WHY DO THE NEW OBLIVION FACES LOOK SO FUCKING BAD? JESUS CHRIST ITS LIKE THEY SUCKED THE SOUL OUT OF THEM
WHY DO THE NEW OBLIVION FACES LOOK SO FUCKING BAD? JESUS CHRIST ITS LIKE THEY SUCKED THE SOUL OUT OF THEM
It's just a chud who has gotten older.
Like you OP
went from brown eyes and brown complexion to perfect A10s and pale skin
...
lolblivion was the definition of no soul, tardo revisionist
But i trooned out.
right, sure
from Tommy Black to Jack Wiseau
2006
ugly faces
2025
ugly faces
A proper remaster
Both look like shit for different reasons. I've always thought Oblivion was an ugly ass game
But i trooned out.
It's just a chud who has gotten older.
Like you OP
Yes
Wow, you played it in that rez in 06? Impressive.
he so so beautiful before
he was PERFECT
why did bethesda outsource to fucking french jeets and RUIN HIM!?!?!?
Oblivion always looked like horrific trash even next to other games of its time. The remaster looking like horrific shit but with modern fidelity is sovlfvl.
Looks fine to me
1080p existed in 06, retard
the original and remaster are both ugly. honestly it's one of the only good things about this remaster. they leaned into the ugly ass faces instead of making everyone coomer bait.
Funnily enough, that wasn't what I asked.
You know nobody hears your mentally ill shitposts outside of this cesspool and your troon pedo discord?
Millions of people are playing the game and loving it.
youtube.com
take your meds
Maybe go back and see what you asked
morrowtrannies having a melty again
sigh
why did they change his eye color
why can't devs make faithful remakes ffs?
you played it in that rez in 06?
original game has like 8 hair styles
refuse to add more in your remake
somehow sticks out more than the original
one of my first faps was to him back in the mid 2000's. I don't know why but he turned me on so fucking much. Now he looks like a fat ugly piece of shit
Ted Bundy with long hair looking ass
Is this some autistic attempt at a "gotcha!"? That screenshot would still good at 1024x768 regardless.
I don't really understand Morrowind/Skryim troons.
He looks so endearingly ugly in the OG, I would almost say ...cute
I'll stick with modded OG oblivion.
But honestly it's mostly because it has gameplay/level scaling mods that are pretty decent.
AI, same as the Dead Rising and MGS3 remasters
That screenshot would still good at 1024x768 regardless.
Was that supposed to be an answer to the question?
no but I played oblivion in 1600x1200
Nigga turned into Ian Gillan
Wow
Why do people preted the game is perfect now that it has higher fidelity graphics?
guh duh *cock sucking noises*
Were you supposed to be born retarded, or did it come to you later in life?
same. Ill give it a try in a few years maybe
your "question" was some passive aggressive bullshit to begin with you braindead tranny
got any more autistic remarks or is your brain at full capacity right now?
>guh duh *cock sucking noises*
No need to quote your whore of a mother.
it's 7.5% less pixels than 1080p
Wowzers
The ugly mobile looking UI and buglike animations are the bigger problem. Oblivion faces weren't very good looking in the first place, this is more a sidegrade.
Because high fidelity doesn’t mean something looks better.
lol this looks like fucking SHIT
bethesda haters are thoroughly blown the fuck out
Oblivion has always been dogshit.
Bethesda was never good.
Anon Babble is full of casual normalfag underageb&
The most soulful game ever
I forgot to mention that I am trans and I am playing as a cute Dunmer girl in my 6 gorillionth Morrowind playthrough. N'wah!
even the horse looks retarded
G-GUYS, get THIS, there is NO sunsets or colors in the remaster
NO I didn't play it or even look at gameplay besides 4channel faggot screenshots meant to be used as agitprop
NO I'M in the right here
kys
umad?
i miss my cat
I don't get why everyone has to be so fucking ugly, making a handsome character is imposible al Imperial men look like Jim Carrey
why are you gay?
he isn't Prince Charming-maxxing
pathetic.
