I never did get any of the DLC when I played it on the PS3. Finally I will get to experience the horse armor.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I wouldn't mind a remake, provided they did it correctly.
See, earlier games talked about ~~Tamrie~~l (edit; Cyrodiil), it was described as being a dense, bamboo filled jungle, The empire was described as being sort of like Rome, but with an ancient Chinese bent.
In other words, nothing like the generic European fantasy land that we actually got.
Imagine a claustrophobic jungle where adventure is just on the other side of the tree line. You could stumble on to hidden temples and cozy villages.
Sadly, that would require more than one type of tree texture. Otherwise, it would be a wall of blandness for the entire game, and if you're doing a wall of blandness, you might as well open things up so that the player can see the horizon.
This is why Morrowind sucked me in back in the day. Huge-ass mushrooms everywhere. Weird floating jellyfish and all manner of bizarre creatures from top to bottom. It was so foreign and different, it was amazing.
I played TES Online briefly and the uniqueness of Morrowind was incredibly stark. Every other zone is just standard European fantasy. And that’s fine, but what originally pulled me into the series was the strangeness of Morrowind. It was truly unique.
It’s a bit sad to me that they brought the series way back into the standard fantasy fare.
Yeah, that's probably why I bounced off of Skyrim. I skipped Oblivion, so I came in expecting an interesting environment and it was just standard European fantasy for the most part.
