I was today years old when I learned of this:

Something fortune can use to taunt us hereafter :P

there's also a similar project called Skywind.

SKYBLIVION!!!12!jed!

Someone should just do a Skyriel at some point (for all Tamriel), but that's probably way, way too ambitious.

Maybe by the time these recreations are out we'll get Skyrim on GOG, who knows.

I personally can't wait for a Skyrim remake of Skyrim (:

None of these are actually playable though are they? There is lots of, let’s do an old game in a new wengine, but they never really get far. Daggerfall unity and openmw are about the only two which are playable throughout.
Would love a consolidated engine to run all the games, but it would be fully tied to creation club.

Tamriel Rebuilt is pretty good. It expands the world pretty far in lore friendly ways.

TR is not even a total conversion, "just" a particularly large and ambitious mod. Morroblivion, Skyblivion and Skywind should rather be compared with OpenMW and Daggerfall Unity, like nightcraw1er.488 said, as these projects try to recreate elder scrolls games in a different engine.

They are trying to build new engines for the games. Skyblivion is porting over existing content as a TC mod. I think that building worlds the size of TR from scratch is not terribly different than recreating existing content in the Skyrim engine.. Skyblivion isn't building a new engine, but adding content to an existing one..

Yeah, it’s a bit half and half. Tamriel rebuilt, overhaul, rebuilt, these are all mods which are built to run in the same engine as the game they are modding, skybivion and such like are moving a game to a different engine. But of course, as with openmw which is an engine reimplementation that can run morrowind with these overhauls. So there is actually three types, mods for the game, mods which move the game to a new engine, and engine reimplements.

It looks nice though to be honest I'm far more of a fan of projects like OpenMW that remove DRM rather than re-add it back in to old games that have already had it removed once...

The project looks impressive, but I'm actually a little tired of the Skyrim formula. I've spent in the game more than 250 hours and I have enough. Recently I tried the standalone mod to Skyrim called Enderal and made myself sure that it's time for a break from the series at least until TES VI is released.

They tried that for every Elder Scrolls since Morrowind. At best, individual provinces have been released in part. See Tamriel Rebuilt/Project Tamriel for Morrowind and Beyond Skyrim, of which only a single part of a single province (Bruma) has been released so far, almost ten years after Skyrim came out. Be aware that those are not remakes of older (or newer) games, but re-imaginings of these provinces at the time of the main games they are based on. Skywind and Skyblivion are completely separate from those, though I imagine they could share some assets. In any case, these projects are all very fascinating, though as you said, far too ambituous for fan projects, at least in their entirety. Releasing parts of provinces at a time at least increases the chances that there are releases at all.

If you think of it as a game (which it is), sure.

But to many Cyrodiil, out of all Tamriel, is a second home. Its golden fields haunt us, its dim blue Ayleid ruins entice us, its forests sing the peace of Akatosh, its snowy mountains speak of forgotten ages and its seas of lost treasure. We rest at its inns and simply forget about quests or leveling up. We're mere citizen, adventurers in lands unlike any other.
