Yes, Morrowind is best. By far. It's not even close. Morrowind plays like an RPG; Oblivion/Skyrim plays like an action/adventure with RPG elements. It's laughable that there are some people who complain about its combat, talking about swinging the weapon and not hitting anything like you have in the newer games because they don't understand how RPG combat works, they just think "sword visibly hits enemy, should do damage!"
But regarding the Oblivion remaster, I have Oblivion. Have had it since its original release, forever ago. What possible reason do you need to buy a new version of it for? The graphics? Are people seriously that concerned about graphics that they consider a nice looking game from ~20 years ago unacceptable enough to need a new version? Playing it on a shiny new console? The original plays on any laughable potato PC for the most casual browser/email user and runs it just fine.
Waste of time, money, and resources to remaster/remake these old games. Make new games. Good ones, preferably. Maybe that's a spicy opinion, but seriously, I don't get the point.
Also also, even though the gameplay engine itself for NuBlivion is still Gamebryo, the graphics engine is now Unreal Engine 5, famous for taking what would have required a basic, mid-range PC and elevating the requirements to a ultra-high end system because the UE5 engine is so laughably unoptimized and slow. Please use any other engine than UE5, developers.
