I don't think they should do a remake of Morrowind, but if/when they decide to end the series, I'm hoping it takes place over all of Tamriel, or further, if possible, and then we could see places from older games in the most updated version of an elder scrolls game possible. Of course, a lot of the places would never be the same by then, especially Morrowind, since Vvardenfell got hit by the Ministry of Truth.

Also for Halo all they did was update the graphics, not rewrite any shred of code. For a morrrowind revamp they would have to build it from the ground up, basically a whole new game.

Ummm, you don't get it, do you?

Not everyone has a PC that can handle a fully modded-out Morrowind.

Old topic is old.

I'm going to go play my modded Morrowind now.

Well, if things go the way Todd says he wants them to, then console gamers may be getting mods by the time they ever considered doing something like a remake.

Most people should be able to run Morrowind on their PC and if not then in a few years.

Okay well thats great then. this seems to be a touchy subject with people on here, especially pc people. i just joined the forums so ii have no idea what has been discussed before, probably everything under the sun. by the way, love the profile pic. Jack of Blades ftw!!

the reason halo is getting a remake is because its the game that microsoft was made famous for in the gaming industy. morrowing wouldnt and shouldnt get a remake. thats like saying the ferrari 250 gto should be remade by ford! just crazy talk. btw ferrari 250 GTO probable sixiest car ever

Morrowind came out in 2002 if you can't run it you are on an ipad or need a new PC..

I highly doubt it.

And anyway I would rather they create an entirely new game in a new province, rather than redoing the same game again. There is too much lore to explore and potential too the series, for Bethesda too waste time remaking a game.

IT would be better if they released the full SDK with access to code and everything else.

If there was to be some sort of remake, I'd guess it would be for Daggerfall as someone (Todd?) already expressed some desire to revisit that with a modern approach. But if that were to happen I'd guess it would be Skyrim DLC set in the current timeline, I don't think there will be any 'remakes' and I don't want there to be, Visiting the ruins of morrowind as a Skyrim DLC, however, sounds awesome.

Bethesda moves forward, not simply upping technology. It will never happen on any engine whatsoever.

If there were to be it would likely have too be an independent developer that would do it

Never going to happen, which is disspointing because it would take little effort to directly port things over (maybye take them a year). I doubt they will make a game that revisits Morrowind any time soon, since the Oblivion gates just about destroyed it.

My my touchy subject people. stop being so serious about it all, they are games. Anyway, the discussion was meant to be for fun and for the console gamers who cant get the mods, but i see making this thread was a bad idea. if your a pc gamer, yes we get it, you have mods blah blah blah. so anyway, fine a dlc in modern timeline would be cool. remake would be fine too, including Arena and Daggerfall because i never played those, but i did Morrowind on Xbox. I merely asked about it because it was the first one i ever played in the elder scrolls series.

Finally someone who isnt being a [censored] about this subject! I totally agree with you though, but dlc is possible and may be fun.

I'd much rather see a Daggerfall remake but still they should concentrate on new games instead of that. Morrowind can easily be modded to look and feel far more modern and it has also been ported to Oblivion engine by modders. If youre on a console then too bad. I doubt mods will ever work well on consoles because of microsoft and sony, hardware limitations and many other things. Get a pc. Its well worth the money and isnt much more expensive than a console if you know what youre doing. You can easily get a good gaming pc with 500 or 600. Also long term pc gaming is cheaper if you buy lots of games. You save 10-20 euros/dollars per game.

I doubt they'd waste their time on something like that - they seem to be more interested in releasing new games, not retreading old ones (which tends to get people complaining that a company is being uncreative money-grubbers, when it does happen).

:rofl: hahahaha or any sports game

I love Morrowind and all, but I wouldn't want them to redo it. For one, HD remakes of games are a waste of time (and also kind of insulting), and secondly, Morrowind is still perfectly fine and playable. I am replaying it right now, and it's still lovely, accessible, and playable after all these years.

Now a remake of Arena or Daggerfall using modern control schemes, free of the technical limitations that they had before? That would be something worth looking at. The real problem would be the sheer vastness of Arena and Daggerfall; their worlds were tons larger than even Morrowind. To reproduce them in the handcrafted way people expect nowadays (instead of procedurally generating them) would be very, very difficult.

I don't think Daggerfall, if ported with it's original size, is even technically possible with modern graphics. It would just take SO LONG to develop. Can you imagine creating that much content? It would be like 5 or 6 blu-ray discs.

But damn, it would be the best game ever made.

I think if you were to remake Daggerfall you would need to shrink the continent substantially. In reality it would be no great loss, since most of the wilderness was empty space anyway, but that would still leave hundreds or thousands of tombs, dungeons, caverns, settlements etc etc that need to be done.

But heck, I'd be happy with having the same graphics and everything as long as it had mouselook, a better UI and some other modern controls.

EDIT: OH MY GOODNESS YES. http://xlengine.com/

EDIT: Awwwww it's not an engine conversion. Quests and stuff still don't work. :shakehead:

To port morrowind to today standards would take more work then to create Skyrim.....there is simply so much content in Morrowind that it is not feasible to make it to today's standard of games (in visual quality, voice acting etc). The amount of voice acting required along would be one or more blu ray discs.....there is alot of dialogue in the game.

Thats why there will be no port......too much work.

To the OP - try MGE, and some of the texture overhauls. Add in Better Bodies, and with some tweaking, you can make Morrowind look as good, if not better, than Oblivion. No joke.

Now, there are some things that Oblivion brings to the table that you don't get. Improved NPC models, sitting and laying, better AI, etc. but in terms of the look, you can get so close as to be nearly indistinguishable. If you want to go all the way, there is a mod project to do so, but it's better not to refer to it by name on these forums.
