    Reminder OpenMW is a(n awesome) project with bigger potential than any TES remake. And not a single word about it in this article…

      Skywind is also coming along nicely. But Skyblivion will be done this year!

      Fuck Bethesda oblivion remake, i trust the modding community a lot more.

      Edit: Skywine sounds delicious though.

        Hell, the oblivion remake probably won’t even be playable till the modding community fixes it. As is Bethesda tradition.

          Thats a great point. Imagine the modding community just standing behind skyblivion, refusing to fix the Oblivion Remake lol.

          I guess that might, amongst other things, depends if the Oblivion Remake will have a visual starting point like SKSE or elder scrolls 6

        I can’t wait for Skyblivion. I haven’t been this excited to pay full price for a game since Fable 2.

      OpenMW is effectively a remaster, there’s only so much you can do without redoing the engine and maybe some of the core mechanics for a modern audience which would constitute a true remake.

        OpenMW is literally the recreation of the Gamebryo engine. The goal is to rebuild the engine on modern architecture so you could get the Morrowind experience like it was 20 years ago (with some modern functionality like better draw distance). And you also get the added bonus that some Morrowind mods, like Tamriel Rebuilt are compatible with OpenMW.

        You may want a remake but for anyone wanting the OG Morrowind experience OpenMW is probably the best solution.
