merrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... Just had to say it. If they remade morrowind with skyrims graphics then Bethesda would have a hunk of gold. And they know it.

Not really. If people want to play Morrowind, they'll just play Morrowind.

Maybe that's what they think they did.

Why do you think there's a pathway to Morrowind in Skyrim? DLC isn't announced yet...

Morrowind cannot be repeated it would just end up as another Skyrim.
It would be like trying to remake Casablanca or Gone With the Wind.
... they can try but marketing would kill off the fun of adventuring and replace it with non-stop blood gushing and half nvde women we can shack up with.... because that's what 'we' apparently want today from a game.

This. A remade Morrowind would be worse than an Elder Scrolls MMO.

What about TImecop? I hear they're remaking that one. And without Jean-Claude Van Damme, if such a thing would be possible.

On Topic: There are several mods with updated graphics, so I dont know how well such a remake would sell.

The biggest problem with Morrowind aren't really the graphics (though Mods really help) it's the combat and the animations, at least for me. Still love the game, but those parts just svck.

Well, the OP was talking about graphical enhancements, not gameplay. Morrowind was my first TES game, so I had nothing to compare the combat system to. If you start off with Oblivion or Skyrim, then go to Morrowind, yes combat sill be vastly different, and likely harder for most people. Yes, combat animations are stiff and unnatural.

I get the feeling you think Bethesda can do something similar to the Halo remaster.

The main problem with this is the fact that the combat in Morrowind is so derpy, if the combat animations were as good as Skyrim the dice roll combat would make even less sense.

There's a fix for that, adding dodge, parry, miss animations that would be consequences of low character skill (even stupid wow has them)


And


This, my only complain about MW is that mechanics svck, not the dice rolls, but its overall presentation, i like nice mix between character and player skill, but i totally hate when it go pure action, or crap like level scaling killing the whole purpose of leveling, and exploration

There are multiple ways to make both player skill and character skill affect combat, and get a system that's "heavily influenced" by die rolls and stats, while FEELING like a pure action game. You can have the speed and accuracy of the weapon's movement tied to the skills, you can have the chance for a dodge, block, or parry depend on the DIFFERENCE in skills between attacker and defender, or you can take the least satisfactory "easy way out" and just nerf damage like they did in Oblivion.

The problem I had with "die rolls" in Morrowind was that some of them gave you no way to influence them. You could choose a weaker spell, or have one made, if your skill in that school of magic was low. Unfortunately, you couldn't select different grades of apparatus to intentionally make stronger or weaker potions, with varying degrees of difficulty; the potions were weaker or stronger but the difficulty was the same. You also couldn't choose an attack form that had a higher "to hit" chance but did less damage, as was possible in DF; MW had 3 different attacks with different damage ratings for each weapon, but they all had the same to-hit odds.

The IDEA was great, but the implementation varied from one game mechanic to another, ranging from excellent to near-useless. Taking away the chance of failure completely in the later games, and incidentally removing several of those game aspects completely, was a case of fixing the wound by amputating the limb....not a good idea unless there's no reasonable alternative.

Were that the case, there'd be no reason for gamesas not to do it; and you and I both know they wouldn't ignore an obvious way to make Big Bucks. Thing is, the market has changed over time. Morrowind was made primarily for the PC, with a port for the Xbox. Skyrim's been made primarily for the PS3 and Xbox, with a port to the PC. That's not to say this is a primary difference, but it hints at a shifting emphasis based on potential number of buyers, and buyer profiles. PC users are demographed as older, with different preferences in terms of kind of game they favor, input device, goals, expectations, etc. Probably just me, but I can't see Morrowind becoming a PS3 success. Can you imagine the number of complaints from PS3 users stating, "I got axes, and when I use one, it hits nothing, all the time! This game is broken!" The change from a dice-rolled RPG to an FPS attack system is just one of the things gamesas's development team implemented over time (in this case, in Oblivion) to appeal to a different and presumably larger group of players.

Myself, I far prefer Morrowind, but I don't find it any better a game than Oblivion or Skyrim--just different. Each objectively has its flaws, and we may roll our eyes at the really devoted fan clones that write "reviews" of these games, but taken as a whole, each of the ES titles achieves what it sets out to do, and does it well.

Why do people continue making these threads about Morrowind made with Skyrim graphics and whatnot? They are two different games, nuff said. If you want Morrowind to look better there are plenty of mods to do that but as it is, either play Morrowind or play Skyrim

Because Morrowind, for many people, is a better game then Skyrim but to quote Cartman "the animations are all crappy"

Mods make up for graphics, they don't improve combat or animations...

not remake morrowind like morrowind, but make the game similiar of the quality with the love put into morrowind. Skyrim is an action game. Totally destroyed TES and the whole concept of exploration in an interesting and captivating world with unique and interesting people. Where every action has a consequence and your always wondering whats going to happen next. Skyrim is nothing but repetitive. It almost feels like everything is a copy of itself. Theres nothing unique or different between the cities. And the dialog is too simple if shortened. Its like get me into the action, but it misses the whole point of what began with the game morrwind. I tell you its the only game they profit off the nostalgia because it trully was a great game I guess can't be reproduced in todays competitive and crappy economy. Just think, without morrowind there would be no TES.

I miss Morrowind becouse i cant play it.
I have that kind of mini pc that doesnt have a disc drive,and i cant buy from steam.
I have morrowind gotye retail and everything miss morrowind<3

[Post deleted]

Won't never happen; don't dream too much, you might be sorely disappointed.

Why miss it, i still play it.

The areas of morrowind and oblivion are implementet in skyrim are they not? I know you can not simply go there an there are no objects but it is there isnt it?!
It would be a hell of a job but do you think some modders could implement it?

morrwind is completely awesome, im on the trial to unite the houses. This game just got really challenging all of the sudden. lol

Could not have said it any Better. Thats the idea that i've been trying to get out.

I've wanted a Final Fantasy 9 remake for years now never got it. I've also wanted a Shadow of the Colossus remake which I got but haven't played because the mechanics are dated, and I could never relive the beauty of my first experience with that game.




Where to start. I think you're mistaken in the chronological order of the TES games. I believe Morrowind was the third game in the series, meaning that much of what you posted seems out of place... unless I'm missing your point.

I'll say this. Is Morrowind a good game? Yes, does it deserve a remake? Not with the modding community. Halo got a remake because the first Halo was basically shut down, the servers were shut off and it was no longer playable. I don't believe Halo 1 had a huge modding community, and it was probably evenly split between Xbox and PC. Bungie also isn't making games at this point (at least not that I'm aware of) so make a remastered Halo was only right.

Does the TES franchise deserve another game like Morrowind, or at least one with at much love? As a music fanatic who struggled with this idea of "Why can't every album sound like their first" I've come to realize crap changes man. To say that Burial didn't put as much love into his latest EP as his first album is somewhat absurd. Not to mention I get bored of bands that never progress.

For me I'm enjoying Morrowind in all its nostalgic glory. However I'm able to take the good with the bad and when its bad... its bad. But when its good it's really good and that's enough for me.
