Oblivion - comfy thread for game enjoyers

It's crazy, the UI is a mixture of the good old comfy oblivion UI with random bits of Skyrim's shitty one shoved in

i decided to actually read a couple books and they are indecipherable

I kept running in and out of this dungeon, trying to haul all the Warhammers and Battle Axes to sell them for big gold. On my 3rd round this guy suddenly showed up. Kinda freaked me out but he was nice so I didn't kill him.

CHIM

avoid that rabbit hole at all costs

He that enters Paradise enters his own mother.

Made a Wizard, but I forgot that magic is kind of basic in Oblivion (only touch or elemental bolt spells) so I can't shoot flamethrowers or sustained arc of lightning from my hands like in Skyrim, so I'm thinking of just using a (bound) bow as my main weapon and use touch spells when the enemies get too close.

Imperials are latin people of color

I genuinely pity them for being raised on retard proof moviegames that are completely on rails.

BROS

I WANT TO GO UNGA BUNGA

WHAT RACE / SIGN / STATS FOR A 2H BUILD UNGA BUNGA

For some reason the armors all make your character look like a midget, even a jacked up Nord in full heavy armor looks like some wierd dwarf, not sure why the proportions are so fucked up, it is like everyone's head is 50% too big.

It's amusing watching Oblivion be introduced to a new generation. Although I shant purchase the game that I've already played and modded to death, I will watch from a distance within my tower and twirl my beard in contemplation. Perhaps I will offer a quest to someone today.

I had forgotten how terrible oblivion combat was holy shit.
Now I remember why I never do the arena quests anymore lmao.

Shit dude I hope you didn't save the game afterwards.

CHIM

The main character is the same average height regardless of race, not sure if it's a bug or if they did it on purpose.

sure did. This is like 4 levels ago. Did I miss out on something? I don't wanna kill random people.

did all the lore pretty much start with morrowind? i played a little bit of arena and daggerfall and they seemed very basic. the morrowind comes along with a million books worth of dialogue

Do major skills matter besides initial difficulty? If everything goes to 100, whats the point?

major skills level up faster

I don't think it would even help to kill him. If he spawned it its already too late.

Nobody knows, because nobody ever actually played Arena or Daggerfall

what console shit does to a pc game

Imperials

white

Nah they swarthy as fuuck, also fuck off with your shitty paladin knock off. Battlemage or nothing.

Breton Atronach battlemage. I use alchemy for Magicka restoration.
Orc/Warrior/lots of Strength and Endurance

riveting combat

veilguard syndrome...

started with Redguard, but Morrowind is where Kirkbride could put that stuff to the fore

nobody speaks like this about oblivion. begone shill

aight, next play through then. Thanks.

i noticed sometimes if enemies are lined up very close you can hit both with one arrow glancing them

i just paralyzed 2 ogres in one arrow doing that but also paralyzing enemies randomly crashes my game here and there just like release og oblivion... thanks todd

Did they add new locations? I dont remember places like weatherleah and hackdirt.

It's my 1st playthrough so I just made an old man wizard that also punches shit and occasionally bashes heads with a mace

complexity of Oblivion

Am I being memed on?

no, zoomers are just that retarded

Just a meek Umbra enjoyer, but I've been thinking about making a mage as well

Granted the quest menus and everything are dogshit to navigate and they only made it worse in the demaster.

TOUCHES

I never understood what people saw as complex in Oblivion. It has less things to keep track of than any other elder scrolls game.

Looks like Skyblivion will be the better game.

Nord or Orc

???

I love oblivion, how did the remaster fix the leveling system?

Now instead of fucking about with major and minor skills to max your attribute points you just get 12 you can allocate every level up regardless of the skills you gained

also all skills contribute to a level up but major skills contribute more

this doesn't sound like a fix

played for 3 hours and realized how god damn bad unreal engine is. just play the original guys seriously.

Why did this game even need a remaster? It's a xbox 360 game. morrowind needs a remaster more because its og xbox / dx8

playing a 130gb remake that looks worse than most people's modded oblivion 15 years ago

Kys

Basics of the setting, names, places, people, cultures, God's, were present as early as Daggerfall but historical interactions between groups and the esoterics of the setting were really prominent in Morrowind.

They remastered it because they need young zoomers to become interested in TES6, there are a big chunk of gamers who never even played Skyrim because they were too young and their only experience with Bethesda is Starfield and Fallout 76

morrowind a game that could actually benefit from a remaster

oblivion a game perfect fine to be played today

why does todd hate morrowind so much?

Mfw I realized I missed out on the Master Wizard achievement and will have to do the entire Mages Guild questline over again just to get it

Playing as my Summon Pet, 2H Sword retard mage from ESO. He's only good at Conjuration, mercantile, speechcraft, blade, armorer, athletic and acrobatics

Need my Clanfear so I can call him Skittles.

They can't do Morrowind because of the traversal freedom that game allows for with flight and movement speed buffs through spell crafting. If they let a player move that fast in a graphically overhauled world most Systems would explode, espescially if ported to the Unreal Engine

forgot gif

the UX is actually good, chud

Is there ever a reason to play anything besides a Spell Sword in these games?

Morrowind would take more work, more than half of it is unvoiced and its gameplay would need a complete overhaul.

Thanks for the insight. I think Morrowind would break Unreal Engine too honestly.

Wow it's like you can actually feel the Soul draining out of Bethesda with this one.

playing western slop in 2025

oy very good goy

you're not supposed to spend too much time on these anyway

He's actually gaslighting people there. The loading screens take fucking forever in the remaster even with a ssd. Everything is instant in old oblivion because the game is fucking 4-6gb MAX. my ssd can read 8gb/s.

HELLO IM A LITTLE SKYWIM BABY PWEASE HELP ME THIS GAME IS TOO HARD

Walk by the stables of stingrad for the first time

Random nigger named shameel suddenly gets attacked by the guards for seemingly no reason

Lmao

Shit like this is why you never override savefiles.

