Morrowind Deserved a Remake Before Oblivion

[@JarlFrank]

Morrowind should not get a remake because they would change all the things that make it great. Also, Morrowind already has an open source engine port in OpenMW, and the Tamriel Rebuilt/Project Tamriel modding teams are doing great work in adding more lore-accurate content. Bethesda could never reach their level of quality.

[@tjhedgescout3052]

Exactly, OpenMW does a much better job improving Morrowind for modern day.

[@YarGolubev]

Regarding subtitles, most players read them faster than they can listen to the voice over, and they simply skip the voice acting. Test yourself - with an 80% probability, after just an hour of playing, you will read subtitles faster than you listen) So statements about “mountains of texts” from NPCs are just excuses for a small part of the players. "Who's going to read the text on TV?! Lots of people" (c) Ashley Cheng, Bethesda

[@AVVGaming1]

@@YarGolubev okay so you’re correct in one aspect! So most people do read the subtitles first, I know I do. But they are fed one line at a time. So like if I sent you a text and replied to this message with “really like comment mate! Easy to understand!” You’ll most likely read it. But if I write you a giant essay size response you’re most likely either not going to read it or skim through it. It’s the whole tldr thing we have in today’s society. Either way, I would think they need to change it. And there is a reason why games keep releasing games with voice actors and not text.

[@YarGolubev]

@ I'll just read it :) Communication can grow into a bunch of threads - and discussions) Once I start discussing it, I can’t stop. To be honest, the “hypertext” system of Morrowind can and should be remade. Like Tim Kane did in Arcanum - for example. Where is also a hypertext system - created in Excel. It’s just that the dialogue there is diluted with demands from the player to enter clarifying questions :)

[@johng6657]

While fundamentally yes, Morrowind deserved a remake sooner, Oblivion needed one. Oblivion is currently the only mainline TES game (sans Arena) without a stable, 64 bit engine. Daggerfall has Daggerfall Unity, Morrowind has Open Morrowind, and Skyrim has Skyrim Special Edition. Meanwhile, Oblivion is stuck with the crashtastic original 32-bit engine.

[@cybernomad5971]

I'm going to date myself somewhat here, but Morrowind was the game of my childhood. The scope of the game and the options I had in playing blew my mind at the time and introduced me to rpg style games. The fact that I had to learn skills to advance in personal and professional survivability and progression had never hit the same as other games did in quite the same way. The idea that you could just conplete the tutorial in under 5 minutes and be placed in the world to figure stuff out and make your own story of it (i believe) has never really been replicated since. The story of Tamriel in general and Morrowind in particular also fascinated me as the alien nature of the landscape and the internal and external politics of the time,region, and era captured my imagination in a way that other games didn't. My point is that Morrowind is an excellent game, but it can be easy to bounce off of if you didnt grow up with it and the type of game that required active engagement.

Me too , first Elder Scrolls game I played . I had it for first Xbox with the dlc , fun game .

[@jabur81]

I was in my early twenties when I got Morrowind GOTY on the original Xbox, and damn did it change my gaming life. I had already played Fable and loved that, but honestly Morrowind put it to shame. It’s still one of my favorite games of all time

[@TheMysterieRPGguy]

Honestly, I don't think Morrowind needs a remake more than Oblivion does. When I was young I didn't like to read now I do, so I'm pretty sure those young gamers will grow over that in time. Elden Ring has proven you don't need map makers and a cluttered UI to "help" players find their way. Mods help a lot with how the game looks. And since Morrowind seems to run better than Oblivion on modern systems despite the fact it's older, I think that proves Oblivion is in a bigger need for a remake than Morrowind is.

