The Elder Scrolls

Daggerfall's map is ~350000 square km, or ~136000 square miles. Three hundred and fifty THOUSAND. Remember, traversing it takes 70 (SEVENTY) hours on foot. Valheim is like 312 square km, or 120 square miles. That's less than one percent. And apparently some dude spent a mere 4 hours walking across it. Not sure if I'd count NMS either, since if I'm not mistaken this is just relatively tiny planets connected by what's an essentially a fast travel/teleport network, and even the biggest one is apparently "just" 9000 sqm.
Oblivion is at a tiny 41 sq km. If that is causing modern machines to chug/explode, imagine even all of Valheim being simultaneously loaded at once.

Daggerfall's entire map isn't loaded at once, and neither is Oblivion's. That thing ran on computers with 8 MB of RAM. These vast, open-world games don't ever load the whole map at once. They all have some sort of tiling system or other way of loading only the assets around where the player currently is, and streaming in the rest as you move around the world. I'm pretty sure Daggerfall, like No Man's Sky, doesn't even have the world stored at all, it just generates it as you go from fixed RNG seeds.

If they're going to redo something, here's an idea: Arena. No one ever talks about Arena.
Arena gets such a bad reputation and it's all just because the game is old, I don't get it. Arena isn't as bad as people make it out to be, it's more fun to play than zoomers give it credit for. There is absolutely no need for a "remake" or "remaster" because Daggerfall Unity already accomplishes what an Arena "remaster" would do but an Arena "remaster" would be less ambitious.

I don't know what it is about older games and movies that have zoomers so traumatized that they can't watch a movie or play a game more than 3 years old unless it's been remade from the ground up by some modern woke corporations. Just leave the art of the past as it is and make  new games with modern hardware for the love of God.

They can't. They're millennials. They have no life experience, unless you want to see video games about going to school, hanging out, visiting starbucks... Anyone who has done anything more than that is pushed out by the longhouse, because they were off doing stuff rather than getting useless college degrees.
 
20 AC as in roll a 20 plus modifiers to get through the Armor is a lot more intuive than -10AC.

I prefer ascending AC for sure. However, regardless, in TTRPGs, you are presented with complete rules. It is not too hard to figure out what chance a wizard might have to successfully stab an orc in any edition. Even without autismo-tier math, you can eyeball that a wizard won't ever have a high chance to hit. In most computer games, you are presented with an utterly meaningless array of numbers. Moreover, quite a few series change the rules with every iteration, so you don't really know what is "good" or "bad" at the outset or what the scale even means. AD&D, for all its warts, is quite clear that 18 puts you at the top of humanity and gives you defined bonuses to various rolls.

We're in our 40s now. We have families and careers and houses and things like that now.

The dice rolls are calculated by the computer. Morrowind hilariously uses the dice roll system but in real time.

You might. Did you see the 400 pound hamplanets working on the Oblivion Remaster? They don't have families or houses or anything. They have student loans and seething jealousy and hatred of anyone who made better life choices than them.

Sure, but I have no idea what the dice rolls are and how my stats affect them from anything presented in-game (IIRC, I have not touched it in 20 years).
 
I don't understand why anyone wants a remake of daggerfall when daggerfall unity exists. You have mods that improve every aspect of daggerfall.

TeraJK released a third video, he's also pinned his comment about vicente baldieri.
the jeetfield zoom and retarded constant moving really shows the glaring differences.

Todd Howard is an evil genius. He suckered people back into loving Bethesda with pretty graphics (and poor performance).
Ugh. How he's more repulsive than before?
The old age and the thin cheeks are intentional for the vampire race. Wtf is with the remaster.
He looks like a nigger. An albino nigger,

I'm playing the Elsweyr mods for Oblivion right now. Forgot I had an elephant and just saw it walk over everyone in a market. At least no one died. Also forgot the Bosmer-like Khajiit in this mod have the Khajiit voice. Don't start saves you made ages ago back up expecting to remember anything you were doing.

Try doing that after a year or more. I do that kind of shit regularly. Having to go back and figure out what you were doing last. Reading quest lists/journals. Sometimes I have to start a game over again because I can't remember shit about what happened in the beginning.
