Oblivion without the comically fucked-up levelling system sounds like a blast

If you think Oblivion's was comically fucked up, I have to assume you didn't play Morrowind. Which was basically the same but worse.

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).

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.

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

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/