[@AVVGaming1]

That’s amazing that it runs better than Oblvion! I think it’s more for console players I was thinking of. I just feel like it’s crazy that they will remake the others and Leave Morrowind but at the end of the day, oblivion is the easier of the two to redo and it will have more of a guarantee in terms of revenue. Plus if they bring it back, Morrowind, and it changes a lot it could ruin its legacy. Just wish some gamers had the chance to experience it and see why Bethesda has struggled to match those standards

[@TheMysterieRPGguy]

@AVVGaming1 I guess console players can get something out of it yes. But honestly I'm still not even sure they are doing a Oblivion remake, sure there's been a lot of talk about it but not from Bethesda themself, so I don't really know what to think. The Xbox developer direct has come and gone with nothing about Oblivion, next one is somewhere in June I believe so maybe we'll hear more then. But until Bethesda says something about it I'm working under the assumption it's just a rumor.

[@jonncockrell3606]

Bethesda is incapable of remaking Morrowind or Oblivion in a satisfactory manner. INCAPABLE.

[@TheMysterieRPGguy]

@@jonncockrell3606 I wouldn't say they are incapable of doing so, but I do agree with you that the Bethesda of today is very different from what they were back then. They would need to re-learn how they were back then, which is possible because a lot of the people who are now higher up in the company today were there back then as lower level people. But I will admit it's very unlikely.

[@null40404]

Morrowind has a remake. It's called OpenMW. An official remake would mean you could no longer play Tamriel Rebuilt or Project Cyrodiil, mods that add more content to base Morrowind than Oblivion + Skyrim combined. So, no thank you. I hope they never do an official remake.

[@shannonhonadle857]

I remember when Morrowind came out. I had never heard of mods before and the idea that someone like me could customize content for the game blew my mind. Along with the fact it was the first game I felt was "Do your own adventue" and not having to follow the main campaign, I was so in love.

[@Ascottishsamurai]

I just reinstalled Morrowind and updated it with the OpenMW engine and over one hundred mods this weekend. I haven't played it since the early 2000s. At the end of the first day in the game, a patrolling guard wandered up to me with a lit torch out. "Best go inside for the night. Only dark deeds happen after dark, outlander," he said. And I realized he had a point. The stores were closed and locked, and I had no fast travel to pass the time to the next day. I NEVER sleep in Skyrim or Oblivion unless I need to, but this dialog made me realize that I actually wanted to. It made me feel immersed. But I didn't have enough gold for a room. So I wandered into the nearest Mages Guild hall, joined the guild, and found an empty bunk in the common area. Now I have a whole new questline and a deeper connection to a faction within the game. All because a guard realistically told me to get some sleep and I couldn't fast travel. It's such a small but important detail that makes the world of Morrowind feel so much more alive.

[@AVVGaming1]

@@dagerry yeah I think that’s the thing in that it could tarnish its legacy. It’s like some people hold certain games on pedasel and once they revisit it it can lose that magic. It’s better off staying where it is. I remember I played the new Mario kart and I swore for years that the Wii version was the best. Finally me and my mate got it and played it. It became evidently clear that I had painted the game in a different light based on my nostalgia lol

[@dagerry]

@AVVGaming1 I think Morrowind needs better graphics for sure but it is hard to imagine to read those text blocs out aloud or I'm not even sure if this crazy overpowered magic system can be replicated in a newer engine xD The custom spells are my favorite magic system. They could improve melee combat though but on the other hand the dice/miss system is so iconic that I'm not sure a modern normal boring melee combat system would work. It really feels like the game is too strange to remake into a mondern game. I just watched demo Skywind project footage (Morrowind remade in Skyrim engine) and I'm not sure if I would like to play it because I don't think it would feel like Morrowind but they definitely try... I'm satisfied with OpenMW so far.

Bethesda was not a small studio. She was big + publisher. The success of Morrowind saved them from the debt trap. Actually, Bethesda founded Zenimax because they, like Bethesda, were no longer lending money. And in another name with a clean credit history you could get more money. On the contrary, during the development of Morrowind, the team size shrank.

