While I'd absolutely love a Morrowind remaster, I'm fairly sure that the encounters with a certain Dark Elf rogue which (for a female character) went a bit like "I'll let you go for a little a kiss, what's the harm?" and Uncle Crassius (Let's see what we are working with, take off those clothes) will be seen as 'problematic' these days.
Fortunately guides like https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Morrowind_graphics_guide exist so you can make Morrowind look pretty good even today.
The nice thing about morrowind is that because it's mostly text-based, it's so much easier for modded dialogue to blend in with original content (if it's written well).
Hmm, maybe I should try my hand at modding: With the right speech craft/personality stats, you can trick Crassus Curio into kissing a guar.
It's not the graphics it's the clunk
Games have plenty of problematic characters, I doubt this would be an issue. Bg3 was popular.
I answered my own question about why they choose Oblivion over Morrowind in my head last night. It would have taken way more work to bring into the modern age. Oblivion was already pretty close to what Skyrim is, and they even use the same scripting and logic (including bugs that were never officially fixed!) so all the work was just creating the new assets and then taping UE5's graphics engine to GameBryo/Creation.
It also would have required ass loads of money to record every line of dialogue. Remember: Morrowind didn't have a lot of voice acting. It was mostly text-only.

I can imaging maybe writing an interface layer, but given the scale I kinda doubt they'd choose to do this.
IDK I could be wrong, but if we know they used UE5 my bet is the game was rewritten in mostly new C# and blueprint.
Morrowind would be cool too
ES Vi would be better. Not shit we have been able to play for the last 18 years...
I wouldn't be able to stand watching new Bethesda massacre my boy. Leave Morrowind in the past where it belongs.
Morrowind remake with Bloodmoon, Tribunal, and new additions on a map larger than Skyrim, in a self-contained portable VR set that also works as a handheld and PC. I will pay $10k for that if I have to live in a cardboard box.
This is the end for you, s'wit!
But this one has Boromir in it! ...sort of
Remastered always looks like it's spelled wrong
