I do agree with Blazed with most of the things,
But I myself would like to see old games redone, not coz its easier to do, which it is, but coz people who did not play them in the past could play them now, and people who did play them could relive them in much better looking versions.
I myself tried playing some old games, but just could not do it, for example: I am fan of TES series above any else, but I only played it sense Daggerfall, when I tried to play Arena I just could not do it, same goes for old The Dark Eye games, fortunately I myself played all Divinity games, but I am sure that there are some people who only started Divinity with newer games and would like to play old ones also, if they are redone properly.
Still having a good new mod with new and original storyline is also good, and here is one advise how to make a good storyline: Get few guys/girls who are good at FRP(Tabletop Fantasy... whigs with those dices) and are also well read in terms of fantasy literature, let them to their thing and write notes, then use your imagination and modding skills to put that in version which could be played and world which can be enjoyed.
Still making a mod with totally new storyline has its benefits, if you screw up people will just say that it sux and no1 would mind, but if you redo very good old game, and do a shitty job, fans of that game are gonna hate you forever
