Damn, so it actually is true, games were better back then

avowed

They should just get obsidian to remaster Jew Vegas

be brainlet Numbers Guy(TM) "yes i'll have the numbers, with a side of numbers please" *wears ribbin with embossed text: I like numbers and i'm proud"* "Call me Stats, Numbers Stats" "I'll take an RPG Martini, Numbers, not well written"

physically incapable of any joy outside of numbers

story world atmosphere ambience world lore all white noise, only sees numbers

why even fucking live

Now that skyblivion doesnt matter, when is skywind coming out? You fags better hurry up, or todd will get you too

Oblivion and Skyrim are straight up more enjoyable as gaming experiences
Everything that pseuds praise Morrowind for was done far better by tabletop RPGs, or their video game adaptations like Bg2. Morrowind was clunky garbage by the time it came out, criticized for not pushing the boundaries of the medium and instead soullessly copying the already archaic DnD formula.

did they fix the level scaling issues at all or will i need to download a mod?

What issues?

it's a larger file size than Star Citizen

As far as i gathered, they lessened it instead of fixing it. You're gonna mod it out yourself if you want it gone completely

If they remake morrowind, you will say "morrowwind is trash, everytbing post areas is garbage."
You are a contrairian just for the sake of it

Based take numbers guy

the concept of 'remake' would never work. morrowind exists why would you play a 'remake' if you can play the real game

The remaster is not 1:1 old Oblivion.

'remastering' oblivion would also never work. first of all its not a studio recording theres no need to master it.
and you can just play the real oblivion instead of youre 'remaster' larp

and you can just play the real oblivion

Locked at 48 fps? No thanks gramps

the game levels all the enemies with you so youll have enemies you fought in the beginning of the game getting high level gear for some reason and making dealing with them a bigger chore than necessary
i forget the exact figure, but eventually the level of enemies hits a hard cap so you can eventually overpower them but it takes a long time
the level scaling basically diminishes leveling if you dont take into account skills and other non-stats based abilities... or something like that

there's a port of the ascension mod already out, remember to get both of the recommended mods too

It was Todd’s smartest move desu. If they remastered Morrowind they would have pissed off either the turbo autist purists or the casual normalfag audience or both. If they remastered Skyrim then it would be seen as a meme and piss off the modding community again. Oblivion was the only correct option if they wanted people to be excited about TES6 again

Kind of. There's still level scaling but the issue of mostly using your major skills leading to inefficient stat leveling is gone.
Difficulty is fucked though, jump from medium (Adept) to hard (Expert) is huge. Fortunately there's a mod if you're on PC

Still waiting for Oscuro's Overhaul or something similar to get ported

Ascension is ported along with Balanced NPC Level Cap and Balanced Unleveled Rewards

QFT

Already using the last two but Ascension being ported is great news. Thanks for the info, anon.

This game rocks I always thought bethesda was shit cause I only tried Skyrim/FO4/Starfield

out of curiosity what turned you off skyrim but made you like oblivion?

What's even more amazing is how fast this shit is gonna go from setting the Internet on fire to "remember that happened?"

youtu.be/_qPsTwPuLwM
Immersion

I've never played Oblivion before and I want to try it, but is the game buggy? I've seen a lot of bugs in clips of people playing it

What the fuck?
This video is a troll, right?

It's buggy, but I don't care. It's fun. Just relaod if you encounter a game breaking bug

anons who played the original oblivion remember 1$ mcChickens on the dollar menu... F o7

Did you say thank you to the Emperor?

It crashes a lot and has a lot of stuttering in the open world, it probably needed another month of patching before release

this game is going to have the staying power of skyrim, people will be talking about it for the next 15 years.
normies will complain the TES6 has been dumbed down compared to the remaster

Picking your own attribute increases is a major improvement even if it doesn't fix everything.

jumped too much? guess you're getting less willpower points

morrowfaggot

Opinion discarded.

I don't know how you can stomach TES games. They're so shallow and the gameplay is fucking abysmal. No amount of mods can fix it.

Oblivion is dull and clunky. It's a boredom simulator with a procedurally generated world full of ugliness everywhere. Your post is right, but it only applies to Skyrim which has an actual world worth exploring.

It has a huge advantage with so many Oblivion mods only needing to be ported over to the new version.

what the hell does persuasion even do

Be honest Anon Babble
I never played oblivion but am itching to play this.
should I just buy it?

lower prices, at high values (95+, I think) guards don't arrest you, npcs defend you if something attacks you in their vicinity

torrents are faster and free.

also to advance some quests you need to have a high affinity with an npc, easier to just give them money though, it levels up so quickly now it's a waste to take speechcraft as a major skill

at high values (95+, I think)

oh when i get people to 50ish it says "disposition maxed" and i cant persuade them anymore, is it capped by speechcraft skill?

