TES IV: Oblivion Remaster

Anyone playing the Oblivion Remaster?

Mostly want to start this topic since the original was my favorite game and would love to talk about it (or even the extended Elder Scrolls lore).

Edit: Fwiw, I played a few hours, and then spent another couple more designing a new computer (via PCPartpicker) to play on ultra (even though it still looks phenomenal on Medium; despite the fact that I just built my current computer 2 years ago. However, Oblivion is what got me into building computers, so it seems fitting to continue the tradition of upgrading for Oblivion)

This remaster is basically the book on how to do a remaster. You can tell that this was a labor of love. If anything, the devs just wanted to make a better game for themselves and we just happen to also be beneficiaries as a byproduct. It may be a cashgrab, but this was anything but low effort. Not only are visual upgraded, but they enhanced some gameplay as well, such as

  • Enemies react when hit
  • Flora disappears when picked
  • You slow down as you walk up a hill
  • Stamina actually has a slight impact
  • Leveling up (I have not gotten a chance to see if they tweaked level scaling)

We’ll pour one out for ya :beer_mug: :rofl:

My dude, all expansion packs and DLCs are included in the remaster PLUS even more stuff with the deluxe edition (no expansions tho, just cosmetics and, you guessed it, more horse armor).

Be honest, are you really going to be playing those other games?

No, not at all :joy: I have a terrible habit of being really excited for a game. Buying it, downloading it. And realizing I’m too old and have responsibilities

Looks amazing, hope they do morrowind sometime. It’s always been my favorite, even before playing it lol

Honestly, the jank graphics make Morrowind unique, but if they do to MW, what they did to Oblivion? I think it’ll be good

Definitely, atmosphere in both is great too. I should play the shivering isles, never played the dlc

Fwiw, Shivering Isle gives Morrowind. IIRC, the devs heard the complaints that Cyrodiil was a bit lackluster in color (being full on fantasy feel), took that to heart and tried to make Sheo’s Plane as colorful and alien as possible; a complete antithesis to Cyrodiil.

Personally, I’d play Oblivion just to play the Shivering Isle DLC

This is why I stopped buying games and started buying yo-yos lol, easier to bring a yoyo with you to play with for a bit than a whole switch or whatever. Also video games take full concentration where as I can talk and YoYo, or just be chillin with company
