Oblivion is cool, but I’m with everyone else that want to see Morrowind remade first. I’ve been personally holding out for the Skywind mod for several years now. I just checked up on it and, yeah, they’re still workin’ on it.
A Morrowind remake would be fucking amazing. That game felt like it had a billion more things to do that oblivion and Skyrim put together. Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking but either way, I’d want it before oblivion any day.
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.
But the dice rolls are what make the character stats more impactful, without them you could do a Skyrim and use whatever you pick up. They help simulate a more frenetic fighting than can be displayed within the game, with enemies dodging and parrying blows.
That last sentence I kind of made up but it sounds good, and I like the dice rolls. Also the leveling is good, minus the incentive to never not jump for acrobatics strength buffs.
Literally same. But I would still play the s*** out of an Oblivion remake.
I would love that, but we need Morrowind first.
Morrowind is one of my favorite games of all time. Imo, Oblivion needs it more. It’s ugly and the leveling makes it damn near unplayable (for me at least).
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.
I want Morrowind
Morrowind or no deal.
Maybe Oblivion will be the new Skyrim and re-release for the next five or six years until Elder Scrolls 6. I’ve seen a worrying amount of revisionism on Lemmy about how Oblivion is actually the best of the games, which is wrong. Morrowind is by far the best and deserves, but also does not require, a remake.
I think a really cool and not going to happen thing would be for a new DLC for these older games, alongside official patches to make them work on modern rigs for new players.
Was it the best or did you just play it a ton when you were younger and now have a nice pair of nostalgia-tinted glasses for Morrowind?
Morrowind was so bad ass.
Oblivion was certainly not the best, but it was a broken mess of a game. It needs a remake because despite all of its bugs and flaws, it was still a very good game.
The story and the world are excellent, gameplay not bad, character progression laughably broken. The bugs are fun in their own way lol.
Do you guys think it’s going to be/look better than Skyblivion - which should drop in 2025
It would be cool to see a reworked Shivering Isles.
If true, I hope that they leave some of the goofy bugs and ai in the game. I think the weirdness of the interactions between NPCs is part of what made me love the game so much before.
O: “Heard any news from the other provinces?”
M: “Nothing I’d like to speak about.”
O: “Good day.”
M: “Go.”
O: " heLLO! "
M: “Hi.”
I also loved how the guards would try to attack through through space and time, with a lively “Beuaregeh!” as they hit absolutely nothing.
Other times, you’d see a guard kill someone, only for that same guard to go up to the body, gasp and shout “there’s been a murder!”.
I loved some of the messed up object physics too.