I am an atronach mage

Skyrim player thought he could play mage on advanced mode lmao

holy fuck this is the ugliest screen space reflection i have ever seen
how is this acceptable?

They could do it but they'd have to abandon going for the "realistic" graphics they've been pursuing. A much more modest graphical bump, relying more on artistic style instead of letting players see their characters pores would be less taxing but it's not the biggest issue.

Morrowind could also let people go fast because things were static in that game, it's the new physics systems and the NPC scripting which eat shit and die when players try to jump over mountains.

NPC schedules are a nice gimmick but I don't really get the attachment to their physics engine. The only thing they use it for is stacking sandwiches.

Does the game have hardware lumen on console? Digital Foundry hasn't posted a video yet and I need ammunition for online slap fights with sony homos.

please expend effort to motivate my lazy retarded ass

These types of people deserve nothing

unarmed works really well in this remaster

Shameer is a pickpocket.

they can't not have the highest end most demanding graphics because... uh.... because they just can't okay!
why are western developers like this?

UEslop

What are some less than obvious changes you have noticed?
What i've found so far is that breaking an enemies weapon no longer forces them to drop it, and they instead lose the ability to attack you. They can switch to a backup weapon, but if they have none, they will just stand next to you and spam their battle lines. They can't even cast spells anymore when this happens.
They also removed negative fatigue, you can no longer ragdoll npc's for 8 trillion years with weakness to magic stacking and a damage fatigue spell.
DoT spells now count as continuously attacking the target. If you set someone on fire and yield, you will immediately get another fine for assault.

that almost every fucking quest requires you to use the abysmally dogshit persuasion minigame is reminding me why I always hated Oblivion

Never played oblivion for more than 2 hours.
Made a cat, got to chorrol, planning on joining the thieves guild when i find them
What am i in for?

To be fair it's partially normalfags fault. A bunch of people are wired to think it's only acceptable to consume "realistic" media and dismiss everything else as childish. Tons of people would turn their noses up at Elder Scrolls if it adopted a more Stylized look.

Why does the new female Khajiit VO sound like she's got really bad comprehension?

Is this the Skyrim Grandma doing the voices before she croaks?
files.catbox.moe/69huoz.mp4

dragging a stolen item will count as you stealing it every tick, also locks npcs into the animations where they grab it back from you

Why not just.. try random stuff and explore?

It takes like 20 seconds to max out affinity, just pick the smallest wedge if it is on an negative emotion. If it's on a positive, pick the positive one that doesn't have it.

that fucking beard

Go to jail in the imperial city

The new Khajiit are just UGLY

It fits the derpy Shivering Isles cats really well.

You now get all of your arrows back from enemy bodies instead of half or so. kind of lame

You can go to jail anywhere, even the shivering isles.
You can also become friends with a beggar and talk about the gray fox
You can also give no fucks and go straight to Armand at midnight

I haven't seen any of the mage guilds reset their items. They might be safe storage locations now.

AI in general is more stupid than the original. Can't tell if its errors porting the scripting to unreal or they nerfed it on purpose.

Armand won't speak to you about the gray fox unless you get refered to him by a begger. Does matter if you use 100% beguile on him he won't mention a peep about the thieves guild until you got the quest marker

Going battlemage. Is heavy armor/armorer worth it or does it fuck with spells too much? Also should I just cheese armorer with fortify pots?

based Anon Babble kitty

Orc Heavy Armored two-handed blunt user.
Also had Destruction and Restoration as major skills, but I'm level 11 and I've never bought a single spell.

The game is really, really good.
I just wish it didn't stutter.

I have it on both PS5 Pro and PC (i7 11700kf & RTX 4080)
It stutters on both systems even indoors.

I really want to play on deck but it runs like shit. Should I just go back to the original?

Orc Heavy Armored two-handed blunt user.

How the fuck don't you fall asleep in melee combat, it takes forever

founds some mods that helped me go from like 45 on the open world to 70+
nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/79
nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/653
unless you hate framegen in which case tough luck

It barely affects spellcasting. Light armor is for sneaking.

Breton
The Mage sign
Custom class:
Endurance and Luck
- Marksman
- Blades
- Light Armor
- Sneak
- Destruction
- Restoration
- Illusion

Just started though

i already arrowed that one chick to get the umbra armor/sword, just doing a fun adventurer build of slashing and using fire/ice destruction spells, nothing too fancy

In case you didn't know, agility now boosts the damage of shortswords and daggers

How bad is the frame gen? Does it turn it into an unresponsive nightmare?

Juxtopposed

yeah, because that's the person to listen to when it comes to good user interface lmao

now it's more consistent

pffff, hope the pay was good at least

he

Anon, I...

I have DLSS on ultra performance and can't notice it. High framerate makes anything nice.

How the fuck does Series S run this game?

I'm a quirky little wood elf thief with a heart of gold that likes getting into mischief

On one hand, I want to play.
On the other hand, it takes so much fucking space that I feel like I should wait a few weeks, in case there are updates. Or at least wait for the usual fan-patch

grim

Is there any way to create a cute girl? I tried to make a Breton mage but I couldn't get her face unretarded and her skin looked drier than death valley.

knock down minotaur

it starts going insane and flying around at mach speed

take a shot at it to see if i can hit it

i hit it

game crashes

It just works.

i'm a breton thief mage that uses illusion/alteration/mysticism to avoid combat as much as possible

ralph pls go

is weapon / armor durability bugged or something? I don't remember all my shit breaking constantly like this. I can barely get through a few enemies before my shield or weapon or armor breaks.

