I remember playing both Morrowind and Oblivion with like a ton of notes on how exactly to level up my character, not to min/max but to keep the game from scaling the difficulty too much.

I’d rather see a remake of Morrowind over Oblivion, though. I have the game on GOG but I don’t have the time in my life to go through all the mods to make it playable (especially getting the journalling system up to par with modern games).

Skywind is being developed as well.

Morrowind was better than oblivion and Skyrim. Skyrim was good but Morrowind was so well done.

Morrowind had a decent story and great world building but the mechanics were absolute shit.

The absolute shit mechanics had some kernels of gold though. I loved my Fortify Strength 100 Jump 100 spell and my 10 chaingun lightning amulets. Very few games let you do properly weird stuff with magic.

Levitate on up to the top of my Telvanni tower and tell that to my face—oh wait, you can't!

psh all i need is a horse and i will climb anything

Touché, but not even a horse can get you through a hole in the middle of a room's ceiling.

Also, there were other things that were mechanically better about Morrowind, such as its much more interesting/immersive fast travel system.

I tried that once, found it too tedious, and just stopped levelling up instead

There is a group that's remaking Morrowind in Skyrim, but I have absolutely no idea how far along they are https://tesrskywind.com/
