They don’t have the creativity or the engine capability to recreate morrowind unfortunately.
I’d love to be proven wrong. But I won’t. I don’t want Morrowind in the Skyrim engine. I want to fly.
To be fair, the remaster used UE5. Bethesda is apparently not above some engine fuckery, and there’s also remade engine for morrowind in the form of OpenMW. Do I know what I’m talking about here? No, not at all, but if someone explains to me why I’m wrong I’ll be all the smarter for it, so fuck it. Posting this.
The remaster used unreal 5 for the graphics and creation for the game logic. It’s still the same shitty creation engine it always has been
Well, I guess that’s a step up, somewhat. Starfield ran like hot garbage on my steam deck, so I’m glad they did that.
I can’t blame them for using the same framework. Porting a game between engines sucks 7 tons of ass, especially when it wouldn’t even more their biggest project happening at the moment, and the bigger project uses the old engine most likely.
don’t worry, unreal games run even worse than starfield
Yeah, I tried to learn to use unreal once. It got me 500gb of tree models that made my computer hotter than hell.
In actuality, though, it does run at a solid 30fps on deck. The textures are fucking disgusting sometimes, though.
I’d love to have Oblivion replace Skyrim.
I swear to fuck if this post cancels Morrowind Remastered there will be consequences
Morrowind was the best of the series. I would love to see it remastered and the mods ported.
Of the entire series, this is the only one I’ve always been holding out for.
People are going to make mods to bring back the older graphics.
It’s been two fucking days
I’m putting my bets on Skyrim Remastered before we see Morrowind or TES6.
Or maybe a skyrim-(or fallout-)based battle royale shooter, i could see that being very likely too.
A roguelike metroidvania with soulslike mechanics in the TES universe
Needs more buzzwords.
Maybe a farming sim mechanic is in order, and “cozy aesthetics”
Can it also be a deck builder?
roguelike metroidvania
Fuck that entirely
gotta milk that cow now that skyrim is dry
Fuck lmfao
I forgot about this meme I fucking loved it.
They should start going back now. Do Morrowind next.
Morrowind’s lore and artistic direction was far superior to Oblivion and Skyrim. I will fight people who disagree with this (not physically though, that hurts).
N’wah!
Okay skoomer
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.
I enjoyed the lack of the quest markers. The thrill of exploring the wilderness, trying to find the location, and the haunting cries of a Cliff Racer.
the haunting cries of a Cliff Racer.
… for 30 minutes as it slowly slowly descends to your elevation to fight.
The AI pathing could use some help, I’ll admit.
It’s prefect as is. The Cliff Racer terrorizes it’s target with the screams as it slowly moves in for the kill.
Agreed. I remember hanging the paper map from the box on the wall beside me as reference while playing.
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.
I’m struggling to remember anything else in gaming that tickled my imagination quite like that map…
no do daggerfall just to fuck with people
daggerfall remake might be interesting
Euro truck simulator: elder scrolls edition
Euro truck simulator: Fast travel
That is a good elevator pitch
Morrowind remake with Bloodmoon, Tribunal, and new additions on a map larger than Skyrim, in a self-contained portable VR set that also works as a handheld and PC. I will pay $10k for that if I have to live in a cardboard box.
Is this $10k for high fantasy or low reality?
Tamerial Rebuilt, the Cyrodil mod, and the Skyrim mod, with either the Script Extender or with the OpenMW engine will do all of that for you.
Good to know. How do I get started learning how to do all that?
Start here!
Thanks! You’re doing Vivec’s work over here.To be alive is to hear whispers of possibilities.
Yup!
And a collection of mods that’ll give you all the extra landmasses and pretty things along with QoL can be found here:

Daggerfall when
Right now for free, now using Unity
You’d be surprised how good it can get with mods. In comparison to the OG game of course.
Well if the pattern is to be followed, we have three more oblivion releases, and 3 more morrowind releases. So that’s like a decade at least
Right before Arena!
Omg the arena in Morrowind…
They already have Daggerfall Unity.
I kinda wonder if that had something to do with the decision to do Oblivion.It’s probably more to do with preempting the eagerly anticipated Skyblivion, which is scheduled for release some time this year…
Lol
I don’t understand why people are talking so much about a has-been studio’s remaster of its worst entry to the series. anything to avoid making tes6 I guess.
I’d call you a killjoy, but I’m still having a lot of fun with it, so you obviously didn’t succeed. I guess you’re just boring then.