SSR should be fucking BANNED it never looks good

ya got any skooma?

block one attack

YOUR APPAREL IS BROKEN

sword at 50%

gloves instantly shattered

This text is highly decipherable to an Elder Scrolls lorefag.
Mankar Camoran explains that myths are composed of collective subconscious desires and truths, which are more profound than tangible experiences because they resonate on a deeper, archetypal level. He further elaborates that in the Elder Scrolls universe, creating, altering, or forging myths grants metaphysical power.
Camoran asserts that conventional laws of magic are irrelevant and will eventually fade, stating that the first Tower, Adamanta, was constructed to imprison Lorkhan, the God of Mundus, and to strip the divine spark from his children, the mortals.
He then introduces CHIM, the secret syllable of royalty, which Lorkhan intends for mortals to master, noting that it can reshape reality. As evidence, he insinuates that Tiber Septim used CHIM to transform Cyrodiil from a jungle into a forest.
Camoran proceeds to say that those who enter paradise return to their point of origin, a spiritual state of reality before Mundus was created, because they become immortal, as in the timeless era before creation.
Finally, he urges the reader to follow him, subtly threatening that as punishment he remade his daughter and rewrote her mind through time because she attempted to abandon the Mythic Dawn path.

All first person screen space reflections in first person worl that way. There is a way to avoid it by buffering first person layer separately.

Why the fuck is nobody posting a pic of the spider daedra? do they still have big tits or???

I actually love that about Oblivion, you see other adventurers

Yes she looks identical basically

Paralyze spells still have a chance to ctd the game if you attack the enemy while it's sliding down a slope etc.

Even the ancient jank was remastered.

Sexo

Khajiit women belong to imperial males.

not going Atronoch when you have 10,000 gay elfkynd stones that instantly full restore your mana sitting in your inventory at any given time

I shiggy diggy

thru

one word tells all

All the times I played oblivion I went mage, so this time I decided to play a dick ass thief Argonian.
So far I

Exited the sewers

Got lockpicks

Went to the imperial city market district

stole shop keys from every merchant

stole a bunch of clothes and other stuff

stole the glass of time because why the fuck not

And then I killed some random asshole in Anvill to start the dark brotherhood questline.
That still happens? Holy fuck.
Decent but still janky. Literally like a more stable version of the old oblivion on the xbox 360 if you can believe that.
Unreal 5 is just a hot mess.

I am also a Breton mage, but I use a sword. Well, I say I use a sword, but I'm mostly sending out my summon to deal all the damage because I'm on expert and I can't even out DPS a troll's regen on my own. I'm also heavily abusing poison.

Hello fellow atronach chad. I use those stones up first because they're so heavy.

play beast race

put on robes/suit

hides tail

Don't know why this bothers me so much

I play as a cute dunmer witch. Picking up mushrooms, crafting and selling potions through charms spells, conjuring ghost and zombies... I only do spooky quest lines and never use fast-travel.
Is there any other way to use poison than the arc? I kinda messed up by choosing Charisma instead of Precision as my major skill.

You can poison an axe or sword as well. And there are poisoned apples available in the dark brotherhood quest.

being a melee cuck

Oh no no no. Just blast niggas with magic yo.

We just hit 200k concurrent bros

I'm playing a beloved imperial socialite thats secretly an evil wizard and vampire who when he's not hosting dinner parties with nobles in his stronghold outside of chorrol is spending his time in his secret lair south of leyawiin. he is compelled to help martin septim in order to maintain the current status quo and continue his living his lavish life style

i hope it beats starfield, it would be so funny

...I just realized that, eventually, somebody is going to remake all the dogfucker mods from Loverslab for this shit.

repair items too quickly

game crashes

Soul.

How will this run on my 4060 laptop? Should I pull a Digital Foundry and just cap the framerate?

Turn OFF DLSS. OMG turn it OFF. Even if you have to lower the settings to get stable performance, it will still look better.

Kill a bandit on a hill

They ragdoll and fly 200 miles away

Just like old times.

Same kept happening to me with potions.

Colovians are white aryans. Only Nibenese are swarthy. The difference is a blonde haired blue eyed giga chad from Skingrad and a brown midget from a crack den in Bravil.

no you're being zoomed on

I zebramaxxed, thoughts?

URIEL SEPTIM GET DOWN!!

All male cats look like they are Frosted Flakes mascots in the remaster. Your African Tony is no different

find an elven helm in a chest

fucking finally i can complete my set appear-

night eye on self

and into the trash it goes

He that enters Paradise enters his own mother.

Uh, excuse me?

this is so, so, so fucking bad... holy shit. i am in genuine disbelief they released this. literally everything about it is terrible from the dogshit HUD and UI to the geriatric animation speed to the smoggy brown "bangladeshi slum" shitfart air effects and color filter. looks like they even added some gay slide dodge mechanic - probably killed the acrobatics perk that gave you the dodge flips for that too. epic bro

Try capping your fps to 60.

boomers be like: this gameplay is fire!

Green Emperor Way where tower touches midday sun

it literally looks like Oblivion combat but updated to be more impactful and better animated. Keep crying you baby

ai chims out

Would be this a good custom class?

STR

AGI

light armor

blade

marksman

stealth

lockpick

acrobatics

athletics

it's slow, weak, looks like shit, and you are a retard for liking it

Just do whatever you want, it'll work.

mods to make it less brown?

Where the fuck is the shrine of kynareth? This map fucking sucks dick.

Just Reshade.
Ayleid Reshade is good enough for me.

would be banned from nexus

The mods are so assblasted that the Body Type Selector mod doesn't break their ToS.

looks good, thanks for the reccomenedation anon

they somehow made h2h worse

The one time I wanted to try it. Fucks sake
I installed a mod that doubles the damage and range and it makes it usable. Once I got to level 8 or so everything absolutely bodied me without it

they somehow made h2h worse

How so?

that's a shame, h2h plus conjuration was one of my favorite runs in oblivion

It’s okay. I liked starfield and beat it multiple times but oblivion doesn’t really sit well with me. I’m a few hours in and gonna uninstall.

