You should all be playing the Oblivion remaster now. It's a great remaster of a great game. Zero complaints so far.

 

[Arakhor]

I spent 6.5 hours on Tuesday downloading it on Xbox Game Pass. It's very pretty and all the same Bethesda jank remains, with some new Virtuos jank included (e.g. the Starlight spell simply refuses to work in first person and your character is always shown unarmed in the inventory screen).

 

[Snerk]

Do you remember original Oblivion at launch? Now that was buggy

I've not had any major issues on PS5 so far but yeah probably some minor stuff here and there.

Waiting for a few patches and for some modder to replace the lockpicking minigame with the fallout/skyrim lockpicking minigame
I have a perfectly rational hatred of the oblivion lockpicking interface

 

[Arakhor]

My tired old Celeron 400 could barely even run the game at launch. I was reduced to playing it on the lowest settings and 640x480 resolution!

Nah I'm glad they kept that and the silly persuasion mini game.

Lol yeah I was running it on some pretty crummy hardware too. I didn't mind it that much though.

 

[Arakhor]

Yeah, I've always liked the persuasion mini-game. It's easy to understand, each go lasts only a few seconds, and they've made it even easier to use in the remaster.

 

[Snerk]

I haven't played enough to conclude but they've improved on that awful levelling system haven't they?

 

[Arakhor]

You get 12 "virtues" (i.e. points) to increase up to three attributes each time you level up, regardless of which skills you increased. You also seem to level a lot faster than before.

Some people have reported that the other level-based jank (bandits in glass arnour, levelled loot being worthless a few levels later etc.) is still in place.

 

[Snerk]

Yeah I do hope they improve on that bandits with amazing gear stuff from the original. Pretty much everybody seem to agree it is silly.

In Kvatch I only saw scamps and a few dremora. I really hope oblivion plane enemy types don't scale like they did before.

 

[Akka]

Yeah, no, not going to pay them for keeping the garbage level scaling. Oblivion was only decently playable with a no-scaling mod, and it was a pain to even find a decent one - this just looks like the usual Bethesda cashgrab (like the Skyrim Anniversary version) where there is no actual significant improvement but that people are so happy to line up to pay for.

 

[Arakhor]

Even if you're only interested in the graphics, there's a definite improvement. Besides, if you have Game Pass, it's available for no extra cost.

 

[Snerk]

This is the easiest game purchase for me in a long time. Huge improvement. Looks way better than any Skyrim editions. UI is much better now, that was a right mess on console platforms before. As for level scaling I don't mind it if it's less in your face compared to the original.

 

[Arakhor]

I could do with an Extra Large font size - we're all 20 years older, after all.

Yeah large font should have been small tbh.

The budget PC I got last fall after my old one died couldn't even run FO4.

How heavy it's on the system? can my humble RTX 3050 lift it?

 

[H4run]

Lol yeah I was running it on some pretty crummy hardware too. I didn't mind it that much though.

So, it's not that demanding? now I'm considering to sub on gamepass. hmm

Im on PS5 so i don't know what PC specs is recommended unfortunately.
