New Leak Suggests The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is Getting a Remake | Insider Gaming

If Bethesda/Microsoft were smart, they'd put out a remastered trilogy collection for Series X/S and PC. Yeah, lean into the meme of re-releasing Skyrim again, but also give people the opportunity to try Morrowind and Oblivion with a new coat of paint.

Morrowind would certainly be the one that would be harder to please people with, though. There are a lot of purists who prefer Morrowind's style, but there are also a lot of people who want to play Morrowind with Skyrim's gameplay.

That's why I think at least Oblivion is the easier obstacle to tackle. You could take all of Oblivion's environments, quests, and music, plop it all on top of Skyrim's gameplay, and get an objectively better experience. Skyrim is not without flaws either, but Oblivion was just a straight-up broken game in terms of gameplay progression.

I'd only want a Morrowind remake with pretty significant tweaks. I'd want dice rolls gone for hits and leveling less convoluted at a minimum. Other nice things would be re-balancing weapons so others are viable beyond short/long blades would be nice, same with giving medium armor some love.

Oblivion is by far the ugliest of them. I was going to write about how the leveling system in it isn't that bad, but if you mean the level scaling of enemies then yeah that sucks.

Yeah im currently playing theough modded morrowind and all of my mods are exclusively textures, meshes, tamriel rubuilt and skyrim home of the nords. And the game still runs and feels decent save the occasional getting stuck in or on random shit, mind you im playing as a Nord (the largest race) and I can do that in fallout 4 and skyrim so who cares.

It's about 90% nostalgia and 10% squinting to read text on a TV so I could find the two places whose intersection is where I need to go.

I went back to Morrowind recently and it is still a very charming game that I had fun with. It was revolutionary for its time and it managed to do a lot with the limitations it had. Sure, there are a lot of design elements that are, by today's standard, quite outdated. And there are systems that are easily abusable or just broken by default. But there's no other setting quite like Morrowind and it gives you the most flexibility of any Elder Scrolls game. Not to mention having almost 2 decades worth of mods, along with a great open source alternative engine, really helps give it a new lease on life.

Both. Because of Morrowind I was extremely excited for Oblivion when I was younger, it was the first game I followed development for. I enjoyed it but the uglyness, level scaling, clunky combat which reduced the impact of character stats, walled towns, a shitty imperial city, and a more generic fantasy setting really makes it not as good as Morrowind.

I was also ridiculously excited for Skyrim since I mainly played Nords and wanted to explore their land. I loved Bloodmoon in Morrowind so it should have been great to have a full game with a similar setting. The shallow guilds and almost near complete removal of character creation and meaningful stats really disappointed me, although the setting is much better than Oblivion and it actually looks fairly nice.

Skyrim is much better than Oblivion, Morrowind beats Skyrim for me due to depth and meaningful character creation and attributes.

No. It's the best. The minute they added level scaling to carebear for normies, they ruined the franchise.
