A remake of Arena, Daggerfall, and other TES title

Post » Sun Jul 21, 2013 5:24 am

When browsing the Morrowind section, I have come across many who suggest that Bethesda remake Morrowind. These suggestions are shot down for reasons that I will not repeat here.

However, I have never witnessed anyone suggest that Bethesda remake older titles such as Arena, Daggerfall, and others. Personally, I believe that these titles are more deserving of a remake than Morrowind because these games, especially Arena, are more obscure and would act as a fresh edition to the TES franchise.

Thoughts?

Considering the amount of stuff that is procedurally generated in Arena and Daggerfall makes any sort of remake troublesome because you'd have to either make them in the way of the newer games and lose most of the world or create new, more detailed generation methods that would fit the quality expected of a HD remake (no escherian mating octopi dungeons or vast empty field outsides or strict grid cities). Neither is an attractive proposition.

Didn't both those games encompass all of Tamriel? Bethesda will never make a game that encompasses all of Tamriel again. I think they prefer going province by province in each sequel. Plus imagine how shallow the remakes will be compared to the originals. Since they spend most of there development time on world building. As evident in Skyrim, beautiful world but very shallow.
