Problem with a modder doing it is that there won't be any voice over and if there is, they will probably very low quality. I would be willing to join a coalition of modders to rebuild Morrowind exactly like it was in Morrowind, quest line and all just with the new Skyrim systems. I really don't think most people would be happy with a mod that would make Morrowind as it is in the time period (destroyed) but I would always be willing to mod that too just for realism sake.

I don't think this will happen. Most of Morrowind was destroyed by the ministry of truth. The (small) rest was occupied by the argonians.

Certain areas of Morrowind revisited would certainly be feasable as a mod if they were done from scratch and we assumed that Vanderfall has been repopulated after Red Mountain went kabloey 200 years ago, but the entire thing?

Good luck with that.

A DLC in Vvardenfell is one of the possibilities.

I'd rather see a Yokuda or Pyandonea expansion pack, although they'd need a good explanation for the being able to move quickly between that huge distance of ocean... Maybe part of High Rock. Morrowind wouldn't really work that well given the situation.

Besides, wouldn't you rather something new than a remake of an old game?

There could be. Have the game is designed to use voices from Morrowind, but don't actually include them in the mod, then just have people who have Morrowind copy and pastes the voices.

People need to get over this remake "an entire province" garbage. It's too much work. Unless you want a bunch of buildings you can't walk inside with no voice acting or quests you're out of luck. It takes a ridiculous amount of work to mod things. Vvardenfell imports took the better part of a year for me to make and I didn't create any of the meshes (I just put together items in nifscope and almost gave myself carpal tunnel from all the texture work) and that's just the armor that would go in morrowind. Not the weapons, lanterns, books, scrolls, mushrooms, trees, lava flows, dead bodies, and wreckage of the old cities.

Phitt has been working on the sheogorad for YEARS and he's just now getting close to releasing a beta. And that's just one small part of Vvardenfell.

dcl as a revisit would go down well, but to add to the lore, not as a rehash.

Nah.

Morrowind was just awesome. But I would rather let it live on forever in my memories as one of the greatest game of all time. I would rather it be something entirely new with an expansion pack.

Hmmmmm a bit more on the title of the topic it would probably be better for them to do somewhere like high rock since morrowind is a bit........deserted (not completely) and I would assume it would be quite a while since its fully repopulated and flora etc starts growing so it wouldn't be the funnest expansion

I'd rather see a Yokuda

Yokuda is gone, sunken, sowwy. Unless it is now populated by a unknown race of mer with fish tails and gills. Mermaids?

I think Vvardenfell won't be the only casualties from the book(s).

Seriously folks. There was a game called Morrowind. hardcoe MW fans tell me its great. In fact they spend a significant amount of time comparing everything BGS has done since to MW with an emphasis on calling newer gameplay, armor options, voices, storyline, factions, etc. dumb. Modding community re-introduced some of everyone's favorite content and gameplay options from MW back to OB (I contributed some myself) but please...

I'm defenetly not one of those fans that like to see everything be like Morrowind. It would be just nice to see it rendered on a new engine.

this is really unrealistic, you want a whole video game to be in a DLC

I love MW, but I'd rather visit someplace completely new in an expansion.

I just hope we get a real expansion, rather than the more bite-size Fallout-style DLC.

I should elaborate. The information on Yokuda is almost nonexistant and the Redguards have lived (supposedly) exclusively in Tamriel for a long time now. It is never explained HOW it was destroyed or what exactly it being destroyed entails, so it could still have people living there even. I have not seen any actual source saying it was 'sunken', simply 'gone' or 'destroyed', which is very ambiguous. I don't even understand how a continent that big COULD 'sink'. Also, this is 200 years later. Lots can happen.

high rock would SERIOUSLY make a good expansion- its so small compared to the other provinces.
