    IDK, I think a Morrowind show would be very hard to do well because:

    • they’d have to pick a build and alienate a bunch of fans
    • the main story line is decent, but the point (to me) was the journey, and that’s hard to capture on screen
    • the fantastical creatures and weird setting would probably be too expensive

    It would probably be easier to put Skyrim on a screen instead, that world screams Nord paladin build imo.

      Just make it a show about Caius Cossades, or the Schism of the Three Houses or something. Doesn’t have to be exactly about the Nerevarine, though it would be cool. But either way, its certainly possible.

      Fallout seems cheap but literally everything needed to be either a handmade prop or CGd into the scene. It’d be no different than for Morrowind or anything else.

      Make it a prequel and you can avoid most of those issues. Even the expensive setting can be mitigated by padding the episodes with “cheap” cloak and dagger and politics scenes.

        I think it would be cool to have a miniseries that focuses on a different element each episode, but without a central character. So an episode about the dark brotherhood, one about the great houses, one about the blades, etc. Finish it off with two episodes, one a prequel for our hero, and the second the fight with Dagoth Ur. That was you get the different perspectives, but you don’t need to do that journey part.

        IDK, it would be cool but I’m worried they’ll screw it up.