!

The fucks h2h?

hand to hand
it was not included in skyrim

The NPCs in Oblivion don't feel like people who would live in a medieval world, they feel like people attending a Renaissance fair.

The build of waiting for optimization patches and mods.
I know both likely wont happen.

High Elf Mage, just replace the willpower bonus at class creation for endurance. Using apprentice sign for as much magic as I can without going atronach and loosing regen. I plan use spell absorb gear to offset the weaknesses I'm piling up.

They reduced the fatigue damage with hand to hand and you can't knock people out you can only stagger them now.

It's just called unarmed.
hand 2 hand implies both combatants are unarmed.

Atronach is even more broken now that herbs grow back in less than a day. I'm level 3 and I already have over 100 magicka potions

is it still possible to cheese the arena by climbing up the spikes?

wow i can put strength enchants on my gear to boost my damage

get to 30 hours in

FEATHER CHEST FEATHER SHIELD FEATHER HELM FEATHER GREAVES FEATHER BOOTS FEATHER GLOVES

*You are over encumbered*

MAKE IT STOP

The skill is literally called hand to hand in oblivion. I believe it's unarmed in Skyrim

this must be b8

Yeah I just refreshed my memory. Can't believe todd would do this to me.

youtu.be/oHTE2ziDUoA?si=PqX9oZhJL7MxS7Qt

Man i hate weight limits. All i want to do is hoard everything i find.

adulthood is you realizing that dark elves are actually the white people of tamriel

What spells are you making?

It lets you level up non combat skills while also allowing you to slot in points to things that will help you do damage. It's a lot better than OG.

BETHESDA

Anyone know?

you fucking suck at modding

Its kinda sad theres no way to scale martial melee damage beyond 100 str and 100 blade/hand-to-hand/blunt. Buffing strength beyond 100 increases carry capacity, but damage remains unchanged.
Where as a wizard buffing int or willpower can get tons of bonus magicka or magicka regen
Compared to wizards

The higher tier lore of the gods or whatever insists upon itself and people think it's good because the writer got le high. And the writer himself thinks his style is so good. None of this shit is in the game either besided the books.
It's good that they started cutting him out.
The basic shit of the races and Aedra and Daedra doesn't need all this fart huffing. It stands on its own.

Rather than sprint i made a fortify speed 100 for 3 seconds on self.
Its not intentional, i just keep forgetting sprint is a thing now and I just default to how i would move fast in oldblivion

Don't hire this man

Why can you only summon one thing at a time, i wanna be summoner this game sucks ASS

UGH how do boomers play this, where's the rolling and iframes. We need a combat overhaul yesterday.

You should tag Illusion

Never played 'blivion before

Start on master

Flare does like 1/20th of things HP

Summoned skeleton literally one shots everything

is this supposed to be like this

OUCH(I)E

Start on master

kek

Some npcs randomly sound really muffled.

I think summons scale like enemies.

BRO I'M SO... BRO! BRO I'M SO GOOD I START ALL GAMES ON THE HARDEST DIFFICULTY BRO! BRO I'M LIKE... DIFFICULTY SLIDER ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT BRO! BRO I'M SO HARDCORE

Kek of course you're going to be a criminal

Who are you quoting?

Me.

BRO WHO ARE YOU BROOTING? BRO WE GO HARDEST BROFFICULTY WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THE GAME

BROOO. BROCULES. BROSEF.

I think summons scale like enemies.

summon daedra

tickles a spider bitch and gets one shot

YOU COST ALL MY MANA YOU FUCK AT LEAST BE USEFUL

is luck fixed

me
he's quoting me

still find it funny how the game with the most fucked up faces in the series has the least amount of full helmets.

I miss the bloom. And the ayleid ruins should be blindingly white; the point was to make them pop against the sea of green surrounding them, now they get lost in the grayness.

I've got better.
What a waste of an opportunity for this shit.

I think I know what it's about almost but I'm not a lorefag, there is actual lore to it however.

Has anyone gotten to the dream world or gone into the living painting yet? I hope it's not a carbon copy of the over world but it probably is.
The dream world specifically was even more colorful and pristine.

youtu.be/_qPsTwPuLwM
Great kvatch

Retard

It is entirely readable as I said here.
I can actually in a plain text explain any piece of TES lore or books, if anyone is interested. It's not as difficult as people think, it just has a lot of internal cross references.

Painted world in remaster is actually amazing, it has a painting and canvas shader, so it literally looks like a painting in real time

Conjuration bros, what’s your go-to summon?

build

equip resist fire shoes

drink resist fire potion

leave note by nightstand

It's go time

I noticed that this happens for like a split second sometimes when I load somewhere.

Alchemy 100 is fucking busted, endless moneymaker and potions to make you immortal, all in about 4 hours of gametime without metagaming, what the fuck Todd.

Clannfear for most of the game. They’re pretty squishy, but they’re fast as fuck and run niggers down. Perfect for taking down enemy mages.

I did one arena fighst by climbing the arena wall and having a boar maul the enemy gladiators as they tried to hit me up on the wall.

They specifically go for Redguards?

i made a red orc that specializes in destruction, mysticism and illusion because I saw this guy from some manga I can't remember the name of and thought he looked cool

The GILF content in this game is goddamn ridiculous I tell you

The difficulty settings are so retarded kek. If you tick one up from normal you already deal like 3x less damage and take like 5x more. There is no nuance it's just normal or busted.

And then it also seems to interact weirdly with your summons as they apparently become stronger on higher difficulties.

can only summon one creature

no matter your conjuration level, you're always limited to one

Shitty game.

I saw a mod for that but I didn't bother as I don't want to become someone who just watches.

