Larian Executive Says A Modern-Combat Morrowind Remake Would Be A Hit

The comment revives questions about updating Morrowind’s RNG-driven combat without losing its character.

Overview

  • Larian publishing lead Michael Douse said a remake with a modern combat system "would sell like hot cakes," posting his view on Twitter.
  • Douse argued RNG-driven mechanics do not mesh with first-person action and floated a VATS-style approach as a possible solution.
  • His remarks follow recent comments from former Bethesda designer Bruce Nesmith, who said replaying Morrowind today would make many players "cringe."
  • Fans pushed back across Reddit and comment threads, defending the original’s world and writing while expressing interest in a remaster or remake.
  • Journalists pointed to 2025’s strong Oblivion Remastered sales as evidence of demand, though Bethesda has not announced any Morrowind project.
