Daggerfall remake..., There's a rumour going 'round... Options

[McBadgere]

I read today in a small section of the brother's X-Box mag that rumour has it that Bethesda are remaking Daggerfall as their next ES game...

Anyone else think this is likely? And was it a good enough game in the first place to warrant remaking it?...

Oh, and what was it about?...I don't know anything about the early ones... ...

What do you mean "Well go and look then, ya flipping* idjit..."? ...

As much as I love Daggerfall, part of me laments about what it could have been. Then again, I suppose I could say similar for every TES game really, since they always have some cut content that would have made it better. It's pretty impressive what they did manage to get done in such a short, tight development cycle, but it could have been more. Although I suppose that contributes to the charm.

But there's no way Bethesda does an actual, full-fledged remake, as cool as that would be. Daggerfall Unity is likely the closest we will ever get.

But...you can LIVE in Daggerfall in ESO! Save the King; drink at the pub; etc. (fight off werewolves; etc). They did a really nice job of maintaining the look and feel of all the TES Provinces!

Don't get me wrong, I like what I have seen of the Iliac Bay in ESO. But there's just something about the actual game of Daggerfall that is hard, if not impossible, to replicate.

It will never happen, but I'd be indescribably ecstatic if we could have the same plot, setting, some of the mechanics, modern lore elements, and updated graphics of TESII (at least, that is the general basis of what I want). I also want some of the stuff that had to get cut out put back in.