It runs badly on my pc :(

>WHITE

>IMPERIAL

kek

Just turn on frame gen

Strength

Speed

Combat

Athletics

Acrobatics

Light armor

Security

Sneak

Armorer

Blunt

Bladecucks go fuck yourself

I think daggers and shortswords scale with agility now. So if you’re using those and a bow, strength is really just for carrying shit.

oblivion was created specifically to be retard proof for the 360 dudebros

somehow it's still too complex for the average zoomie

Grim

Aren't imperials just fantasy romans?

the what?

Aren't imperials just fantasy romans?

Since you get perfect levels by default now it's not a big deal. I was using agility weapons but I still had a ton of strength just for carry capacity.

I started with hand to hand but unarmed is still as useless as in the original. I might pivot to a full alchemy poison build now.

Solo leveling.

Hand to hand only gets good when you max it out. It's extremely bad early on.

He thinks he can punch powerful knights, wizards and beasts to death with his bare hands.

Kek!
There is a reason the sword was invented.

picked both blade and blunt as a major skill

WHAT THE FUCK WAS I THINKING

It also pairs nicely with destruction. Damage/drain stamina with a spell and suddenly every punch is staggering them. Really sad they took out KOs, but whatever.

Do major skills even matter?

playing mages without being breton or high elf

For what purpose

oh boy i cant wait to slap shadowmere's ass 17,030 times in a row

They're all GILFs, no woman in this game look younger than 50 including Dar-Ma

*Otherside playing in the background*

This game is really terrible. The combat is bad and the dungeons are boring. I have had about 5 quests bug out in 10 hours of gameplay, why did they not bother to fix these bugs? Im stuck with unbeatable quests in my logs now.
This game looks so soulless and terrible, all the npcs are ugly as sin and they kept voice recording mistakes in the final product. How are there characters using voice lines from multiple VA's with different tones in 2025? It's just jarring hearing npcs sound like completely different people in the same interaction.

B-but actually its soul when games are shit!

If this was a modern SBI game you guys would be tearing it apart

I knew the lock picking would filter people but I didn't think the entire game would filter people's low IQ this bad lmao

They level up faster and your main level progress levels faster by leveling them.

Remastering Oblivion seems like a waste

larping, which is the purpose of every TES game

Holy fuck you people need to go back to cod slop and fuck off.

picked both blade and blunt as a major skill

Madman!

Oh that's what it's from? That sucks, I watched like 3 episodes of the anime and couldn't stay interested and I doubt the manga is any better. The red orcs from it look cool as fuck though

Not true my CoC is a cute 15 year old breton tomboy spellsword that's going to get raped by minotaurs when mods come out.

Even more is filtering low IQ fags holy shit this game keeps on giving

None, cause all the custom spells are bugged and most of the time don't work in first person, seriously, what the fuck

Why did they do it?

Fuck! These threads are making me want to replay Oblivion again, but I wanna finish my current game.
I hate my short attention span!

i went same build with heavy armor, good potion name. I'm gonna use that.

Dafgerfall is full lore and arena wasn't as established yet as it was the first time in this world but still has all the pillars of what they build off later

Difficulty only effect the damage (you) deal and receive. Summons are not (you) so they deal regular damage.

great sword user buffed with utility spells and destruction spells as my side arm weapon. Same as every other elder scrolls game. It’s like being fantasy spec ops commando

Do levels matter?

they replaced rindir from rindir's staffs voice with fucking max goof, absolutely livid

If oblivion is filtering retards then Morrowind would be like astrophysics to them

always play a dickass stealthy mage who sneaks around and uses summons or commands enemies to fight each other

difficulty doesn’t affect me at all

Names of most places were already set in Arena, but the first time the lore, as we know it, got its shape was with the first Pocket Guide to the Empire, which was a manual shipped together with Redguard.
Then another edition got shipped together with Morrowind.
Then it's being retconned progressively as they make games about provinces they described in those.

it has the absolute shittiest aesthetic out of all the elder scrolls where they are either completely retarded over the top fantasyshit or completely bland shit. oblivion always felt like a generic fantasy 101 game which is really jarring coming from morrowind.

theres no reason at all to play bethesda games on hard difficulties

motherfucking feather of strength

youtube.com/watch?v=wKLk7ZozZQ8

And I'm saying that's dumb. Along with the whole difficulty settings being dumb too.

I finally got around to playing this and I find this remake pretty shocking, idk how they managed to make it uglier than the original somehow

Retard picked the hardest magic to learn then complains when he can't use magic lmao I love this shit so much I swear half you niggers don't even read what the game tells you

It gets good right after episode 3 imo, if you don’t mind the premise and animation style I would try and watch at least up through episode 5/6.
I read the manga after because I wanted to know how the story ends and it’s identical in pacing and tone and shit. Story is exactly the same too iirc.

It's how you increase your attributes like strength, intelligence, endurance etc

I like to use Hungers and Flesh Astronachs. Makes me feel special when doing base game content.

Do attributes matters?

Skyrim's hud design sucks. The Oblivion remaster adopting it also sucks (the original's hud wasn't amazing, but was at least intentionally designed to be out of the way). The compass constantly telling you the name of a location a mile away and how many steps you have left is laughable.

Alright I'll check it out, I just wanna see some orcs fuckin shit up. I actually liked the anime style, I guess I don't care too much for the "magical world merges into reality" stories unless it's berserk.

Yes, very.

REDGUARD

CLASS: THIEF

yup its gamin time

2h is a meme, you lose out on the possible shield enchantment

Go back to Skyrim zoomer Nord faggot the lore alone is too high IQ for you. Let alone actual lock picking

i always play an orc unga bunga character first

nerevar was an orc
dragonborn was an orc
the hero of kvatch shall be an orc

not even 10 sentences is an essay

struggling with the atronach sign

when the world is littered with Magicka pools and stones in a subset of dungeon you can’t go five minutes without seeing

The latter is an obstacle for all of like an hour.

