I’m rabid and hungry because Bethesda has fucked up everything they’ve touched lately and I want something that makes me feel like how old Bethesda games did. Give me Morrowind remaster damnit, and Bethesda didn’t even make Fallout 2 and NV they’d butcher remaster/remakes
Bethesda could earn a significant amount of goodwill back by simply using OpenMW on a Morrowind Remaster and helping with its development, even if only for a year.
That makes zero business sense. Bethesda would never make money on throwing away thousands or tens of thousands of man-hours on that. They would spend more on a remaster, but they would make money in the end.
The Oblivion remaster sold more in two weeks than Oblivion made in a year. It sold more copies in April alone than the original did in 15 months.
Honestly, I feel like Morrowind is the title least in need of a remaster, as unlike later 3D titles, it has an open-source fan reimplementation of the engine, OpenMW, plus the fan updates of content.
Those graphics are ass compared to what could be done today. Just look in the leap from Oblivion to the remaster. Morrowind making a jump in graphics would be monumental.

Morrowind remake should have come before Oblivion. I deeply wish to experience Morrowind again with updated graphics.
I suspect that it is considerably harder to do because of the engine and requires nearly a full remake.

It looks like the OpenMW people are also working on a VR version.
