Missing the Bethesda jank I'm used to

I think this one of the dumbest ideas to ever happen in the history of the industry.

It's been over 10 fucking years since TES V and they are just remaking IV but now with graphics? There's almost 20 years of mods that are guaranteed to be better than this lazy cashgrab trash.
It's a despicable waste of time and resources. Fuck this game.

i am enjoying it

It's decent so far, but I have no doubt it's an obvious cash grab considering how hard shartfield flopped on multiple levels.

Chances are Todd could use the release to push new content to keep Bethesda afloat for a while longer until he gets his next retarded idea.

Yes but braindead sloppers will slurp it up. So is it really a waste of time and resources? It makes them a lot of money.

The problem is the braindead sloppers.

There are a few weird changes but it's mostly alright. The combat feels a lot better.
The new voice actors are really bad, worse than the original. It is extremely poorly optimized. The sprit animation is hilarious.

For some reason my high elf had those disgusting wrinkles around the mouth. Seriously there was like no way to make her pretty.

The sprint animation is so retarded. Overall I'm enjoying the nostalgia. The mouth movements are also a bit over exaggerated too. Still abusing classic beth mechanics to get a no fast travel, master playthrough.

I downloaded it last night but haven't played it yet due to work. I just finished an oblivion playthrough a couple months ago so it'll be interesting to compare with it fresh in my mind.

I'll wait until later this year for Skyblivion and play a superior version for free.

It's cracked already, you can play this for free anyway.

Those devs got clocked hard, the only reason they let them speak was that they look like a classic "nerd", they tried hard to justify all the changes and to prove themselves to be "worthy", it was a weird presentation overall but the game seems fun, I won't play it as I am dirtpoor r/n and I doubt I'll play it ever as I'm kinda tired of the bethesda formula but goos for them I guess

I quickly skimmed through the screenshots in the Steam community hub and it looked alright, no sneaky woke shit. Looks a bit goofy but then again the original looked goofy too. Dunno if they changed any mechanics. Seems they didn't but can't be sure until I try
It would be perfect if it's just graphics and the same gameplay with minor tweaks.

It has body type 1/2 instead of male or female

seems like such a pointless change because the npcs still use gendered dialogue (sir/ma'am)

Someone remind me why I'm supposed to like Oblivion again...

But what's the point when the fan remake improves on the original game? A custom UI, new unique dungeon layouts, and actual mod support.

I remember all the hype with the dev videos leading up to Oblivion. When physics and bloom were the hip new thing (all that SpeedTree foliage stuff was cool tbf).

But it lost the alien charm of Morrowind, especially when Cyrodiil was supposed to be a jungle. It's 90% woodland greenery. Very generic.

I played Skyrim embarrassingly late and fighting is fun, but... there are no classes? You move really fast AND THEN THERE'S A SPRINT BUTTON? All the RPG stuff is gone, every other item is magic. And most of the world is brown, icy mountains.

New Oblivion looks like it has that brown filter. The potato faces were genuinely part of the charm. Original game runs fine on modern PCs so it's not like some old game that genuinely needs tweaks to run at a higher resolution and such.

People seem to like it and there are positive changes to gameplay, melee not being affected by fatigue etc. But a lot of the 'quality of life' stuff moves away from what made the Elder Scrolls games fun in the first place. In Daggerfall you had to strategize travel. In Morrowind you had taxi services. By Oblivion, you could teleport. (But not levitate or anything, obviously that would 'break the game').

I hope it's better than Enderal - gotta finish that one first, cuz 150gigs ain't no joke -__-
