I know people are going to hate, but I voted Morrowind. Remake that with Obliv-level graphics and full VO, for real, and I would be super-pleased.
Fact is, when MW came out, either my family didn't have a 'real' computer yet (for some time I typed up highschool homework on a 486), or it was our first half-decent computer, that might have met the minimum requirements. Either way, Morrowind was not on my radar. When I did get into proper PC gaming; I was happy playing UT and Q3.
When Oblivion entered the pre-release hype cycle, I started reading about MW's scale, depth, and modability, and was impressed, but I didn't pick it up.
Last year I got the game off a friend, DL'd some graphics mods, and tried to get into it. Couldn't do it.
Since Oblivion came out, I've had my own income, and have kept my PC up to date with top-end graphics. Between never playing MW back in the day (that is, without a personal sense of nostelga to make it more endurable), and having become quite a comfortable PC graphics elitist, I found MW unable to hold my attention - it was ugly, and blown up to fit my 23" flat's native resolution, the text was a pain to read.
Everything I've heard about MW's game design sounds great, but in its current state, I cannot get into it and experience it myself.
