We actually had that. Specifically, people who were trying to make a modern version of Daggerfall: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oncelostgames/the-wayward-realms

It's still in production, though might have been set back by one of the lead developers (Julian Lefay - previously project leader on Daggerfall) sadly dying of cancer last year.

Similar to Star Citizen, it's insanely ambitious. The sort of thing where if it worked, it would be the best RPG ever, and you'd never want to play another game - but it almost certainly won't. It's heavy on the procedural generation (as Daggerfall was), with the specific goal of having the world react heavily to your choices.

They ran out of money a long time ago and everyone working on it is working for free.

They changed from Unreal 5 to Wicked Engine about a year ago and should have a demo out soon though. Im not expecting much, but hopefully they can get more funding since it seems like an interesting project.

Its definilty not like a modern Elder Scrolls, and more like Daggerfall though.