Because men are perfect and gorgeous and very good at kissing.
Why are you an heteroid?
Breton
Beards in oblivion
Girly hair
Ugh.
Is that Jupiter the Hybrid lmao
These faces all fit within the Oblivion style though? I don't see the issue.
How does Unreal Engine 5 garbage fit with a 2006 style?
Oh you bought a game back in 2006 where everyone was ugly due to shit engine and outdated game. So this $70 2025 is entitled to be just as hideous.
It's $50 bucks, also it's not supposed to be 2006. It's 2025.
Oblivion always is meant to have doughy pudding faced characters within it's world.
Beards in oblivion
my breton always had a beard. or at least a very dark 5 o'clock shadow. was actually disappointed i couldn't make another aragorn knockoff with the options they had available because the long hair options in the remaster are all girly and braided and the beard graphics are still 10 years behind.
It would be almost impossible to make them worse.
Looks like AI tried to trace his face and made him generic.
wasn't able to faithfully recreate him so i just turned him into jesus instead.
He went from Jeff Gordon to Tommy Wiseau and 90's Eddie Vedder if they were fused together
youtube.com
Oblivion always is meant to have doughy pudding faced characters within it's world.
Yet instead of having pudding faces now everyone looks creepy and evil rather than potato looking
Let alone they changed the art design of so much shit. Whatever pathetic BG3 fan got mad Argonians are lizards and not dragons so he changed the design of all argonians should be killed.
ESO(post Morrowind Chapter visual overhaul for races) and Skyrim Argonians are proper lizardpeople
Some look good, he actually looks like human. But some are bad, kjajiits look weird and uncanny, but they did look bad in original Oblivion too.
what is a good scaling mod for someone who never played it before?
the more realistic something is the less engaged your suspension of disbelief is
so the more realistic faces are ironically more uncanny
Also, real problem is how they fucked the lighting and colors of the game, looks too bland.
Zenimax online should had shipped the game with those in first place All Mer had sameface til Summerset.
Point being that now in Oblivion remaster they are dragons and not lizards, they outright have SNOUTS.
I don't know what you mean OP. It went from nigger nose to normal nose
They now look like Dinossaurs off Disney ABC's Show, in fact someone should make Mr. Richfield right now.
We changed the lore at the last minute to appeal to the LOTR movie audience
Like said, the definition of no soul.
They look like real beings I am having conversations with. They even move through my screen with such weight and pace.
dragons can look like lizards
it's fantasy
I'm pretty happy with these. "Ascension" is the main one, but "Balanced Creatures/NPC stats" are basically essential for the mod.
they got the elves, lizards, and cats perfectly right in skyrim and then never again anywhere else
looks like the chicken jokey man
They look like real beings I am having conversations with.
KIll yourself pajeet shill.
They got right in ESO too seeing that the art of that game due to hero engine is more cartoony.
Also what they did to orcs in this game, even if it is to be "accurate" is SHIT.
I just don't get why the remaster's file size needs to be over 30 times larger than the original game.
Anon Babble thread is more chill to talk than the Anon Babble general because of the sharty groomers and obsidiots and morrowtrannies ruining it there
this game is unoptimized with zero compression at all, on top of UE5 being shit.
did they change the leveling and stat system?
og has retarded faces
remaster has retarded faces
I'm not seeing the problem
Im in the same boat as well. I wont deny that vanilla Oblivion has aged like cheese, but original Oblivion+mods is still the definitive way to play it in 2025.
Oblivion has always been a beloved ES game. Oblivion is like visiting your happy retarded cousin who lives with your aunt in the country, whereas remastered, is like visiting your miserable retarded cousin in a gloomy city. Its sad.
Oblivion's relevance on social media is still more tangible than Morrowind and even Skyrim. It has a bad rep because its haters are a few bitter vocal Morrowfags that cant accept it as a game because they havent moved past their walking sim, and Skyrim zoomers who prefer the more polished sequel that features le vikings and le dragons and infinite mods.