[@TheVoitel]

I don’t think that would be reasonable. What Oblivion is rumored to get is not as much a remake of the game, but a modernisation of the engine. And this is quite relevant, as Oblivion’s engine does have technical limitations that show especially once you start modding the game. Now, Morrowind tends to be overglorified due to nostalgia, but we need to keep in mind how much changed with Oblivion, especially on the technical and mechanical side, but also on the general quality of assets. The difference between Oblivion and modern games is by far smaller than the difference between Morrowind and Oblivion. Add microtransactions to Oblivion and you essentially have a modern game (in terms of game mechanics). This might constitute to a reason why Morrowind would deserve a remake, but it also means that Morrowind does need much more than just a modernisation of the engine. Now, even then it is going to be hard to get the original Morrowind engine to anything useful, so essentially you’d need to recreate the engine. And if you want that, this has been done in the open source project OpenMW (and this is feasible as Morrowind is quite a simplistic game from a mechanical standpoint, with Oblivion this would be much harder). But then you’d still be left with the same issues you have brought up. The game would require recreation of all assets (which also includes design and world design), voice acting and stuff. And then you’ll probably need to incorporate more modern mechanics to appeal to new players. But then this is going to piss off old players. And then you would have the problem that Morrowind is actually quite small. The perceived size of Morrowind comes from the technical limitation of view distance, having no fast travel and the slow movement speed (you know, Morrowind was the game where you could not keep running). So when you take this to a more modern style Morrowind is going to fell quite small. So you’d really need to make things larger and stuff. So all in all, Morrowind would essentially require a complete recreation of the game, which is going to take a very much larger budget than this rumored Oblivion remake would take. Because Morrowind was a great game. But it was a great game in 2002. Some 4 years later Morrowind was already a not so great game that people loved because it was great back in the time.

[@AVVGaming1]

Fantastic points! The work involved would be huge and like you said, if they change stuff fans of the original game where not like it. It would be a lot harder to get right.

Remakes are bad. Just a company trying to cash in on good older games because their new games are all terrible.

Imagine the money they would make. A morrowind remake would be an absolute cash cow. Those of us who grew up with morrowind throw our money at them for a good honest remake. Even to this day with all the fancy graphics and whatnot, Morrowind still has 1000x more atmosphere. I'll never forget being a kid, listening to that banger of an OST and being too scared to venture outside of villages because the alien world and enemies blew my mind. The lore, the story, music, the world, it's all amazing. I liked oblivion when it came out, and I'm glad it's getting some more love because he really got neutered when it came to hardware and the engine, but morrowind absolutely needs a remake.

For me, I think that remaking Oblivion might just be a test-of-concept as to how Morrowind could be remade. Because I think that Morrowind's revisions would not just be a "remaster", but it would have to be made from ground-up. So much would have to be rewritten and redesigned, because it's so different in its codebase from Skyrim. Thus, it'd take quite a while, and I'm not sure that Bethesda will do that until they see how they make from the sales of Oblivion's remaster.

New Vegas is in the similar position for both Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, neither games were as well loved over time as New Vegas, and it is due to their poor story lines Take it as you will, but Oblivion doesn't have the mod scene either Morrowind nor Skyrim have, Fallout 3 is quite literally subverted in the mod Tale of Two Wastelands which uses New Vegas as the base.

Morrowind will take a lot more effort to remake than Oblivion. Most of the game systems will have to be fully redone which means Bathesda has to commit to the game with a larger team for a longer period of time. They just don't want to commit because the ROI wasn't good enough. Maybe if the oblivion remake sells well they'll consider.

[@AVVGaming1]

I think money talks and they would assume oblvion is the safer bet of the games they have released. It would probably do very well. I still think Morrowind would outsell it though because there’s more new elements to it. Not many fans of Skyrim have had the chance to play it.

[@edwhatshisname3562]

Todd when asked "do you think you will ever remake any of your older games?" Todd: "No.. I like the charm.. of the older games..." "Charm" indeed... This is why Bethesda has a "Todd problem".

[@brendanscanlan5699]

Oblivion Remake will be released on the 20th anniversary. 20 March 2026. Two years later we'll finally get TESVI, on the 10th anniversary of the teaser trailer. The remake of Morrowind will be released on its 30th anniversary. 1 May 2032.

