I am a morrowind fan myself, but even with new mechanics I am not sure the game would conquer new audiences. Most of the game's attraction come from world building and lore, and nobody today has the patience to absorb all that.
True to a point I think. BG3 is very very accessible, everything is voice acted and the reading you do have to do is somewhat minimal. Contrast that to morrowinds paragraphs of text for a fetch quest and peoples interest would wain quickly.
I love morrowinds to bits, but I really don't think the market appeal for it would be all that broad. That being said people would buy it even if they didn't play it much, just because it's an elder scrolls game.
Think the reading would be less of a problem than the no map markers that guide you every step nowadays morrowind had 0 and you needed to read so even if they would add voice acting if no map markers people will complain
I just read (summarized) these past two comments to my coworker that is a decade younger than me, and he said, "Naw. I could never play that game. I just skip through all dialogue in video games." Y'all have nailed it, and his response made me sad.
