Who knows if the much teased Oblivion remake or remaster is happening, but a glossy makeover risks missing the point. Morrowind, meanwhile, is ripe for it.
What made Morrowind great was open structure and wonderful narrative. There’s no denying mechanics sucked for a normal person and those other people (;)) can play OpenMW forever. It’d be cool if it was made more accessible for new generations though. Like a comic book holy bible.
Well, imagine Bethesda remaking Morrowind to mostly corridor walking sim since most side quests and all the optional stuff the game is filled with just cut out. Yeah, I don’t like the idea. And that’s exactly what I believe Bethesda is capable of.

They’d replace all the things that made Morrowind awesome for something dumbed down for casual player with attention span of week old puppy.

Maybe what the youth needs is Final Fantasy XIII but with Dunmer stealth rogue archers.
Would that still be Morrowind?
As much comic book holy bible is a holy bible. It’s an ecumenical matter.