Just like Doom 3, Oblivion feels like a ES spin off, and thats alright. The npcs look like lovable oafs (the faces can be improved with mods, but still retain their original countenance so its a win win) and, along with the lively AI script that would have them do some wacky shit, was a match made in heaven.
This is where the Remastered failed. The game looks like a generic U5 slop, and the npcs now look like they are from a WEG.
Plus, their dark, and sunken eyes, while they are more lore accurate, they made them creepy to look at. Only argonians look better. The rest look either okay or worse.
What, you don't like 95% of the games data being stored in one massive 111 GB .ucas file, which also makes patches and updates take fucking forever?
They very clearly pandered to furries when they redesigned argonians. They look absolutely nothing like they are supposed to look.
oblivion always had potato faces
The remaster literally uses uncompressed textures and real time AI for the models and textures being applied.
I really hope that someone Downscales all of it, if it uses .bc7 dds as format then is possible to optimize all of it
Both look like shit you baiting retard
One has soul and the other doesn't. You outed yourself as a retarded zoomer and your opinions don't matter.
If agame NEEDS mods to be Good it isn't a good game
Yes and Anon Babble is seething about it for some reason
It's free on gamepass
Do you even know what the fuck soul means or do you just parrot every buzzword on this board?
my big disappointment is about the lack of hair. we need apachy mods,reeeeee
Game pass is free?
Vampire the Masquerade needs mods in order to work, and its a phenomenal game. You are either too lazy or too retarded to mod
it's still an unfinished janky mess.
It doesnt need mods zoomie
its a phenomenal game
Let's not go too far.
Janky? Yes. Unfinished? Maybe. Mess? Hell no.
VTMB is a great game and probably the best vampire experience in vidya. People who like rpgs and cant be arsed to download the unofficial patch, are missing out
Installing the unofficial patch counts as modding. Otherwise it crashes.
Yeah, I'll go that far. Find me a better vampire experience than VTMB. Bloodyrayne comes next, but its a more limited game with almost the same amounts of jank
Otherwise it crashes
Amazing how i played through several times from cd then
but it's a good game while modded so what's your point?
lol i troll u
I wish they just kept them at least close to the original
Idk, I have the steam version and on win10 it crashes without the unofficial patches. Perhaps you played it on xp? It probably ran better there since it was designed for that OS
Ey! I'LL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL I'LL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL
it's fun how generic and shitty it looks
every time I see a new screenshot I think:
is this a pic of a poorly modded oldblivion?
is this skyblivion?
is this the remaster?
and it takes me seconds to figure it out
Right looks better.
Oblivion has shitty looking npc's, that's like it's trademark design. It's a bit more uncanny now, but I'm not going to pretend the old face looks better.
I understand making him look better, but why completely change his skin tone and eye color?
If they were actually trying, they'd bring back the cool digitigrade morrowind lizards instead of turning them into liggers
oblivion is dripping with soul you swine
Argonians have lacked a consistent appearence throughout the entire series
the mobile ui gives away its the remaster instantly
Well modded Oblivion and Skyrim can have shit UIs too. I genuinely thought that one in particular was just badly modded Oldblivion.
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO RUIN EVERYTHING??
Possible but i dont think the patch adds anything that would effect it (like dlls) and windows has general backwards compatibility
Has anyone tried playing the remaster with old mods and seeing if they would work yet? I assume CK mods would work just fine, and most delevelling mods don't need OBSE as far as i remember, but i wonder how the graphics injection method will handle modded item meshes....
they unironically white washed imperials. They went from brown to generic white guys
They looked like complete festering garbage in Oblivion and Skyrim's the first time they didn't look like genuine shit.
lul fuck off, if you're going to make a soul bait post, at least don't use the potato faces of oblivion, at least do try a little bit, eh?
I hate how Argonians look like D&D Dragonkin rejects in this.
