Absolutely. But at the same time, the base game is not all that approachable. Remake Morrowind with a proper combat system but leave the rest of the gameplay as is. I mean the lack of quest markers and everything. It’s awesome the way it is. I’ll buy several copies.
That paper map was a masterpiece, and honestly, it’s hard to imagine playing without it. It had all of the regions and major settlements labeled, but that was pretty much it. It was up to you to figure out where all the fast travel routes were, and there were so many tiny little details that were clearly something, but that were left completely unlabeled. If you wanted to find out what they were, you’d just have to go out and find them.
