so why didn't they make a morrowind remaster?

Too complicated for the normgroid masses, Bethesda would have to fully remake the game

Because Oblivion is objectively more popular, even if it is a worse game.

they're waiting for the modders to almost finish it so they can steal all their work

Kirky would unleash his homonculi to kill Todd and his family.

Because if they touched it they'd just ruin it. Imagine Morrowind with voiced NPCs saying 3 lines, quest markers for everything, and no levitation because it “breaks level design.” The charm of Morrowind is in how janky and obtuse it is—it makes you feel like you're actually figuring things out instead of just following a glowing trail. A proper remaster would need effort and respect, two things modern Bethesda lacks.

because Morrowing sucks
95% of potential buyers will immediately refund the game once they try to hit a rat with a stick with Morrowinds "combat" system

I mean, they will. They'll hire some outsourcing shitmill for it like the Oblivion remaster and we won't hear about it until it drops.

Nobody needs one. Just install OpenMW and Intelligent Textures.
Morrowind Remastered would kill the modding scene, which is one of the most active ones in the gaming world.

daggerfall remake would be better

Morrowind doesn't need a face-lift so a remaster would be pointless.
It would have to be rebuilt from the ground up. If you are going to do that may as well just make a new game.

Tldr
Not worth it.

Another consideration.
If you are going to add voice acting the number of wiki articles that have to be read would severely limit voice variety.
Imagine if the voice lines were unskipable as well.

You would have to redo every aspect.

That is a tough one to figure out. We may never know.

even they know that at least one Morrowind fundamentalist would show up with a bombvest to studio location and try to take as many infidels with him as possible.

Too much work required to adapt it to their delusional perception of what modern games need to succeed.
Also 99% of gamers nostalgic about the game are balls deep in the modding scene and would take any new TR-PT map over a remake.

the oblivion remaster is equivalent to a magicka cost skill xp mod, any of the millions of attribute allocation mods, a shield bash mod and a graphics overhaul
why would you want the same for morrowind

having hit chance in anything else than something like an mmo or a turn based game is kinda retarded

Because the modded Morrowind experience is so far beyond what they could make that it's not worth the risk. And I don't mean that in the usual 'oh they're shit and will make slop' kind of way, I mean that there are Morrowind modding projects that started twenty years ago and are still going with regular DLC-sized releases. It's an amount of work no commercial studio can afford, at a price that no publisher can match: zero dollars.

Because we're getting Fallout New Vegas Remaster next.

They dumbed down Oblivion for the remaster and did away with the whole efficient leveling thing which is what filtered most people so they could easily do the same for Morrowind, just change the combat so it's no longer based on dice rolls.
