The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake

The much-anticipated remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion could be coming sooner than expected. According to reliable insider NateTheHate, the game is set to launch either in April or May 2025, which is earlier than the original June release date.

Developer: Bethesda and Virtuos
Engine: Unreal Engine 5
Features: Significant visual enhancements, revamped gameplay mechanics (including stamina, sneaking, blocking, archery, hit reactions, and a redesigned HUD)

This remake is moving at a rapid pace, with insider reports suggesting that Bethesda is preparing an imminent reveal.

What are the enhancements you think are essential to be included in this remake?

As a fan of Morrowind, I don't want them to touch it for the same reason I don't want 343 er.... Excuse me... Halo Studios (literally changed their name entirely to try and reset bad reputation lol) to do a remake of Halo Combat Evolved. And for the same reason I dislike the Silent Hill 2 Remake.

They will try to "modernize" the game to make it appeal to "the wider modern audience," and that just means they will ruin it by completely changing it.

Morrowind is already pretty much perfect as it is, and literally only needs some minor tweaks to OpenMW and a graphical update to be improved. But they're going to think it means they need to touch literally everything; every dialogue box, every quest item placement, all of it. All that stuff that does not need to be changed at all.

Fully voiced dialogue with the old boxes would be nice, but of course they will probably try to AI the shit out of that.

if a company as vile as Konami can do a genuine, worthwhile, faithful remaster of Suikoden 1 and 2, maybe Bethesda can do a faithful remaster of Morrowind.
