    Bethesdas remaster would probably be nothing more than a version with updated graphics and lighting and support for modern software. This guy is rebuilding the game from scratch in a modern engine.

      These people are rebuilding the game from “scratch” in Skyrim’s Creation Engine version, but it’s still nothing more than a version with updated graphics and lightning. Bethesda’s probably going to be using FO4 or Starfield’s CE version, which will have the same result albeit shinier.

      even that would be expecting too much, I’ll be shocked if that “graphics update” is anything more than only slightly better texture replacements

    Keep at it! Been stoked for Skyblivion. And there’s no way the remaster will even match it. They’ll likely just upgrade the graphics a bit and call it a day

    Why do a remake of the worst ES? Lazyness?

    Bethesda, do a (good!) rework of morrowind, you cowards!

      At least Oblivion, unlike Skyrim, had actual classes (let’s not talk about the leveling system, shall we?) and spell making. Plus some really, really good questlines (including the main quest, and the whole Shivering Isles expansion was rad AF). The cities also felt larger than in Skyrim and the Arcane University was an actual university, not a random village school with 3 students. Role-play wise Skyrim was the weakest of the three modern ES games.

      Oblivion is pure comfort food to me. Sure it’s a broken mess to the point where it’s best not level up, but it just has this serene vibe to it.

        A few years ago I replayed Oblivion for the first time since it came out. I played a pure spellcaster with no weapons or armor and it was a goddamn blast.

        I would just sprint and jump around like a moron while invisible and ignore most threats. Threats I had to deal with got vaporized.

        So much fun.

        That’s a little extreme, here at the fediverse we should strive to do better than reddit, so instead of asking them to delete their account, ask them to defederate. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

      It can’t be remaked for many reasons. The best they can do is fund OpenMW or give up their assets. Actually making anything from it is not only rebuilding it, but solving many ways Morrowind is fucking broken.

      And I love it for how disfunctional it is.

          100 full time dedicated engineers and artists which probably the majority of them are veterans vs a mod teams team of part time students and professionals. I don’t know do the skull make you look more edgey?

      They’re also just a total of 77 people doing this in their spare time instead of a team of at least 300 full time devs.

          And Skyrim took 6 years to make for a 100 people working a full time job?

          How long did you expect 77 people working in their spare time to take? 2 months?

              And Oblivion was a big fucking game, and it takes a lot of work to get it into Skyrim’s engine and modifying it so that it looks like it fits.

                  I get that, but the Oblivion and Skyrim engines are not compatible with one another. Meaning that every single little event in Oblivion has to be manually reimplemented in Skyrim’s engine.

                  When you’re talking about a game the size of Oblivion, that’s a big fucking task. And they’re relying on volunteers to get this done.

              I certainly did, he made a very eloquent point.

              A great husband he isn’t, but why should that mean you assume everything he says is bs?

              Very closed minded way to live… It’s very possible to agree with someone on one point and still think they’re a pos when it comes to other points.

                  Yes I thought you might say something along those lines, have you ever heard of an analogy…?

                  I know you think you’re making a relevant point, but really you just look like a 10 year old who struggles putting 2 and 2 together.

                  This has nothing to do with skyrim modding, and everything to do with your perception of a group of people who don’t deserve your hate.

                  Let me know when you turn 11 and we can try again :) x

      You know, it’s unhealthy to be so negative all the time. Not saying you should only post positive comments all the time, just keep it in check so Lemmy aren’t full of negative vibe.
