the side effect of subtracting exactly 100% of his health if you killed all underlings, resulting in you encountering a corpse as a final boss.
