It’s real and I’m extremely hyped!
I just wanted to make this in case others were as hyped about it as I am.
Bethesda is hosting a dedicated showcase tomorrow at 4pm BST/11am ET.
I’m def making a mage first. The spell crafting system in oblivion is insane
This is the 27th of Last Seed. The year of Akatosh 433. These are the closing days of the 3rd Era… and the final hours of my social life…

I sure hope they tune down the scaling on enemy hp and damage. It’s kind of silly that past 15 or 20, you don’t get any stronger, but they do. It makes some builds a lot less viable.
What they ought to do is allow Strength, Agility, and Intelligence, along with all the weapon and armor skills to go past 100. Currently in base Oblivion, most of your stats cannot go above 100. The only way to do that is through enchants, but even then, the only stat I know for sure that can do that is Speed, and it’s just a meme once you have two or three hundred speed.
Looks awesome. They should have done morrowind though. Way better game.

I’ll be on a several hundred hour hiatus. 
Downloading it now. Back in 2006 it got me off all other games for almost a year.

Went home on my lunch break just to start the download
Gonna take me a few hours to do 125gb
Character creation updated for modern audiences.
Anyone complaining about that shouldn’t be playing wow either
I’ve been seeing people post the goofy abominations they made with the character creator. I don’t understand why you’d make such goofy looking characters in an RPG, but to each their own.
OG Oblivion also had a goofy character creation. There’s a Youtuber named “Wilburgur” who did a series with one such character.
Edit: and it’s downright hilarious. People love to meme it 
Yeah, I remember the goofy characters from the original. Oblivion is actually the only TES game I beat - both the main story and the DLC stories. I didn’t get it then, and I still don’t get it now. But, like I said, to each their own.

Modern Morrowind would be almost impossible.
NPCs speak volumes of text, and nowadays everybody expects voice acting. They aren’t going to put several hundred hours of voice-acted text, and they know that nobody is going to want to spend 5 minutes at every NPC listening to the voice acting.
They would have to severely water down the dialogue to fit it into 10-30 second snippets.

Fair point. After all these years I am probably forgetting just how much effort it was to do all that reading. Still, in my dream world they would record it all with proper voice acting. That would be amazing. It’s not an impossible thing. They record a hell of a lot for ESO.
With how people whine about FFXIV’s cutscenes?
lol.
Everybody’d be skipping dialogue like crazy and then looking up where to go/what to do on a wiki.
That’s fine. That’s their loss. The story in morrowind is worthy of people’s attention.
I don’t know, I’ve tried MW a few times, could never get it to run for more than 5 minutes without crashing until OpenMW became a thing, and I got a decent ways in, and I’m probably like halfway through the Blades questline and I didn’t see a whole lot of story. Lots and lots of dialogue of characters asking you to go here, or do that (half of it is explaining just how to get to the place they want you to go) but I didn’t really see much story. I don’t even really know WTF the game is even about other than a few snippets I’ve seen on places like TVTropes, something about a bigbad you’ll eventually meet and only you can kill it and only with a pair of swords or something.
I mean, Oblivion and Skyrim, you KNOW what the story is about right off the bat.
Morrowind just drops you in the world, gives you a slap on the bum and a “have fun” and… that’s it. No real direction other than to meet the Blades guy and even he doesn’t really tell you what’s going on, he just gives you a bunch of menial tasks to do IIRC.