[@thepottervault]

My FPS RPG gaming on PC goes back to Ultima Underworld and I still play that!. I remember when Morrowind first came out and how insanely awesome it was. I still play it now although through OpenMW and heavily modded graphically. It 100% deserves a remake. If they kept the gameplay elements and UI as close to the original as possible but added voiced NPC's I'd pay good money for that.

[@peregrination3643]

I think Todd Howard made a comment once about how they were afraid to remake Morrowind because too much of what's loved about it is tied to the time it was made. You modernize parts of it, and many fans won't accept it. It's something of a "pure" game, flaws and all. It has too specific of a feel.

[@adam-xi2nc]

If I remember correctly this has always been a conversation point within the community, short answer no long answer yes it definitely should. Morrowind is absolutely massive with a lot of "dialogue" that has to be voiced for a proper remaster. That alone would probably be double the size of the game alone. You could say use AI to speed up the recording process but that even has its limitations. A lot of the dialogue could be cut to reduce size but then it will be another oblivion with only two speech options. The work to accomplish the project wouldn't be worth the profit. There's a lot more on why it's not commercially feasible but it really is something that needs to happen. We need a dedicated team that loves this game and everything about it to be able to recreate even a resemblance of what Morrowind truly is.

[@filidhdeklend893]

I'd agree, but Morrowind wasn't Todd Howard's game. People pushed back against him and snuck a lot of the choices we had into the game because Todd just wanted to run around as a jock barbarian smashing everything. Oblivion is the game where Todd got full control, and look, it's a game that's mostly just running around as a jock barbarian smashing everything.

[@catriona_drummond]

I don't think it's possible to remake Morrowind commercially. It is a PC game, an old-school-ish RPG and it's more of an open world with RPG-mechanics, ruleset and stories on top. Converting it into the modern, first person skill based action adventure that people now expect would lead to ludicrous compromises. It's just not compatible.

[@cursedmonkey1033]

I think you make great points and I agree. I would love this. Xbox is asleep at the wheel it seems, with everything they could be doing with ES and Fallout. But at least we're getting Oblivion.

[@OfficialRaveBlitz]

Morrowind and Oblivion don't need Remakes, they're perfect as is. If you wanna update them, just use mods.

[@HaseOster]

Morrowind doesn't need a remake because it is great as it is, and it is already better at many things than later games. And it already has such great mod projects as Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Tamriel. To wish for a remake is pure ignorance.

[@LindrosPetri]

I don’t understand the constant need for remakes especially when remake means a few quality of life improvements and better graphics. Any remake of Morrowind will not be better than what you can already achieve via OpenMW and mods. If it is a remake adding NPC schedules and Radiant AI, for example, that would be amazing, however, the chance they would ever do such a thing is very low because it is hard. I simply do not understand this need for remakes. It feels like it is hype created by companies so that gamers give more money to them for a few scraps of improvements.

Morrowind doesn't need a remake, it has OpenMW.

[@ClellBiggs]

This is my favorite TES game. I'm not sure how I feel about it being remade. Today the systems are so outdated that to get younger players interested you'd need to throw out nearly all of it, which in my mind is what makes the game special. We're getting Skywind (hopefully) in a few years and it should allow people who can't get into Morrowind's outdate mechanics a chance to experience the world and story (as long as they have a PC). I certianly wouldn't turn down a remake, but I think the resources could be better spend elsewhere (admittedly I feel the same about the Oblivion and rumored Fallout remakes/remasters).

[@AVVGaming1]

Yeah I think it’s just a shame some haven’t had the chance to experience it! I know a few of them myself and it’s sad to know they can’t get into it nowadays. But like you said, maybe the past is better in the past rather than bringing it back and ruining its legacy.

[@ClellBiggs]

@AVVGaming1 I should be clear that I don't disagree about it needing a redo more than Oblivion. They clearly went with Oblivion because they thought it would be easier. But for me either of them being remade is... fine. I neither wanted it nor did I not want it. I hope it turns out well.