Unless they changed it in Remastered, you don’t.
You can have a shield equipped even while wielding a two handed weapon, or no weapon at all. Obviously, you don’t get to use the shield, but you still get the enchantments and it doesn’t affect your spell effectiveness.

Not true, and partially misleading. Almost every TES game after Morrowind added progressively more lore, the issue was that Morrowind was the best at actually putting lore at the forefront.

Turn your brightness up and cast night eye during day, there's your fucking bloom.

adding more lore ≠ better quality. what kind of logic is that, anon?

Why are frenzy spells so dirt cheap?
Why is it legal to cast frenzy on someone?

How is it not true.
Where's my Cyrodilic jungle? Where's my split of Colovian and Nibenese culture?
Where are the gagged nords that don't speak because their voice is too powerful? Where are my flying whales? Where's my Summerset towers made of rainbows and insect wings?

Yes of course they keep adding more things as they have to flesh out provinces for actual ingame content, but doesn't change the fact that they've been retconning PGE stuff constantly.

I miss the bloom

i legit wish horrible excruciatingly painful deaths upon all fucking muttlennials.

It's not been three days and there's already mods.

What a terrible body-shape.

That looks like fucking shit. I'll just wait for the quality models.

coomers are not really known for their sense of style, grace nor artistry as they are braindamaged and perverted beyond belief.

Huh, you are actually right, ok then, 2h is good again

No one is going to listen to you bitch and moan that your too retarded to get into a game from 2006 that we all already played through 100000 times and know is good. Shut the fuck up and go play some other zoomer Minecraft shit so your brain isn't on fire trying to figure out how to play a game that is filtering you.

I did my first character to lvl 12 as stealth archery but decided I didnt do enough mage back when I played oblivion.
It can be a bit annoying when you lvl up too fast and need to rely on poisons before you make money and find the spells to purchase and have good mana regen. But now ive got it and its a blast just zooming around casting weakness to magika and a couple cold touch spells and wrecking everything.

Also picked up the misc items have no weight because managing potions and alchemy stuff is just 0 fun. You still gotta go back and sell loot when its the good stuff like weapons and armor.

Contracted vampirism when sleeping in Volcanaros bed in Bruma mages guild hall, I think it was him. Played for 2 levels like that but ended up loading and saying fuck that. Shit doesnt let you fast travel cause you take Sun damage, and then I fed on someone and it soft locked me out of mages quest which i need to reverse the vampirism because they caught me.

Now im lvl 16 or 17 on the mage and just started Sheogorath shrine. I forget if you gotta do his shrine to get into the DLC but I think im going there next to shivering isles cause I vaguely recall it being fun and well written

Really would benefit from a skyui type inventory mod

all alchemy devices, potions, poisons, and ingredients on a single tab with no type sort

Filled soul gems don't stack

No type or slot sorting in weapons or armor

Also

no unarmored glove slot besides the wrist shackles

well why did they give all the animals detailed assholes?

Equal quality, as I said the issue is that the divide between the writing team and execution team became too wide.
Think of half of the lore people love today, Song of Pelinal, commentaries on mysterium Xarxes, from the many headed Talos, Thu'um, Thalmor etc. all of these things were written by Kurt Kuhlmann or even sometimes by Kirkbride through commissions so it's the same writing team, the lore quality didn't degrade and a lot of what you yourself probably like came after Morrowind. The difference is that Morrowind was the best at actually having lore be part of it's forefront, story and art direction.

Reminder
Boomers>zoomers

Oblivion Arena experience.

bruh is this what boomer games were like last century LMFAO Avowed mogs this slop fr

Vampirism really sucks in oblivion. I pretty much consider the save bricked if i get it.

There's just no way

I tried Xess on a whim and it doesn't run any better than DLSS or FSR but it got rid of most of the ghosting so that's nice.

No one fucking asked you and your shouting common knowledge like your saying anything. Skyrim compared to oblivion sucks more overall. Oblivion sucks compared to Morrowind, but both Morrowind and oblivion are both better then Skyrim. Go play something else if the fucking menu is filtering you that hard

Where's my Cyrodilic jungle? Where's my split of Colovian and Nibenese culture?

Fully true. But think of mythic dawn commentaries, think of Jyggalag and demonstrated mantling.
The lore in itself is fine today, it was always fine since the first pocket guide. The problem is that the executive quest designers like Emil are retarded and don't know how to translate lore into actual in-game content in a bit disappointing manner.

What's the most broken build? I just want to cheese through it until I git gud

I think i still prefer the old oblivion.

How do I go there?

Nigga doesn't even know what the warp in the west is and why cyrodil isn't even a jungle anymore. Lmao get your chim up chud

That's just the horse's inventory storage.

See

Retard

Is there any reason to take Willpower over Intelligence as one of your two major attributes now that skills are no longer governed by attributes?

I discovered poisons of drain fatigue are quite good vs melee fighters. They often fall down, sort of like a mini paralysis when they run out of stamina and then just dont swing as often.

I can understand the jungle thing, but the fact that there's barely any trace of distinct Colovia/Nibenay culture intermingling in Oblivion other than books and loading screen texts is a huge disappointment for me.

A (poorly) justified retcon is still a retcon, nevermind the fact that that's only one of many things.

I'm a Daedroth nigga

Walk you retard

Don't blame me, blame society

No one fucking asked you

And? I don't need permission to speak unlike whatever slave race you belong to.

both Morrowind and oblivion are both better then Skyrim

Yeah, that was kind of my whole point you mongoloid. The remaster adopting an aspect that helped make Skyrim worse is stupid.

The greybeards are those gagged tongues. Jungles are gay and ugly. Summerset was retconned with heartland high elf architecture in oblivion.

Your honor, can you PROVE I frenzied that old lady?

Willpower gives faster mana regen. As a mage you need both int and willpower for that I think.

