i was wondering if anyones ever thought about a mod that makes over skyrim using the creation tool kit to use the skyrim engine to remake one of these older games... morrowind in my opinion would probably be the simplest... as you could use models and objects from within that game to rebuild it relatively quickly on a skyrim engine... arena, i dont know, this game mostly took place in the arena... could possibly remake it using components from the oblivion arena.. and i think daggerfall would probably require the most work.. having to replace all the trees, buildings, people, creatures, etc

but i was wondering if anyone was interested on taking on such an ambitious task?

I would think that Bethesda has something in mind. Just wait and see.

It doesn't work this way unfortunately. Models from the previous game wouldn't seamlessly fit into the engine nor would they magically look as good as everything within the engine.

The previous games, in order to be remade, would esseentually need to be completely redeveloped. New models, new textures, new sounds, new everything. Basically a new game. They could probably enhance the way the previous games ran, better graphics and such but in the case of Morrowind countless mods already allow you to accomplish this.

In short, no it wouldn't be possible for a remake within the new engine without a load of work to be done, far out of the range of a handful of modders to complete within a set period of time and for free no less.

There was a project done that basically made Morrowind out of the Oblivion based engine though I'm not entirely sure how it was done or how accurate it was.

Anyway, I'd say this is more a discussion reserved for the General Elder Scrolls Discussion so maybe a mod should move it.

Edit: There is a current project being done that it working to enhance the Daggerfall engine though. http://xlengine.com/?page_id=24

there is a team that have ported morrowind to the Oblivion engine (project morroblivion) and are now porting Morrowind and Oblivion to the Skyrim engine in a very early stage of development (project Skywind), but unfortunately they can't use the Official forums/ nexus/ workshop since they are porting one game to the other and that is illegal officially (and they even have a system that you must have all the original games used in the mod to be able to play it, their work is simple amazing and totally accurate to the original games *-*)
