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.

After Oblivion was released I actually wrote Bethesda and begged them to remake/update Arena and Daggerfall with today's graphics engines and capabilities; but keeping the same storylines. Of course it never happened; but how great would that have been if they had?

I also begged them for one world that we could experience all of Tamriel in. Well, they kind of did that with Elder Scrolls Online. Different storylines because it falls before Arena's storylines begin; but they kept it so close to the look of each of the provinces that the feel is still there. When I first saw Seyda Neen, I actually recognized it without having to see the "You have discovered Seyda Neen." And Vivec City, etc.

But yeah; I started this game at Oblivion and SO wanted to play the earlier games and experience the Lore firsthand - but the graphics and awkward combat made it really hard to go backwards for me beyond Morrowind. I remain totally in love with the storyline and Lore of Arena and Daggerfall; and even Redguard. Just wish I could play it in today's graphics engines. I know graphics and mechanics shouldn't matter; but they really do (to me) when trying to go backwards.