Oblivion argonians looked like snakes, while skyrim ones looked like lizards. It would have been a better idea to use the latter or embrace the snake resemblance in oblivion rather than redesign them into Earl Sn__d Sinclair
I don't get why everyone has to be so fucking ugly
It's Oblivion, anon.
going from severely inbred to mildly inbred
So this is the power of unreal
8bit surface depth
ngmi
cool second life screenshot
i thought they looked good in morrowind with the flared out ears resembling dilophosaurus crests. i also wish they kept khajiit and argonians walking digitigrade/on their toes instead of taking the lazy way out and using the same body model and rigging as humans.
Ascension got ported to the remaster yesterday
nexusmods.com
Remember the Bruma prankster due from 2005? This is them now, feeling old yet?
why the fuck did they give EVERY high elf a scruffy stoner beard? how is anybody that looks like these guys going to look down their noses at anyone else? it wasn't just random generation because the bosmer are almost all clean shaven - someone at bethesda chose to make the most stuck-up and posh race look homeless. can you picture that goofy fucking face poking out from under a thalmor helmet? i couldn't.
Ascension combined with 0.5 leveling speed
nexusmods.com
You level MUCH faster in the remake than the original, which is going to mess with balance even with ascension. Slower leveling will make it play much more like the original.
Every argonian, khajiit and elf race has looked completely different in every single TES game.
Looks like Mevin from Slayers X, lmao
discord mod look
seeing all the praise for this remake makes me feel like im taking crazy pills, it looks insanely bad
Why do every melvin has the asshole haircut?
What did Ulrich mean by this?
why would i play ue5 slop over SOVLFUL classic oblivion?
kek, this happened to me when i rescued the two knights of the thorn from the cheydinhal oblivion gate. they were wearing steel armor when i touched the sigil, but when we loaded out they were both shirtless and staring at me.
the leveling system alone completely deletes OG oblivion for me. i always hated having to micromanage my shit.
you are a poojeet or a slav stuck on a pentium 4
Potion-seller...
I think Ulrichs armor broke because he got beat up too much.
you stupid faggots always complained about the potato faces
Can you still "quick-cast" spells by holding down block? This is important.
The old faces looked stupid. The new faces look stupid in a new and exciting way.
million dollar question
Removed, but base casting speed is buffed.
right on anon lol
omg stfu
argonians don't have fur retard
demake made by SEA
But enough about trannywind.
Fucking CASUALS!
you fail, shill
i have a top of the line pc for AI
i just have good taste and don't want to play india simulator
easily fixable with mods (that make it better than the remake)
What does the painterly world look like? Is it still brushwork or has bethesda fucked that up too?
This.
Real gamers love The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion™ Remastered #Oblivion
Oblivion was an ugly abomination of a shitty game and the remaster is better, and your contrarians can talk shit all you want but what you cannot do is actually play that piece of hot garbage.
Why do they all have these weird nose bridges? Look super ugly and sloppy.
they all look like an HR lady who has to discuss something problematic with you.
new version is an objective improvement in every single conceivable way
retards still cry
This is when I learned some people just want to be miserable no matter what
Jerma
he was a weird fucker in original game
he's still a weird fucker in the remake
I don't see anything wrong.
There's never been a single person named Melvin who hasn't been a total douchebag.
If they were trying to make argonians look like D&D dragonborns, they failed. The argonians look like the migger version of D&D dragonborn. Where dragon born have refined features, oblivion remasterd argonians just look straight up goofy.
Oblivion runs like SHIT on PC, utter shit, modded or unmodded.
it really is jarring how offputting everyone is
baffling design decisions being made
test
Dexter's lab made the melvin haircut known
the original ones looked bad too
Left looks like shit and i never knew what that fucking statue is supposed to look like morrowtranny
AI shit probably. The game was outsourced to SEA studio.
I did knights of the nine yesterday. I took two of the chest armors in the underground room where all the knights meet not knowing thats how they get their armor. So they had leg plates and helmets from the chest but had to go shirtless
FPBP
the actual game so far has been good and (dare i say) faithful to the original. the performance is god awful however. i hope mods come out soon to fix this.
works on my machine
The game was outsourced to SEA studio.
The whole game reeks of cheap outsourcing. UE5 allows you to plop your unoptimized high-res assets directly into the game. Just look at the piss poor lighting. No one optimized that.
the performance is god awful however.
