Oblivion is cool, but I’m with everyone else that want to see Morrowind remade first. I’ve been personally holding out for the Skywind mod for several years now. I just checked up on it and, yeah, they’re still workin’ on it.
A Morrowind remake would be fucking amazing. That game felt like it had a billion more things to do that oblivion and Skyrim put together. Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking but either way, I’d want it before oblivion any day.
I’d only want a Morrowind remake with pretty significant tweaks. I’d want dice rolls gone for hits and leveling less convoluted at a minimum. Other nice things would be re-balancing weapons so others are viable beyond short/long blades would be nice, same with giving medium armor some love.
If Bethesda/Microsoft were smart, they’d put out a remastered trilogy collection for Series X/S and PC. Yeah, lean into the meme of re-releasing Skyrim again, but also give people the opportunity to try Morrowind and Oblivion with a new coat of paint.
Morrowind would certainly be the one that would be harder to please people with, though. There are a lot of purists who prefer Morrowind’s style, but there are also a lot of people who want to play Morrowind with Skyrim’s gameplay.
That’s why I think at least Oblivion is the easier obstacle to tackle. You could take all of Oblivion’s environments, quests, and music, plop it all on top of Skyrim’s gameplay, and get an objectively better experience. Skyrim is not without flaws either, but Oblivion was just a straight-up broken game in terms of gameplay progression.
Join the Skywind discord if you haven’t already, pretty frequent updates where they showcase cool stuff they’ve been working on
Literally same. But I would still play the s*** out of an Oblivion remake.
If true, I hope that they leave some of the goofy bugs and ai in the game. I think the weirdness of the interactions between NPCs is part of what made me love the game so much before.
O: “Heard any news from the other provinces?”
M: “Nothing I’d like to speak about.”
O: “Good day.”
M: “Go.”
O: " heLLO! "
M: “Hi.”
I also loved how the guards would try to attack through through space and time, with a lively “Beuaregeh!” as they hit absolutely nothing.
Other times, you’d see a guard kill someone, only for that same guard to go up to the body, gasp and shout “there’s been a murder!”.
I loved some of the messed up object physics too.
Ok, why tf are we still waiting for the next Elder Scrolls?
I honestly really want Fallout 3 on Nintendo Switch.
Do you guys think it’s going to be/look better than Skyblivion - which should drop in 2025
So what does that mean for Skyblivion and Skywind?
Bad news. This is usually when companies move in to stop projects like that
It would be cool to see a reworked Shivering Isles.
I hope they fix archery so that is actually viable.
This was my all time favorite game growing up as a kid, I would love to see it happen!
