I cannot believe the number of suckers who fell for this cash grab. It's just a fucking $50 graphics mod.

They saw Diablo II and said "fuck yeah"

This is the only reason they remastered the game. They wanted to sell the horse armor again.

I don't know why people still give bethesda money; they've clearly not had the players' best interests in mind for ages. Don't buy their cash-grab bullshit!

Microsoft, and by extension Bethesda, is currently a big target of the BDS boycotts as well. Hard pass on this one for the time being.

That's a given these days. I'll never understand what people like about these half assed games. That Bethesda look that all these games have is just disgusting.

One of my oldest, dearest friends drives me up a fucking wall with his insistence on prepurchasing all the slop that EA and Ubisoft and Bethesda churn out. His library of games that are >28% completed is unparalleled.

I have a fifa friend. He buys every fifa game on launch and hates rvery single one of them

Ugh. That shit is so frustrating.

The frustrating part is that i bought him schedule 1 because he was low on cash. Which was stupid of me, because i kinda know how much money he blew on fifa.

Still better face customisation for orcs than everyone's favourite Baldurs Gate 3.

I have already returned it.

Runs like ass on the Steam Deck even though it's verified. As soon as you get out of the sewer, the framerate drops and it barely manages to keep 30fps with bad framedrops all over the place, even on lowest settings and then you get some muddy blur that looks far worse than the original and it's barely recognizable due to all the AI-Upscale rendering artifacts.

I have just played Cyberpunk 2077 and it ran and looked so much better on the same device (and after that horrendous launch I never thought that time would come, when I would use it as a good example).

Also I quickly understood why it's called a remaster. Pretty much nothing has changed except for Textures and Models and the few gameplay improvements (and let's be honest here, Oblivion desperately needs them), you can get a so much better experience with mods for the original and make it a really immersive game.

The probably missing mod support was the final nail in the coffin. I may install the original again, as I really like Oblivion, or maybe I will just wait for Skyblivion, as it looks so much better than anything I saw here.

My expectations for TES VI are getting lower and lower. I'm pretty sure this is juat a cheap testrun for Bethesda to check if they can get away without having to put any work into a new engine and just outsource the Unreal graphics to the lowest bidder.
