That would be cool. I liked the game back when I use to play it. The only concern I'd have is whether Bethesda would look kindly on someone using their franchise without their permission. There are a lot of RP sims that are similar already.

I would just suggest you look into any possible copyright infringements (I think I did hear that Dune sims were shut down or something... meh, I'm too lazy to look into it).

I've spent considerable time in ES:Oblivion and love it, so I know I would certainly enjoy that. One problem that a lot of RP sims run into that cause them to fail is the owner goes into it with expectations about earning money from it. It *can* be done if a lot of things fall into place, but I wouldn't expect it to happen that way.
To avoid any copyright probs, just use similar, but noticibly different names for locations.

The rules are being tightened up over copyright/trademark infringement - so definitely be careful there.

Do not, whatever you do, use textures etc from the actual game of course.