I recommend it if you like medieval fantasy in general.
The combat and gameplay is relatively simple. But the world is super cool to explore and offers a lot of freedom.

yeah

bethesda game

buy

never give Todd a stinking cent

when

Its kino. Ignore the rabble

cant wait for Gothic 1 remaster

Skyrim is mechanically superior, and the world design is head and shoulders above Oblivion, agreed. Similarly, Oblivion's quest design is a lot more varied than Skyrim's. They're both very enjoyable experiences but with Skyrim being more of a "make your own fun" game with emphasis on character building and freedom. Whereas Oblivion's gameplay loop consists of layered and branching quests dependent on player choice within those quests.
Skyrim's immersive sandbox vs Oblivion's well made controlled experiences. Both are good, but different. Morrowind is just garbage.

Play the original you faggot.

Oblivion has to be one of the most boring games ever made. The combat is completely useless and the NPCs are just meme machines that can't go 5 seconds without breaking immersion. What the actual fuck is the appeal?

I really enjoyed Skyrim. Will enjoy this going backwards in the line?

Oblivion is better game than Skyrim AND Morrowind for simple reason - Oblivion has basic generic medieval fantasy design as opposed to lolmushrooms and VikingsInSnow.

So the most fondly remembered ES games for those who played, always will be Oblivion - since its the most comfy one and has everything people want from fantasy genre.

But install the "always +5 to attributes at leveling up" mod.

100% nostalgia

everything seems better why are we in this gay evil age of stagnation?

Always that one r*ddit morrowtranny

That's like your opinion man
I personally don't find generic tolkien slop that absolutely eviscerates the lore as intriguing as skyrim or morrowind. And Oblivion was my first on the 360 when I was 9 years old.

Never played the original. Is the game as piss easy as Skyrim?

Far, far easier.

Well duh, you are dirty lowly separatist, of course you woudnt be able to comprehend the shining beakon of Imperial brilliance and greatness. Its your fate to always remain just a second rate slave for Empire.

Shame. I need something to keep me somewhat awake during my night shifts.

It has some really memorable quests. So memorable that I still remember them now, so I don't really have a reason to revisit the game. The gameplay is indeed completely braindead so that's not something to start up the game for, really only the quests like the Gray Fox one or the Brotherhood

The Remaster fixes one of Oblivion's two major flaws, that being the attribute system and how skills tied into it. Now you don't have to worry about out two skills increasing the same attribute, or be concerned about how fast or slow a skill levels, you just take what you want and then dump 12 virtues in the attributes you need freely.

Virtuos and Bethesda are asking for feedback, so there's a very real chance the levelled loot gets unfucked too.

Do they really need any feedback for that garbo? Just make it like skyrim

They don't need Obsidian to do it, they can just get the guys who did this one to do it. After they remaster Fallout 3 of course since that's obviously next

Easiest to remaster with the most minimal effort and cost. Or at least that is what I understood from board meetings.

When is bethesda going to ship their slop with khajiit night-eye being a fucking toggle instead of a dumbass spell

watch a stream of this

he's in Leyawiin

exits the east gate

there's still a land bridge, no river mouth for ships to exit the Niben into Topal Bay

Bethesda had one job (besides the leveling) and they failed.

Oblivion has always been my favorite

try kdc

yes i love having a correlation id and reporting all my data

Is the steam deck performance still lacking or has there been an update?

Skyrim had levelled loot too. Not to the same retarded degree as Oblivion, but it still had it.

I know... You still didn't see bandits running around with ebony armor. Skyrim's level scaling had a stronger bandit chief with a couple more goons and that's it. Hardly comparable, and I haven't even touched non-requiem skyrim in a decade. That level scaling was so subtle it just worked tho oblivions did not.

Impulse-bought it

Turns out I mixed up memories in my head and the gameplay elements that I thought were in Skyrim were also in Oblivon, but...

No directional attacks for some flavor, no dual wielding/casting, no super crazy stealth damage for daggers, nothing, just boring ass barebones-as-it-gets gameplay that is impossible to enjoy

Too late to refund

Todd wins again and I have nothing to play.

stop whining you fucking retard

No directional attacks

were litterally pointless

no dual wielding/casting

you can cast while equiping weapon

no super crazy stealth damage for daggers

x8 damage for daggers present, and with Oblivion magic UNLIKE skyrim, melee assassin is actually working

As far gameplay mechanics, superior magic system makes it way superior to Skyrim. Skyrim is litterally unplayable to me without Ordinator mod too, so dumbed down is skill system.

No directional attacks for some flavor

Nigga didn't even play the game.
Try power attacking while standing still, moving forward, backwards, or strafing.

Was the female emperor guard that gets killed in the begininng also a female in the original or is this some DEI crap??

Rent free

start min maxing and running around

completely forget about how much a pain in the ass the main quest is if you dont do it at a low level

running into daedroths left and right

excessive oblivion gates are opening everywhere

game keeps crashing in open world now

If I spend 4 hours of free time just straight closing oblivion gates will my performance improve?

oblivion has directional attacks, they even get special effects when you level up your weapon skills
