I had a passionate crush on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Could it still thrill me 19 years later?

I have to hand it to Bethesda and Virtuos. I was never really much of a fan of Oblivion, only playing it for a few hours and never finishing it (average TES Player moment), but this is an excellently handled remaster that, although it makes less than stellar changes in some places (or in some cases, no changes and just the mechanics of the base game, such as the overly "slidey" feeling movement, that are eventually easily fixable thanks to mods), ultimately they have done an excellent job.
I kinda hate saying it, but credit where credit is due. You earned it this time, Todd.
I only hope Bethesda can learn the correct lessons from this (pipedream) and make their next works even better. Very well done and I look forward to seeing Morrowind get the same treatment (I am actually delusional and huffing massive quantities of Hopium lol).