Also a sign of cheap outsourcing.
the actual game so far has been good and (dare i say) faithful to the original.
Internally it's running original Oblivion, so of course it's true to the source. Except they went and injected DEI stuff plus made the game easier.
Literally millions upon millions of people didn't care about the Elder Scrolls until Skyrim. This obsessive "love" for Oblivion is some form of historical revisionism.
i'd rather they pander to furries than troons
too bad they pandered to both.
Oblivion is so bland. Nothing memorable happens there.
it's up there with nu-STALKER "fans" referring to SoC as "Shadow of Chornobyl". i hate this shit so much
to be fair i do have a shitbox
Because the graphics are higher fidelity you idiot
My retarded mind read that as loliblivion
Not really true.
is >picrel modded? Looks great how can I make it look like that.
Don't even think about it
SOVL
referring to SoC as "Shadow of Chornobyl"
This doesn't happen, stop making things up.
Toonami televized a review for Morrowind. When Oblivion came out it was played by everyone with an Xbox 360. Don't try to rewrite history zoomer.
Would
Some of them are alright, some of them make no sense. They ruined Lachance by turning him from a clean shaved psychotic cult leader to a homeless beaner junkie.
I've already pissed 42 hours into this shit
I've been too harsh on oblivion
they highlight in bold the particular racial strengths of every race
Gotta hand it to Todd, he knows how absolutely braindead the average Bethesda consumer really is.
i compulsively post "soulless" and "play GAMMA" every time a STALKER 2 video pops up in my YouTube feed and unfortunately i can confirm it does happen. desu the worst offenders are probably quarantined in reddit
Does goblin war work now?
since you're literally retarded i made a annotated version of the image. if you still can't understand, it's hopeless, go get interned in the retard clinic
Nope. In fact, not only are none of the bugs fixed from the original but UE5 introduced a bunch of new ones.
I think you're just mad that the majority of people do not support RU and you're trying to grasp at straws about a handful of comments that you saw on the internet.
YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!
left is downs syndrome right is jonah hill
has anybody figured out how to make Bryce Dallas Howard in this yet
Right is still better and left i dont know what the fuck it looks like morrowtranny.
Morrowindfags are all upty and raiding every fucking social media out of asspain because of this, and none of them are shilling their tranny written TR update.
RETARD CLINIC ASAP
you are a danger to yourself and others
Oblivion was a pretty damn good looking game for its time. The Remake has a horrible filter on everything and a lot of the design changes are questionable. But what's probably the worst for me is the fact that the game is still completely broken and bug ridden. Of course, Todd doesn't care because the game is marketed to a depressed audience of 30+ year olds who jump from one "Remastered" game from their childhood to the next in the hope they can stave off the looming reality they're aging and withering away. It's pretty sad but hey, that's how modern marketing works I guess.
game breaking bugs are par for the course for a bethesda game but what they did to the art direction is atrocious and beyond the pale. objectively the most well made part of the game completely ruined. funniest thing is that it's literally the same old broken oblivion underneath a brown piss mexico ue5 slop filter. og oblivion with community patches is probably more stable with less bugs than the remaster. lol
The problem is that the game breaking bugs were patched by fans 15 years ago. There's no excuse for them to exist today. But again, the purpose is to make money not deliver a fresh experience. They market the game to 30+ year olds who are depressed and unhappy with life and are constantly buying into nostalgia marketing to stave off the nausea of death and aging.
This places bread and butter is holding controversial, contrarian opinions just for shits and giggles and (You)s. No one with functional eyes thinks left looks better. Just another case of obsessive "REMAKE/REMASTER, BAD!"
Is the head inside the statue on the right?
The changes they made to Lechance are objectively bad.
Left looks more like ruins that have been sitting out for uncountable numbers of years. Right looks like it was built within the last 100 years but simply not maintained.
Nah, not really.
