    Why didn’t they remaster Morrowind? It’s the game that needs remastering the most out of the modern 3 TES games.

      Because the newer the game the easier it is for them to asset flip. They could only rerelease Skyrim so many times so I guess Oblivion was the next newest after that.

      The free modder project Skyblivion is also dropping soon and Bethsoft decided to step on their toes for whatever reason

        If Bethesda lawyers take down Skyblivion after like a decade of very public development because of this remaster, I’m never buying fucking anything that Microsoft has ownership of.

      I don’t know what people would even want out of that that isn’t already provided by OpenMW. As far as running at modern resolutions, faster load times, higher FPS, etc. It even runs on phones.

      Oblivion is similar enough to Skyrim and Starfield that a remake isn’t that far out there. Do people really just want Morrowind in the skin of those games?

      They have pretty much nothing in common system or writing wise. I can’t see any situation where it isn’t just a lesser product.

        Morrowind also needs redesign of combat system because misses with zero damage were just so stupid. Remaster would be great time to also address that. Oblivion didn’t have this issue anymore.

      There’s a lot of controversial content in Morrowind. Also its gameplay is a lot more dated. Morrowind is my #1 game of all time, but I can’t see them navigating a new release successfully.
