Skyblivion is a fan made mod that remakes Oblivion in the Skyrim game engine , it's been in development for years but as the Devs are part time
volunteers that's to be understood , such a noble cause deserves patience.
The good news is it looks great but the bad news is a 2025 launch window.
Hopefully they will get it finished, the one I was really wanting though was Skywind.
Out of the two games Morrowind had the better music, worse graphics, terrible by todays standards but by one hell of a ways the better story and plot
line though Oblivion was thanks to a later engine more beautiful but it lost some of the alien familiarity that Morrowind with it's pterosaur cliff
racers and dinosaur like kaguti and it's very strange insect like squid faces nix hound's in a land where you start on a coast with possibly giant
fern like palms then it becomes stranger as you enter the deeper landscape of the volcanic primordial island to find giant mushrooms instead of trees
in many places and even bigger mushrooms with wizard elves living in them, the cantona's of vivec were just as strange as well along with the floating
rock the game labels a moon magically suspended over the city.
Oblivion was the better game due to polish, graphic's and a better engine but those who started playing with the earlier game will say Morrowind was
the better game although it has dated terribly.
And there are those that swear by the even older games such as Arena and Daggerfall, the latter of course being one of the largest single player RPGs
with a player map the size of hundreds of kilometres in game that could take days for the player just to traverse although that has even more terribly
dated.
Still for me while I loved Oblivion back in the day my nostalgia is for Morrowind. tesrskywind.com...
(Well I was really into the game for more than six month's so? - my first RPG and I only got into it by accident after I bought a graphics card it
came free with, I was originally a quake and Duke3d 'Nukem' fan and also a fan of games like IGI then I got into that when it was given away free and
of course there is nothing more dangerous to a youngish man's - as I was back then - free time than a single player computer role playing game as I
then found out, exploring, solving quests, making your own spell's, potions and weapons and then came the Bloodmoon expansion adding werewolves,
wear-bears and a junky drug dealing sweet shop owner living in a candy house on Solstheim - not sure what that character was called).
Still definitely looking forward to Skyblivion and likely we shall never see Skywind even though it would be very nice to actually do so.

Skyrim is like in its 5th edition or so now, right? I mean that's quite the accomplishment in itself, people are still buying it it's quite crazy.
And yes I too just started a new character.
Hello I'm Dolores (because it means pain) the Highelf I think I got a problem....
Oblivion was ok...it was the only elder scrolls game I ever played as a knight with shield and sword. In morrowind and skyrim i usually play as full
mages.
Personally I would be much more excited if someone would remake morrowind with all modern graphics. I believe it was the best out of the 3 games.
