Rytelier, you forgot to make the characters out of Legos and the PC didn't sparkle when he leveled up.

What the hell was up with that dudes voice?

Is it bad that in a way this video made me happy Morrowind was made in 2002?

I need a new keyboard! I was holding my coffee when the Ordinator "Took an arrow in the knee." and when the Nerevarine "shouted" at Dagoth Ur :lol:

Great video! Thanks for sharing that :)

If Morrowind was made today.....

.....with "modern" gameplay design, I wouldn't buy it.

The video made me chuckle.

It also made me want to play MW again. Though I also enjoy Skyrim - they're just different approaches, made in different contexts.

If Morrowind would be made today,,, I'd still be crying over what was left out from Daggerfall.

So much this.

And that video scares me. Partly, I'll admit, because of the voices. But mostly because it's pretty much what I'm expecting TES VI to be.

Maybe they make it Facebook compatible too. Wanna do the last quest in the main storyline? Tough luck, you need 65 more neighbours. :P

I'd love to see a Morrowind Remake for future consoles.

It'd be cool to see Almalexia redesigned with better graphics.

Some day perhaps.

Thanks for the opinions.

It's a joke, but I think it shows, how are today games (including TES titles). I want actually Bethesda to see, how ridiculous are their choices in their new games. I'm happy to see, that you've catched, what I wanted to say in this video :P

It's not MO or SW, it's just modded Morrowind with movie editing.

You sure did a good job in giving Morrowind the ugly grey gritty visuals Skyrim has. :P

Morrowind would never be made today for the simple reason; Gaming companies do not make story driven games any more!

When you look at the follow up titles; Oblivion, Skyrim and even ESO the basic lore that was so special, the foundation of the the series was ignored and left to the wayside. When Bethesda created Morrowind the company went all in. What I mean by that is they were in financial dire straights. Their previous titles and games were not really considered financial successes and if Morrowind did not do well then the company would have dissolved.

Because their backs were against the wall they went all out.. or in. They hired a writing team that created a lore to rival D&D and created the Construction Set, an idea that was taken from very early commodore and apple computers games from the very early days of home computers. Obviously it made it's mark on Howard and I do remember him speaking about it but I cannot remember from where.

The point is if you look at the quests and main quests of MW and compare it to Oblivion and Skyrim you quickly come to the conclusion that Morrowind was written in a way that it could have been a novel or rewritten as a screenplay. There is no depth to Oblivion and the Skirym quests are kinda childish. Morrowind may be the last true "story driven" RPG ever made. The quality of the story was so good that Bethesda was able to ignore any further story development in the two titles that followed.

Morrowind was a game changer. So much so that even today Bethesda is just repackaging it over and over again with different titles names. There is no question that the engine of Oblivion was a giant leap forward and that the graphics in Skyrim are brilliant but the story of Morrowind is timeless. A fantasy classic.
