One of the trends of the current generation of consoles is remastering old classics, one which Bethesda doesn’t really feel right about despite releasing a Special Edition for its acclaimed RPG Skyrim.

According to Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard, there won’t be other remasters and in particular the developer is not interested in remastering Morrowind nor the original 1997 Fallout.

“I’m happy that you can play Morrowind now on an Xbox One, as it’s backwards compatible. I’m really happy that Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and others are making it easier for people to play [older games] as they were played at the time. I actually prefer that over remasters,” he told The Guardian.

“I’d rather you play Morrowind the way it was … I think the age is part of its identity.”

Further commenting on the work BGS did with Skyrim Special Edition and the requests he often receives from the community, Howard added

“For Skyrim Remastered, we had done some work on it but it was already pretty visually close. But for something like Morrowind, my personal preference is not to remaster it. We [also] get asked a lot to remaster [1997’s] Fallout 1, and I usually say, if you have a PC you can play Fallout the way it was. I think that’s how it should be.

I think streaming technology is definitely coming, and it’s gonna make people’s access to games infinitely easier. You’ve seen it happen to music and movies and I think it’s a great thing.”

Are you ok with Morrowind not being remastered after all, or was it among the things you would’ve enjoyed to come from Bethesda? Let us know in the comments below.
