“I’m happy that you can play Morrowind now on an Xbox One, as it’s backwards compatible. Howard also demurred on something that fans are constantly asking for, especially since Skyrim was rereleased on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch: modern remasters of Bethesda’s older games. I thought the Obsidian guys did a fabulous job.” it becomes less likely, but I could never say never. “ now that our company is so big, it’s always better to keep stuff internal.
