The third entry in Bethesda's series of expansive first-person role-playing games. Arriving on the island of Vvardenfell as a prisoner, the player character is caught up in an ancient prophecy, as well as a power struggle between factions, races, and gods incarnate.
If Bethesda released a complete remake of Morrowind, updated to Skyrim graphics, and more importantly game mechanics (fast travel, weapons mechanics, armour mechanics), but otherwise identical in terms of visual design and story, would you buy it as a full price game? I know some mods have extensively updated Morrowind, but there's only so much you can do, and IMO, Morrowind has not aged well gameplay wise.
Yea. Also they'd need to fix that easy to get disease that reduces your strength to the point you can't move cause you get overburded by the first zombie that touches you in just about the first cave/tomb you go in. At least that happened to me two too many times. :\
About as enthusiastic a response as you could get out of me, given that my only experiences with the series have been the two most recent entries.
Yeah. I didn't even play Oblivion. Truth be told, I'm WAY more interested in the next Fallout game they make. Skyrim is great and all, but I can't make a gun that shoots railway spikes in Skyrim! I couldn't either in Fallout 3, because it made the game crash when I used it, but still!
@Video_Game_King: If someone hasn't already modded dragons into the PC version of Fallout 3, then I am severely disappointed in the internet.
As far as I know, Dead Island doesn't have a mod that lets you play as Hank Hill throwing propane tanks at every zombie bear in sight. There's good reason to be disappointed with the Internet.
Did they remove how customizeable your outfits were? Is armor still divided into more than 4 pieces? Can you wear robes over armor? Is it using Morrowind's outstanding skill and class system? How much has changed exactly? All of these questions need answering before I can say yes.
If it's 99% morrowind but with extremely updated engine and graphics, as well as combat- I'm in. But if it's just Skyrim or Oblivion set in Morrowind with Morrowind visual style and story, you can count me out.
Give me a new Fallout on the Skyrim engine instead!
Isn't the Skyrim engine just the Fallout engine (by which I mean the Oblivion engine) with some new bells and whistles? Metaphorical ones, I mean. Fallout 4 needs a fully new engine!

I don't disagree! But they won't do that. : (
Maybe they will. At this point Fallout 4 would be a next-gen game, so it'd make sense to do a new engine...
No, I'm just fooling myself. We'll be stuck with this engine for years.
I'm just being negative because I played Skyrim on PS3 under the assumption that it was a new engine, and that the game would run well.
I'm playing Morrowind right now, in between Skyrim, and I gotta say I might actually prefer Morrowind. The size, the complexity, the variety. Don't get me wrong, Skyrim is an awesome game, but Morrowind has a lot more weapons, armor, spells, quests. I hope Bethesda stops their reductionist strategy and starts actually adding more stuff in future games. Also, Morrowind has the best story out of all the Elder Scrolls games I've played.
Hell fucking yes I would. Well, I guess I technically have already with Morroblivion, but since Oblivion's such a finicky bastard on Windows 7 I haven't been able to play much of it.

When a Bethesda Softworks developed game runs well on PS3, I've truly seen everything! But yeah, they really wanted us to believe that engine was newer than it actually was. : (
To the original question: where do I sign? Will a blood signature be enough or do you also require a kidney?
There has never been something else like Morrowind in my eyes, the later games do not have the same otherworldly character. I would love to see a modern take on it (next gen, think of the radiant AI you could put into building a living world of characters and NPCs) and the extra coat of paint that even the mods cannot quite do wouldn't be a bad way to bring the great art design of that game to modern machines.
Hell fucking yes I would. Well, I guess I technically have already with Morroblivion, but since Oblivion's such a finicky bastard on Windows 7 I haven't been able to play much of it.
They're porting Morroblivion over to Skyrim. So soon we'll have that.

Yeah, assume that everything but story, setting and visual design is the same as Skyrim.

Yup I would. I'd want the weapon and magic variety of Morrowind as well. And that includes Levitation and other no-no spells they did away with in Oblivion. I'd happily pay the full $60 for such a remake.

Morrowind plays and looks like shit these days... but if you can get past that, there's a wonderful world just waiting for you.
Besides, we have Morroblivion and the Morrowind overhaul mod. Certainly those aren't up to par with what Morrowind could be, but they make it a lot better. I do think that you should give Morrowind more than an hour or two's chance - it really does take longer to get into than most games, and it's not a pleasant experience at first, but it's one that can be greatly enjoyed if you can get a taste for it.

They totally fucking are! Look at this shit!
OK, now people just don't have any reason whatsoever to not play Morrowind.
I love the style in Morrowind, as far as the buildings and creatures all go. So long as that remained intact, perhaps even crazier, then yes, yes, yes.
I have too little time on my hands as it is to be adding old Bethesda games I've already played to my new Bethesda games I'm in the process of playing. So, no.
I find the setting in those games really boring, and I've heard that Morrowinds is much more alien and strange, so I might be interested in that. But I think Fallout's setting is kind of cool and that didn't do it for me. Why can't they just have cool characters instead? Then I might actually enjoy those games.
