      Eh I think Fallout 4 is the only one that would really work with.

      You could have maybe argued for Oblivion, but I think they made the right call in re-making it. (I know Bethesda calls it a “re-master”, but imo when you start re-doing models, NPC behaviors, and voice lines that crosses the threshold into “re-make”).

      I think Fallout 3 would really benefit from the same re-make treatment Oblivion got. Morrowind too.

      Starfield is current gen. Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online are kind of different beasts as live-servics games. The older Elder Scrolls games are so outdated and janky that I think they would either have to completely re-imagine them into functionally new games, or just do a quick port (maybe upscale the resolution and add a few QoL improvements to call it a “re-master”) in a cheap sort of “classics collection”.

      I haven’t played the pre-Bethesda Fallout games, but they do look re-makeable. They’re also nowhere near as popular as the rest of Bethesda’s games so there may not be enough demand for them.

      Of course, if there’s a lot more options for games by other studios and published by Bethesda, but I could spend all day picking through that library and evaluating lol.
