nanoUFONew Leak Suggests The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is Getting a Remake | Insider Gaming
SophismaCognoscenteOblivion 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 statsore 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.
In all honesty, Skyrim Requiem gives me a good Morrowind gameplay experience without the dated gabbage (bar some sandboxy Morrowind mechanics that I’d like to see again), and I say this having liked the experience of playing Morrowind a couple years ago. There are much better ways to generate the feeling of character progression than dice rolls.
Interesting, I’ll have to check out Skyrim Requiem. I do think dice rolls are a perfectly valid way of representing character skill though. I’m fine with my characters missing in other games when it appears strange, so I’m fine with its implementation in Morrowind.
