Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity lead argues that a modern combat system in Morrowind would be a massive success.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a beautifully chaotic adventure, and the upcoming Divinity game looks set to capture that same wild spirit. It’s no surprise that the minds behind these Larian Studios RPGs have a soft spot for other games that embrace a similar level of unpredictability.

Michael “Cromwelp” Douse, the publishing director, is a prime example of this enthusiasm. He’s openly a fan of what many consider to be Bethesda Game Studios’ most eccentric title: Morrowind. This 2002 classic is fondly remembered for its quirky humor, bizarre landscapes, and unforgettable gameplay that often feels like a fever dream. Personally, I’d love to see it reimagined in the style of an Oblivion Remastered remake.

Douse seems to share this sentiment. In response to a recent comment from Bethesda veteran Bruce Nesmith, who suggested that fans might cringe if they revisited Morrowind despite their nostalgia, Douse argued that there are developers out there who could successfully revamp the beloved title. He believes that such a remake could be a massive hit, stating, “there is a very technically qualified developer out there that would happily remake Morrowind with a modern combat system, and it would sell like fucking hot cakes.”

He even joked about embarking on a quest to find Bethesda’s Bloober, the talented team behind the Silent Hill remakes. If there’s a shining example of a successful remaster, Oblivion Remastered is it. It quickly became the third best-selling game of 2025 after its launch, and a Morrowind remaster could potentially achieve similar, if not greater, success. Morrowind remains one of the most iconic entries in The Elder Scrolls series, alongside the ever-popular Skyrim.

Comments on Douse’s thread reveal a community of hopeful Elder Scrolls fans, with one enthusiastically stating, “hell yeah I would play the shit out of that.” I’m right there with them. Some even argue that a modern combat system isn’t necessary for a remake to be successful. Regardless, I’d be thrilled with any new take on this classic.
