MODERATORS
Funny enough the deluxe edition includes horse armor lol
I got it, and despite the performance issues everyone is talking about, the game is a wonderful trip down nostalgia lane. And unlike the original, they fixed a lot of the annoyances like the clunky UI.
I’m pretty curious about this. I tried Oblivion a few years ago having never played it before and it just felt too clunky for me to want to play much past the tutorial. Which is a shame because I’ve heard there’s a lot of cool stuff in the game I didn’t get to see.
If this makes things feel better to play and is a good all around remaster, maybe I’ll pick it up and give it another go.
Oblivion was the first game I ever put 100+ hours into, but every time I've tried to get back into it over the years, it was just too clunky and awkward. Bethesda games always age poorly.
But this remaster is fucking incredible and I very irresponsibly wasted an entire day yesterday playing it. They fixed and polished it so it feels like a modern game again. The only issue I had was poor performance in a lot of areas, like frequent drops down to 40 fps on my powerful PC. I'm hoping a patch will fix that soon.
Admittedly, my opinion is heavily clouded by nostalgia, so temper your expectations in case my comment actually convinces you to buy it. It's a great game, but it's smaller and somewhat clunkier than Skyrim.
Can't play the game. Just like Nightengale before it, it seems like Intel Arc cards still have issues supporting DX12 on Linux.
Game won't launch because it complains DX12 is unsupported.
That's unfortunate. Hopefully a driver update comes around soon
Likewise, but I seem to be having major issues with Unreal Engine games in general. UE5 games tend to complain about lack of DX12, and UE4 games run very poorly.
Meanwhile I'm getting pretty good performance on Cyberpunk 2077 with nearly all the settings maxed out.
I'm waiting for skyblivion instead
dont wait, play this until skyblivion comes out. boom double oblivion remasters to play
If you have Game pass give it a go, it kinda plays like a weird hybrid of Skyrim and Oblivion
Looks shit.
It plays well on the steam deck day 1 as well, if that matters to anyone here. I played the first 2 hours on my deck from work with no issues.
Shaders took like 10 minutes but the rest of the load times were all fine.
How much fps are you getting? And what are your other settings?
I was getting a stable 30fps on mid settings. Having played at home at much higher resolution, I see you lose a lot, but its still very playable.
I loaded it up on my Deck last night for a few minutes using the default settings (low preset) and was getting what seemed like a stable 30 fps running around in Skingrad. Other people have reported sub-20 FPS when in the open world on the Deck, so it's probably not the best choice unless they patch it
Stoked to try this game, but I'm waiting a few months for a patch to the graphics issues.
