Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread) (lemm.ee)

I've been playing a lot of Oblivion Remastered and was hoping on starting a discussion thread about it.

I've put in around 12 hours so far and it's everything I wanted from a remake. Aside from the gorgeous graphics overhaul, they added a lot of more subtle QoL changes that really add up. Having a sprint button is great, and the reworked leveling system is way better than how it used to be. Combat has also been enhanced in lots of subtle ways like significantly better animations and better impact when hitting enemies.

The remaster is very impressive, when news got leaked that this was in development I expected a low effort re-release with a higher resolution, but they managed to make it play like a modern title. The lighting is crazy good and the open world can look breathtaking at times. They also managed to keep all the old Oblivion charm by not messing around with things people loved - the game under the hood still works the same, glitches and hilarious NPCs are still intact. They even kept some goofs from the original.

The only two issues right now for me are:

  • Open world performance is just not good. It hovers around 50FPS on my 3060 Ti in the open world on medium settings, which is rough.

  • Difficulty settings are wack. Normal is too easy and hard is way too hard. The slider literally goes from 1x/1x damage taken/damage dealt to 3x/0.6! No idea why we can't get something in the middle, but luckily there's already a mod that fixes it (I'm now using 2x/0.75 which is the sweet spot).

If those get fixed, it's basically a perfect remaster. Anyone else here playing right now? How are you enjoying it?

Well, this is a discussion thread, and I found some shit I need to discuss, although not with the game itself directly, but with "fans" and other G*mers:

This chucklefuck is actually getting some attention and people agree with them. The human race is fucked if the average person thinks like this on a daily basis. I'm not sure what's worse; the out in the open bigotr, or the fact that they're apparently okay with the current administration turning the government a completely fascist regime, or let alone they think this administration is "too soft" on perceived entertainment slights.

Like why does reality have to be so shit?

All this text and I still don't know what he's complaining about

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm very confused. Maybe his favourite mod got banned or something?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Maybe it was something like a word-swap mod to change "type 1/type 2" to "male/female" that got banned?

No clue. /s

ETA: which, I saw a couple posts in the steam discussions "celebrating" that Nexus put that mod back up. Like how fucking childish do you have to be to actually go out of your way to make a post like that? Saying shit like "I bet all the people who complained about it in the first place are CRYING right now!" It's literally changing some words in a menu of a fucking video game

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

People like that are incredibly shallow. I'm probably going to get shit for this, but it also exists on both sides.

Example; Kingdom Come Deliverence 2:

Before the game's launch it was getting pasted by certain people for "repeating the same mistakes as the first one" in regards to diversity.

Then it turned out the game has one gay romance option, and I think one briefly encountered North African merchant. Now it's getting pasted by other types of people for being "woke."

Goes to show that such loud-mouths get greatly effected by the smallest kinds of tokenism. So if course just changing the text in a menu is going to be such a big deal!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

That sounds like paranoid schizophrenia

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ok but I did lol at pulling of a complete submersion. Also, it's a little funny that they seem to know at some level that this ideology will piss off their wives/gf (as they wrote), but still advocate doing it. I guess all their wives and gfs must be woke? Or maybe women are too woke and therefore they never had wives and gfs to begin with?

The sentiment here is obviously terrible but at least there can be a laugh at how stupid it is. I mean....its so full of typos how could you ever think this person is trustworthy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Because nobody’s punching bigots in the teeth at every opportunity.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't get it. Is Bethesda preventing people from making sexy body replacer mods for Newblivion? People have been making those since Morrowind. Is that what this guy is on about?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mods like "replace all black people" get banned from Nexus for obvious reasons.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think people were ever making mods like that. If they were, fuck 'em.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

You'd be surprised. There are/were mods for Marvel's Spider-Man to replace the Pride flags flying around NYC to American flags. I'm almost positive there were some fucked up ones for the Miles Morales game too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everyone gains collective amnesia about all the good times they had playing/modding Bethesda games whenever they're in the news cycle for some reason. It's kind of fascinating/frustrating.

Add in the fact that a lot of these people have regressed over the past 10 or so years to the point where they think like 12-13 year olds again, and we get this whole "anti-woke gamer" bullshit.

To be completely fair though, I had to go out of my way to find people shitting on the game for even being "woke" in the first place. I saw the type 1/type 2 body type when I was making my character, but I just figured it was a natural progression since every other game with a character creator in the last 5 years has done away with gendered body types, and Oblivion is such a classic that it might have been overlooked; sadly not. In my head though (also because duh, it's obvious if you use your eyes) I ascribe each to male or female, and it took me like a second to get through that entire thought process.

I made the mistake of looking at comments on one of the steam news articles.

This drama doesn't deserve to be the top post here. Let those morons have their miserable lives while the rest of the world enjoys a fun video game

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The world is steadily running into an authoritarian, economical and climate catastrophe and bro is afraid of "woke videogames", lmao.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

One is specifically tied to the other. These people are being manipulated into being right wing pro-authoritarian voters because of "woke" blah blah blah. It's always their boogie man because it has been made part of their identity, it's part of the victim complex they have and they feel like "free speech warriors" when they fight against it... It's fucking disgusting.

G*mers are so far gone I'm not sure we can save them at this point.

Edit: dude literally believes people are gonna hack into your PC and uninstall certain mods or games if it doesn't fit with a certain worldview in a couple years. If anything, the only evidence I've seen for people to totally censor shit like video games (and other media) is ~~nazis~~ Republicans.