Lol your mad that lore changes over time? Don't look into dragon breaks your brain might melt.

khajiit

archer

thief no doubt too

It is retarded I agree, but the main issue is the people executing the lore. As retarded as it is nibenese and colovians didn't get retconed.

Nice comeback nwah, low IQ hoomdinger over here lmao

Immunity to paralysis is pretty sick.
I usually take it because I autistically like thinking my character will go on living indefinitely

Playing on the highest difficulty I take it? Because if you're on normal I assume everyone is a pushover.

mfw I requested a refund after 30 minutes and am now thinking I want to actually play the game instead of thinking the UE5/woke shit ruined it

Why yes, I am a Khajiit Archer Thief, how could you tell?

Nibenese and Colovian lore didn't change, the sad part about it is that they just didn't execute it well.
The way we know that is because suddenly in ESO now Colovian and Nibenese difference is very pronounced.

Just play the original instead with the Through the Valleys modlist.

you can climb that mountain

Just cast charm on the judge.

The fleas and smell of moon sugar.

There are no roads that lead to it.

Trolls only have 2 eyes now

Just do a stealth archer build if you can stealth archer in Skyrim you can in Oblivion and if it's still too hard, turn down the difficulty level, nobody cares anon.

Never played Oblivion before this because zoomer but I can definitely see why people were mad about Skyrim being dumbed down. Also fucked up the level scaling too early by power leveling Security Alchemy and Mercantile kek

See that mountain?? YOU CAN CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN.

Is it "Stop right there, criminals cum" or "Stop right there, criminal's cum"? I can't read

have 30 spells I want to use and want to level up mysticism and illusion

want to quickslot 8 to repair hammer

can only hotbar keys 1-7 for spell with no alt or ctrl modifier or next/prev hotbar

gave up that easily

Disappointing.

Khajits need skooma to live. If you dont drink 1 skooma a day, you stop growing fur

if you get staggered while on no stamina you just get about a third of it back
same goes for enemies

Can you PROVE I didn’t charm the judge? And his wife
And their barely legal daughter

They really just look like gorillas now.

"woke" boogeyman lives rent free in your head so badly you're willing to refund a game that you know you will enjoy

just play it you fucking moron

forgot about the scaling in the kvatch quest line

have done all of four quests and sucked around in some caves

level 12 at the start

atronachs, and daedroth out the ass every where

We’re in the thick of it now boys

read book about skyrim in oblivion

the nords have battle warriors called the tongues

they cut out the tongues of their enemies or maybe themselves or something

when they storm into battle like the tip of a spear the tongues shout and blast down gates. The army then pours in and hacks everyone to death with battle axes

the further north you go, the more wild the men are, they need no buildings or dwellings they just exist out in the snow

No mention of dragonborn fus ro dahs. And a culture and lore we never really saw due to technical constraints.

Alchemy is extremely powerful though. Poisons will carry you through everything that isn't immune.

wrong
40 to 100 strength is about a 30% increase in damage
same goes for agility
you more than triple your damage by going from 25 to 100 of your weapon skill
intelligence only increases your magicka by a third by going from 50 to 100 assuming you picked at least a breton and a mage sign
personality and luck suck

just fucking pirate it you reactionary tard nigger

So does your mother.

Im a casual and dont care about breaking the game but can you just refuse to lvl up by resting and get your skills all upped to be godlike?

yes, you'll never be more relatively powerful compared to the world than by staying at a low level forever
you'll miss out on a few level dependent quests like the daedric ones and the enemies will never be replaced by stronger variants while you keep getting stronger

Crazy how illusion goes from the most useless skill to the most ridiculously busted shit in any ES game.

Why does the remake look insanely ugly and why are people pretending it looks better.
The insane fog makes it literally like the streets of india. It's basically a pajeetmake.

You were expecting the book to be absolute truth instead of just anti-nord propaganda.

Sure but theres also other lore that states that there are schools in Skyrim that touch the ways of the tongue but it's all just a big scam. I do miss that nords aren't 100% resistant to all ice damage and 50% resistant to lighting

Well then enjoy casting Beast of Burden spells constantly to carry all that loot, faggot.

Rate my dude

its actually le good for the games to be more lame and not utilize cool and interesting concepts, actually!!!!!!! todd please let me suck your penis please pee in my mough also!!!!!!

build

I don't know man, I'm just using a katana that some dudes gave me and doing some magic, is that a build?
Call it magic weeb or some shit

Because you can remove it with a console command

man oblivion must have the absolute shittiest fucking armor in any fantasy game

I miss how in Skyrim when you enter a city for the first time there's some scripted npc interactions that make the cities feel like shit actually happens in them. Npcs in oblivion just have the same generic "have you heard of the high elves" type dialogue between each other. Oblivion cities look better but feel less alive. I also miss all of the guard dialogue from Skyrim. Skyrim is worse in many ways, but those details make it more immersive and desirable for roleplaying (what little roleplaying is possible in a bethesda game).

Read Five Songs of King Wulfharth and Sermon 9 from Vivec. Based on this and corroborated with Red Templar lore from Morrowind where drinking blood of Tiber Septim allowed to improve your ability to shout is the reason why Kurt Kuhlmann and Michael Kirkbride came up with Thu'um as it is in Skyrim, which was the best way to tie all of old lore together and make dragons more interesting on top of that.

How do I check my hand to hand damage? In og oblivion it shows you on the skill stat page but it not there in the remake

He's wearing a stupid mismatched helmet. The actual elven helmet looks good.

They mentioned the Dragonborn in Oblivion El retardo

are you american by chance, reading-comprehensionlet?

This remaster made me realize how much better the original is.

Instant loading between cells

No frametime stutter

So much fps the input lag is null

Actual working HDR none of this Lumen shit

No forced mouse acceleration

Old school havok physics engine none of this stiff as hell modern unreal physics

MSAA by default no TAA blur/ghosting

and this was on a PC with 1/10th the system requirements of the remaster.

