… now do it with Morrowind. I dare you. I double dare you!

[–] 1SimpleTailor@startrek.website 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Morrowind would be a whole different beast to remaster. Not saying I wouldn't enjoy some better graphics and tweaked systems, but it would be a hard sell to most gamers if they only did that.

-no voice acting -outdated gameplay systems -Game map that wasn't designed with unlimited draw distance, fast travel, or even unlimited running in mind.

Honestly at this point it would be better served by a full remake.

Morrowind has plenty of fast travel. In fact, it has better fast-travel than later Elder Scrolls games because it's actually integrated into the gameplay.

Agreed. Super convenient fast travel takes something away from the game. It turns an adventure into a handful of loading screens, which is egregious in Starfield because "travel through space" boiled down to "here's 4 more loading screens every single time you want to do anything."

Sky walking was so much fun. Not always faster, but fun

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It was also neat that the game was designed for it (Telvanni towers, secrets in high places, etc.).

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

skyrim has carriages and boats though

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, that's why you'd make it a remaster; to fix all of those things.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Modern mods fix almost all of those issues.
The game can easily be 'remastered'.
