Who knows if the much teased Oblivion remake or remaster is happening, but a glossy makeover risks missing the point. Morrowind, meanwhile, is ripe for it.
I don’t think Morrowind needs a remake. A remake would likely try to smooth over the game’s rough edges, but the rough edges are a big part of what makes the game actually work, imo.
Now, at this point I don’t think I trust Bethesda enough to get an Oblivion remake right, either, but Oblivion was very much held back by technological limitations of the time, and in my opinion it hasn’t aged very well. I can at least see the potential of an Oblivion remake where they don’t have to be concerned about how much they can fit on an Xbox 360 disc.
