well that should be obvious
because the game and assets are still pretty recent
oblivion is more then a decade old no w
and morrowind is a lost cause
bethesda pretty much say so here http://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-skyrim-is-getting-remastered-instead-of-oblivi/1100-6442394
"Oblivion is 10 years old, so the amount of work for that engine and that tech to bring it and remaster it and do all the things we wanted to do was significant," Hines explained. "It's not impossible, but it was mountainous. It was either like, go make an entire new game or do Skyrim."
so thats an awnser to a question nobody was asking
however there is also word on the mods
and that is more interesting
>>Hines also told us how Skyrim's mod support would work on both PC and consoles.
"The idea is that it's exactly the same way [as Fallout 4]," Hines said. "Skyrim Special Edition on PC is free only if you own Skyrim and all of the DLC... It also has a new creation kit. It doesn't just work with all of the existing mods; they will have to take that mod and run it through the new creation kit and publish it to Bethesda Net. Then that would be available on console."<<
mods work on both pc and the consoles but are strictly governed by bethesda
hmmm
and bethesda no doubt will want to govern it pretty hard and charge for mods as well
and take a cut
yeah im gonna opt out of the remaster (assuming they let me )
