    The quote above is from Morrowind, so I’m curious to know when you think he lost his mojo. Like, Daggerfall? I mean, I could agree with that, but it seems like a hot take.

      Only semi-related, but I’m playing through modded-out Daggerfall Unity on my Steam deck and it feels so fresh. It’s the best kind of remaster: it feels like how you remember the game playing, not how it actually did.

        It was always a cool thing, and I’m glad it’s an official cool thing now.

        Honestly, Daggerfall is such a bold, crazy artefact. I bought it at launch, couldn’t believe the back of the box pitch and was shocked to see how much of its bonkers concept does translate into the game. I was hoping the whole procedural planet thing from Starfield would be a bit of a return to that, but from what I read that didn’t quite pan out. I haven’t gotten around to playing it for myself, though.

        Fair enough. Seems like the micromanagement was there both before and after that point, though, so it’s probably not a symptom of that. Although it could be a contributing factor that having more games in developement doesn’t fit that personality type as well, but it’s probably impossible to say without actually working with him directly.
