I wonder how this will effect Skyblivion.

Meh. If it’s not massively overhauled I’m not interested. Daggerfall Unity is a perfect example of the level of advancement I would like to see of remakes/remasters. I’m not expecting a Resident Evil remake level of change, but if it’s just a paint job I’m not wasting my money, I can mod these games myself.

I feel like of the 3 “human scaled” elder scrolls (since Arena and Daggerfall are another kind of madness), Oblivion is the one that would need a gameplay loop update the most.

Morrowind and Skyrim have different ways to manage progression and discovery, but Oblivion feels completely broken compared to both.

Kind of why I liked it. I could use some in game exploits to hit level 30, for better equipment scaling and considered that level 1.

Oblivion is fantastic so long as you use any leveled-list mod. That’s a tiny fix. The game plays wonderfully, to this day, so long as you stay level one and maybe bind jump to space.

They’re done remaking skyrim, now they’re going backwards.

As someone who hates “natural” directions (I never once understood where the fuck barton was talking about in FNV) I would have preferred a Morrowind remake with map markers

I don’t know about New Vegas, but the trick with Morrowind is that when the guy tells you, you need to go to a cave west of town, that you then get lost, run into a naked barbarian and help get his clothes back, then you run into a lady who got robbed, but fell in love with the robber, so you help reunite them, and then you’re halfway across the map and have long forgotten that you were supposed to find a cave, but you had a much better time than you could have had in that cave.

Also, the cave might be south of town. It happens. 🙃

And that’s exactly why I dislike map markers generally, because I tend to ignore everything else on the way there. That said, they’re pretty useful if I’m lost but I think I’m close, so having it be an option that’s off by default would be nice.

Morrowind already has map markers. They’re used for MOST quests. There are only a handful that give directions based on landmarks without also marking the objective location. And only one of which I can recall where the directions given are wrong. It does not, however, allow fast traveling between marked points.

I would always “fast travel” to a new spot by orienting myself toward the part of the map the NPC marked and then using a spell to buff my acrobatics skill by 1000 (like the scrolls of Icarian flight found outside Seyda Neen) and just jump there.

Put the buff on your shoes and rename them to “Air Jordans”