Yeah, really. Lachance looked great in the original. Clean cut, in command, yet completely psychotic. This was the perfect face for the leader of a cult of assassins. In the Remake, he just looks homeless and hispanic. Not threatening at all. I actually laughed out loud when I saw him. He looked like a beaner you'd see in the park on a Sunday afternoon searching trash bins for half finished cigarette butts to smoke.
I don't like some of the voice changes, specifically for the beast races. They all sound so prim now, like they do in eso and shit. It just ain't right hearing the Khajit butt licking joke without the alien exotic voice now
Nah, not really.
And the remaster is even worse, generic library assets imported into UE removing all uniqueness it had.
its the only thing that matters to automatons
you're projecting a fantasy onto a character that had a potato face with no defining features.
Cause that's how oblivion used to look.
Oblivion is super interesting.
Why is anyone defending the remaster? Is it the 3rd worlders that worked on it?
Hmm yes, very interesting indeed.
I think you're ultimately just trying to start an argument on Anon Babble because the game is designed for 30+ year olds trying to stave off the nausea that you're old, no longer a teenager, and need to grow up.
I don't really agree at all. Lachance had a very particular look. Designed to have a very intense, psychopathic gaze, while also being clean cut and collected. The perfect leader for a cult of professional religious assassins. The current Remake version of him as a homeless beaner just doesn't deliver the same impact.
Why do people get so fucking upset over this game, every time and I mean EVERY time I see someone say something slightly negative about the remaster people get immediately defensive
clean cut and collected
He looks like Antonio Banderas
he looks like someone who works at home depot that gets mad when you ask him to do his job.
I actually agree with you, mostly with respect to the patchy beard. Makes him look like a bum to me.
Remasters always have shitty art direction. Not saying Bethesda have ever been masters of their craft but when they worked around certain limitations they put some thought behind it. Remasters always just change things for the sake of it or don't pay attention to important details.
Pfft HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yes, PC gamers were playing at those resolutions.
Nah... not really.
Clean cut,
technically he wasn't clean cut, oblivion just didn't have real beards so they used some kind of shadow as a replacement. the shadow however isn't very visible. the remaster just put an actual beard on all the characters that had this beard shadow which drastically changes their look. they should have given him a stubble at best. I suppose they had an AI do this kind of thing.
Without his hood. He even has the combed back hairstyle. I think the trope of psychopaths being unkempt and dirty is juvenile and not even realistic. Actual psychopaths are usually incredible keen to present themselves as clean cut and are usually incredibly meticulous about their appearance. And the Dark Brotherhood are not your run of the mill cult. They're an incredibly professional and secretive assassin organization.
went from oblivion potato faces to darksouls potato faces
BRAVO BETHESDA
He looks like he has Downs Syndrome. Wow, that's a pretty awful face sculpt.
Dick Hair
It seems all nords in the remake have blue eyes by default.
I like it desu, the races will never be as distinct as they were in Morrowind again, but small details like that help.
This has to be a joke.
classic Oblivion
Haskill is a calm, collected butler that looks like a classy British majordomo a la Alfred
remastered Oblivion
Haskill is a calm, collected butler that looks like a hobo that dumpster dives every night to eat
haskill is also sick of sheo's bullshit and the new appearance reflects that. He looks tired and done with life.
It's true faggot brownoid kike
I know you wouldn't know what real immersive art looks like in the big 2025, you still think we're in 2008 for fucks sake. Kek.
No real difference as far as essence goes retarded kike. Do you know what essence means? Nope. Kek.
Modern audiences are unable to appreciate nuance so everything needs to be dumbed down.
I thought that guy was super hot and charming. I’m glad they upgraded him.
He literally looks the same but more detailed
Oblivion looked like a bag of smashed assholes even at launch in '06. Elder Scrolls in general has always kind of been an ugly franchise that didn't really shine until modders are able to get ahold of it. Even Toonami shit on Morrowind back in the day.
wrinkles and other facial imperfections and age marks = hobo look
I get that in the USA you only get either botox-filled caked in news station anchor-like make-up monstrosities or 600 lbs homunculi, but come on, try looking up what real people look like.