[@DislocatedBungieJump]

Morrowind is a much larger scale undertaking to remake than Oblivion.

[@YarGolubev]

As Ubisoft designers noted when looking at Elden Ring: “My life was a lie - everything I knew about Ui/ux and the convenience of players turned out to be unnecessary for the players - since Elden Ring was given the game of the year.” If you add markers to the Morrowind remake, it will take away the charm of the game.

[@AVVGaming1]

@@YarGolubev yes I’m not necessarily saying they should add that, but I wanted to explain how it puts new players off. Like I love KCD and many games that don’t have markers and let you figure it out. It’s more memorable. But some people don’t like that. They want to be told where to go as it’s less time consuming. What they would probably y need to do is meet in the middle. Some guides but leave a lot for players to find out themselves.

[@march8482]

Do people REALLY love Elden Ring or is it just a hype? I think it is the most overrated game at this moment. Enemy variety isn't great, the world is kinda stale (imo), the horse makes the game easy, etc. I love Dark Souls, but man, I just cannot get into this game.

[@PoeLemic]

@AVVGaming1 Have the map-marker feature where you can turn it off or on. For me, I'd prefer it, but not where it shows me exactly where it is -- but where it hints at the region. Then, it becomes a map-marker after I have discovered it.

[@AVVGaming1]

@ yeah you know which I really like? The ones in dragons dogma 2 and Zelda TOTK where it gives you an area to search but still leaves a lot for the player the discover themselves

[@vennin7781]

Morrowind's mechanics made the game. No modern remake would respect them.

[@lanelesic]

I disagree. There should never be a Morrowind remake or remaster or anything. Its great the way it is. Before you say a remake would bring Morrowind to the new generations of players that cannot read, and cannot grasp the concept of hit chance and damage formulae in a RPG, by making a remake in style of "modern audience" games the core of what Morrowind is would be ruined. Best decision Todd ever made is to veto any such attempts, as the result could be some rollslop like Elden ring or even worse some sony template non-game like Horizon zero one two, or even worse some Ass creed or baldurs gate tier abomination against mankind.

[@edwhatshisname3562]

So far, it seems like Skywind is the closest thing we are going to get as far as remakes are concerned, and the release of that mod is still a way off.

[@cybervantyz]

I think I do know why. Morrowind is *too important*. It's the most iconic game of all the RPGs ever made, and everyone will HATE Bethesda if she fails (as she can and does) They are switching to different engine right now, and Oblivion is just a safe choice. Not a big deal if they do something wrong with Oblivion.

[@AVVGaming1]

@@cybervantyz yeah that is probably the soundest take. It’s probably just the fear of messing it up. I know there’s a lot of Skyrim fans and many strong opinioned Morrowind fans but I rarely hear someone who is a dedicated oblvion fan so the backlash would be easier to deal with.

[@danielbiyatanov9892]

Game developers should understand that we the players need all the ellder scrolls as a searies but made in one style like skyrim would be the ultimate style and after that just keep generating new maps and further lore and beautiful stories brining back poetic heroic edvebturaous journeys for the ellrer scrolls to be pulished into a perfect huge seasons of content, would nt that be something ...

[@bensmosarski2624]

This is probably a long off conspiracy theory but I'll throw it out here anyways. Based on the systems we know they are reworking: hit registration, blocking, sneak, archery, HUD, and fatigue, that sounds an awful lot to me like the things in Morrowind that needed the biggest rework for a modern audience, not oblivion. Oblivion's blocking, sneak, archery, hit registration, and fatigue effects had minimal rework between oblivion and skyrim, but they all were massively changed between morrowind and oblivion. My bold prediction is we're getting a bait and switch morrowind remake, NOT, oblivion... but maybe I'm huffing too much hopium.

[@DerTovemeister]

Easy reason why Morrowind is not getting a remake before Oblivion: it’s way easier to remake Oblivion. I’m not sure how people might respond to a game that can be broken without a failsafe ending