The UI and info screens are a downgrade from regular oblivion.

No mention of dragonborn fus ro dahs. And a culture and lore we never really saw due to technical constraints.

not gonna play without ascension or av latta simple as

>Instant loading between cells

This is how I know you're a zoomer that wasn't even alive when the game came out.

It's really funny that Atronach is actually supposed to be for warrior type builds because they rarely need to cast spells so the no mana regen isn't that much of a downside, but the 50% chance to absorb spell damage is huge for tanking purposes.

The combat looks like arse but its crazy how good the environmental visuals are. They spent all this effort making the whole game again, they could've just made a new game.

This is how I know you never played on PC

Instant loading between cells

No frametime stutter

So much fps the input lag is null

completely untrue, zoomer. you were not there.

Not even the worst in the series lol

I absolutely hate how the remaster looks like Avowed

atronach is for spellswords hybrid type characters

Make a custom spell that raises your armorer skill to 100 for 1 second, then quickly open your menu and enjoy having an unbreakable repair hammer.

daead

cirric

Nah don't try to use your retarded on me just because you couldn't understand the insult

Can I play a human warrior with sword and shield? Love that shit

Daggerfall is where the world was truly built and refined, Adventures Redguard was where the good lore writers came in and Morrowind was where the lore peaked

Nah the scripted bs makes it seem more robotic and you can call everything after playing more then once, oblivion is an actual living world where random shit happens

yeah thats true the daedric armor in particular in skyrim is fucking atrocious and is actually quite decent in oblivion. in general i find skyrims sets to be better than oblivions, though. morrowind mogs hard and actually has an aesthetic cohesion and lore purpose rather than the random edgelord diablo 3 type set of skyrim.

no

Half to summon scamps for 50 levels before I get fire wife

The tongue shit is still canon but there's new lore about the way of the voice. They can still blast gates down like Ulfric did in Markarth. The living in snow shit reads like Caesar shit talking Britons and I guarantee that's what it's supposed to be.

Technically no.

I remember killing these dudes for their armor

but then I can't track my hours and let my friends list know I'm playing it :^) unironically a factor in my game playing. I also have an excess of steam cash to use from selling cs skins

Test

Atronach

I'm doing this too, except I'm well prepared with focus on Alchemy, Wells, Ayleid ruins, just to start.
It's a cerebral playstyle, not for babby

I don't think it has to be an either or. I wish for a mix of both.

you are legit a gay fucking faggot. these """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""friends""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" that you friended after playing garrys mod with them twice in 2011 are not going to give a fucking shit, anon. wake up.

Yes there is, east from Bruma, don’t be a retard please

do the tutorial and the baby ruins right outside

character level 4

blade skill 24 (minor skill, not specialized)

Let me get that mod real quick. What do you guys think, 50% skill gains?

I'm his friend and I give a shit

lil bro doesn't have real life friends on his steam list

nmp (not my problem)

Half of that greentext is just anti-nord propaganda.

Anyone spent some time with the ascension mod yet? nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/706

Some of the posts seem like it might not have very much hp scaling, but it's also supposed to favor armor rating over hp.

Blade
Block
Alchemy
Heavy Armor
Destruction
Illusion
Restoration

basically playing him like a mage assassin. Illusion for chameleon/charms. Destruction for hard hitting magic damage and weaknesses. Restoration to pump my stats. Alchemy for poisons/money. Blade for dagger for those sweet sweet 8x backstabs

I've picked Nord because I wanted to smash things and nothing else.
Immediately ended up being a sneaky thief + mage though. For quest and guild reasons. I do not respecc. I do not change my signs or whatever if that's even possible. I will continue playing as a missskilled Nord and you can't stop me.
Oh yeah, does the game crash for you guys a lot as well?

based STRIPED enjoyer

Someone told me that Oblivion is "meant" to be played as a spellsword. I usually play pure barbs or thieves unless the game has significantly more effort put into other playstyles. Is it true that about being a melee spellcaster?

Finally unlocked spell crafting, Magic went from 2/10 to 11/10. Killing things in 2-3 casts at most feels good.

Combined with 100 alchemy health pot i'm invincible but i don't mind

No it's not true, you do whatever you want

i forgot how much of a pain in the ass that dungeon was for the last quest of the thieves guild. my memory of that quest was it being a little dicking around in the sewers and then mostly sneaking in the tower, but its the opposite in actuality, i spent like 30 minutes in the sewer/temple dungeon and maybe 5 in the tower

This game runs like shit for me.

3060

7600X3D

32GB

Any decent mods for GPUlets like me?

There's no reason to not throw some magic spells to your playstyle, no matter what it is.

it just spices things up a bit, oblivion's melee combat can feel incredibly dull and unsatisfying on it's own, magic helps keep things more interesting

Based STRchad

magic can be used to devastating effect seeing as just pure weapon damage without enchants or magic boosting tops out at maybe 150 ish per hit on a character built for it.
not to say it cannot be done, but just don't expect to clear master difficulty without relying on the arcane arts in some capacity

is spell crafting in the university?

So wait, why the fuck did everyone suddenly forget about elder scrolls 6 and are psyched about a remaster of a game thats been re-released 6 times already?

University or Frostcrag Spire behind a ~2.5k gold upgrade

Magic in Oblivion and Morrowind let you simply rewrite the rules of reality. Want to buy low and sell high? Cast charm on a merchant. Want to open a locked door? Simply tell the lock to pick itself. Want to fast travel without sitting in a loading screen? Buff yourself with 5 fortify acrobatics spells in a row. Regret making a spellcasting character? Fortify strength and blunt then mash everything to death.
If you have a problem, magic has a solution.

Because Elder Scrolls 6 won't be good, so who cares. I don't want to play as a black pirate with procedurally generated quests and base building

This shit looks good.
