The most important thing to me is to revamp the stupid ass leveling system where you get crappy stat gains if you play the way it seemingly wants you to play.
As far as I understand, this would be a Bluepoint-like approach to a remake: having a new coat of paint rendered in Unreal play out on top and in parallel to the original game engine, which would be the one handling all of the actual game as we already know it.
Are you able to explain more on that? I'm unfamiliar with that process. Would it be correct to characterize this as layering two game engines together?
Because Morrowind was the last game where they actually gave a shit about the writing and main quest. So it'd be too much effort.
That's a big 'doubt' for me fam. If true, that fuckin stupid and a waste of resources, plus a middle finger to the modding scene who worked years on this.
Edit:
Respons from the modding team:
There might be people who wish to play the remakes of Oblivion and Morrowind within its short lifespan.
Or, or this is what skyblivion will be…..
Oblivion was a much more successful game. It is the second-highest selling game in the Elder Scrolls series (if you don't count ESO) and Morrowind doesn't even come close to its numbers.
I think that's exactly the case here. Here's a timestampped video interview to Bluepoint themselves by Digital Foundry regarding this kind of approach when remaking a title that's likely to be way more informative than I could ever possibly be:
I'll eat anything anyone wants if this turns out true
Browse other games. There's plenty to go around if you look.
Huh? This is precisely the type of thing you contract out. Their devs want to make something new, not update something they might have worked on 20 years ago.
I'm coming to terms it's a sign of the times : I'm getting older. These remakes and remasters are for a new audience.
