… now do it with Morrowind. I dare you. I double dare you!

Morrowind would be a whole different beast to remaster. Not saying I wouldn't enjoy some better graphics and tweaked systems, but it would be a hard sell to most gamers if they only did that.

-no voice acting -outdated gameplay systems -Game map that wasn't designed with unlimited draw distance, fast travel, or even unlimited running in mind.

Honestly at this point it would be better served by a full remake.

Morrowind has plenty of fast travel. In fact, it has better fast-travel than later Elder Scrolls games because it's actually integrated into the gameplay.

Agreed. Super convenient fast travel takes something away from the game. It turns an adventure into a handful of loading screens, which is egregious in Starfield because "travel through space" boiled down to "here's 4 more loading screens every single time you want to do anything."
