Oblivion Remaster? Yawn. Morrowind Deserved It First.

[F.F]

Not to ruffle any feathers (actually, yeah, a little), but did we really need an Oblivion remaster before Morrowind?

Oblivion is fine. It’s charming, I guess. Potato-faced NPCs, clunky dialogue, and that oh-so-immersive level scaling where bandits roll up in full Daedric armor. Peak immersion.

Meanwhile, Morrowind gave us a genuinely alien world, political factions that mattered, and actual freedom. No quest markers holding your hand. Just you, a journal, and the ash-covered wasteland.

But nooo, let’s remake the one where every city looks the same and the main quest is literally “close 200 identical gates.”

Morrowind walked so Oblivion could trip over its own fast travel system. Sorry not sorry.

You don't want Morrowind updated. Look at what Bethesda has become since then. OpenMW and mods like Tamriel Rebuilt are far beyond what beth would ever do with morrowind.

No it doesn’t morrowind has such a unique art style aesthetic it doesn’t need any alterations you wouldn’t re-sculpt the Michelangelo would you ?

I hated morrowind. So that is no sale for me.

[Lahgtah]

Morrowind is overrated poser-core. It's not really THAT good.

[Svide]

Nah yall stay away from morrowind. Learn to read

[Mad Matt Dog]

if they are going to give it the same treatment they gave Oblivion, id be more than happy to see it remastered. What they#ve done here is incredible.

I'd love Morrowind to be remade but in all honesty we all know they'd mess stuff up that we all loved.

I've said it many times, a Morrowind remake isn't likely to ever happen and that's for one reason: it'd be a no-win scenario for Bethesda.

If they change too much of the core gameplay, classic fans won't want to play it and it'd be a gamble as to whether the modern audience would give it a fair shake after knowing just how different Morrowind is compared to what they know.

If they don't tweak the core gameplay to appeal to modern TES fans, they're taking a gamble because of the fact that the number of classic fans is very small compared to the modern TES fandom.

Morrowind was my first TES game (and first Bethesda game in general), it still holds a very special place in my heart, but the Oblivion remaster was the only one that made any sense. Plus, as someone who considers Oblivion to be the greatest game ever made, I'm very happy they gave it the royal treatment.

That said, I wouldn't have been against Bethesda maybe doing an official source port or at least partnering with the OpenMW team to make it an "official" way to play Morrowind in a re-release, maybe with a texture upscale and some very minor graphical tweaks. Problem is, selling something like that would be a major gamble on profitability which is why, as I said, I'm fairly certain an official remaster or remake of Morrowind will never happen.

Morrowind was the greatest. I'm afraid they would mess a remake up also... but I would like to see it. I squeezed everything out of that game and then played it again on xbox.

[FatalError]

It's probably better to wait until bethesda is in a better state, maybe a change of staff in the right places, before they mess with morrowind, if at all.

[Resolute]

I'm waiting for Elder Scrolls Arena Remaster.

[Lamiosa]

I had my best memories with Morrowind, to be honest, I remember it better than Oblivion.

Was so excited when the addons came with werewolves and stuff, even the mods were already very good (could remember a mod where you could turn NPCs into vampires and I ended up with a whole city being my children, lol)

[basketcaseNZ]

Maybe if this does well Xbox will mandate a Morrowind remaster. That's why I bought it day one.

[BluntWrap]

Just waiting for all the crazy naked mods. The gooning is about to be wild.
