TES Games on Previous Engines

There is really no good forum for this so I'm posting it here. (It's really only a suggestion/idea post that doesn't fit under any subforum)

The idea of downgrading a TES game is one I've had for awhile, but I haven't bothered to make a Morroblivion account until today to share the idea.

Basically, what a "downgraded game" would do is to let you play each game on the previous game's engine (or Skyrim on the Morrowind engine). I fully realize this could be a difficult task with having to re-do many meshes in lower rez forms, etc, but would be well worth it in the end. Also, I am aware that certain quests from, per se, Skyrim, could not be done in Oblivion due to different spellcasting types etc, but we could work around them by changing that specific function to something you CAN do to complete the specific quest.

These games on different engines goes along with my other forum post:

Food for thought.

Heheh

It can't be TOO bad since it's an introduction of my idea :P

Morroblivion isn't even

Morroblivion isn't even finished yet. And its doubtful Skyblivion will ever be released. I doubt there will ever be a Daggerim or a Morrowrim.

Daggerim?

I never mentioned Daggerfall. But that IS a good idea.

Honestly, I doubt Morroblivion will ever be "finished". Too many people working on too many different things at once.

Morroblivion has virtually

Morroblivion has virtually everything finished but some miscellaneous bugs (ghostgate being the big one) and Bloodmoon/Tribunal needing work to get finished up. Many of those miscellaneous bugs (including bad object placement and some misc quest stuff, but most crucially some optimization that should reduce crashes) have been fixed for v58.

Work could continue on it the whole rest of this year, but that's only because Skywind work is picking up speed to where it might have a playable main quest before fall.

It can be possible with

It can be possible with OpenMW. If OpenMW could add many of Skyrim's desirable features, then "downgrading" TES4 and TES5 would be automatic unlike Skywind. I would love to explore Skyrim in Morrowind's engine but I guess Shotn would realise that dream sooner. Karthwasten (or however you'd spell it) is planned to be 1.5 or 2 Balmoras :O
