"Go back and play Morrowind and tell me that's the game you want to play again," says Skyrim lead, who thinks players "will cringe" at a possible remake

Remaking The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind comes with two theoretical problems, according to a former Bethesda Game Studios lead. One is that the company might not even have the original source code anymore. Two is that Bruce Nesmith, Skyrim’s lead designer, thinks people would probably “cringe” playing the 20-year-old RPG.

“The problem with doing Morrowind is that I bet they don’t have the original code,” Nesmith guessed in an interview with Press Box. “The game is so old. I don’t know if the original source code exists anymore. If it does, can you even compile it?”
