… now do it with Morrowind. I dare you. I double dare you!
There is the Skywind project, but I’m not sure if any progress has been made in the last year
Yeah you’re better off waiting for Skyblivion. I don’t think skywind is ever going to get completed at this point. It’s simply taking too long - looked it up and it’s been almost 13 years.
Can we just have 6 instead?
No. Oblivion remastered. Then Skyrim Special Oblivion Remastered Anniversary Edition. Then Starfield Remastered.
Then Oblivion Remastered 2 since the current one will be outdated by that time.
Looks amazing, definitely gonna pick this up.
Edited to add further thoughts
Having a deluxe edition of a remaster feels bad, though I don’t completely begrudge them. It was still a lot of work, time, and effort to do this.
I kinda love releases like this with no build up. I know that this was leaked but I mean compared to six years of announcement to release, I much prefer this kind of shadow drop.
How much is the horse armor?
$10. I’m not joking. It’s a part of the deluxe edition.
Yes and no. All original dlc is included in the base game, including the infamous horse armour.
The Deluxe Edition adds art book, OST, and some new weapon, armours, and yes horse armours not in the original game.
Included in the game. Deluxe edition adds new horse armours (among a few other things).
Included. The Deluxe edition adds some new gear, but all the old content (including the old DLC) is available in the base game.
A deluxe edition does seem a little lame for a remaster. But at the same time the deluxe edition is still cheaper than Starfield and I’d much rather play this.
If this were a Nintendo game it’d be $80 for the base and $90 for Deluxe.
The Deluxe Edition also offers you nothing that you really need. Stuff like that never bothers me. Especially in a game like oblivion where there’s no online component. The people who buy the extra stuff either want to support the game more or they just really want that shit. More power to them
The Oblivion score is so good.
Jeremy Soule did amazing work. Unfortunately it turned out he was a terrible person and he was blacklisted from the industry after multiple allegations were made against him during the #MeToo movement.
Oh that sucks
Yeah that was really disappointing
It’s you! The hero of kvatch!
I was never a huge fan of the base game (after Morrowind, the far more generic fantasy setting was underwhelming and I absolutely hated the Oblivion parts), but I loved the Shivering Isles expansion. Tempted to get it for that alone. The fugly character models needed to be redone BADLY, too.
Shivering Isles rivals Morrowind in my mind. It has a strange and unique setting and most of the content is incredibly well-written, which contrasts sharply with the standard medieval setting of baseline Oblivion (mandatory reminder that Cyrodiil was supposed to be a rainforest, but the devs retconned it to make development easier).
The other expansion, Knights of the Nine, was just a bunch of fetch quests to unlock an armor set and was disappointing in comparison to even the base game (though at least the final boss fight was cool). It also put behavioral tracking on the DLC’s rewards that would disable them if your character gained infamy, forcing you to repeat a bunch of boring travel quests to fix them whenever this happened. There’s a reason KotN never comes up in discussions about the game.

Same. It’s easily my favorite Elder Scrolls expansion, period.
mandatory reminder that Cyrodiil was supposed to be a rainforest
I never knew that. Shame the devs for this didn’t go for it, but I suppose fans would be up in arms about it.

I kinda wonder what the NPCs in that one village part of a quest that mimics Shadow Over Innsmouth look like in the remake… They’re supposed to be fugly 🤣
It looks great, and it’s AVAILABLE TODAY! The rumors were (unsurprisingly) right on the money, it was a shadowdrop.
Edit: Official 20 minute showcase is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk5cymSWmqo
Did they change anything meaningful, like removing that aweful level scaling?
They did, but to what end we might find out just a few hours from now. Seems like minigame stay the same, but the combat is revamped
Edit: ohh wait i don’t think they mentioned scaling, but just the levelling is changed.
All of the games have scaling of some kind (at least Morrowind and Skyrim do). Just as long as they make suboptimal builds viable rather than punishing, that’s all I need.
I’m definitely trying the unreal engine VR injector the second the game is done downloading to see if that works!
Would love to hear results if you do try it out!
I’ve seen people get pretty good results but i don’t think i had the right settings so i wasn’t able to make it run. I have a 3090 wich is pretty much the minimum for that XD i also tried to run the game in 8K just to see how it would look with no luck. I ended up playing at 4K medium settings for now. I’ll definitely try again tomorrow with someone’s UEVR injector profile.
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?
my steam download speed is so dead right now. rip their servers
Maybe pause and start the download again, or try a different server? I just downloaded it at nearly full gigabit speeds.
I’m waiting for skyblivion instead
If you have Game pass give it a go, it kinda plays like a weird hybrid of Skyrim and Oblivion
Got the weekend booked for this. Excited just roam around and see how things have changed. Seems like it runs flawlessly on Linux too!
I straight up got emotional during the trailer and announcement stream. Oblivion was the first RPG of this kind that I ever played and was one of my favorite games in middle school. Hopefully it’s a stable release because I wanna play that shit as soon as I get home from work.
Looking at Steam it looks like they locked the expansions behind the deluxe edition?
Every publication I’ve read says the DLCs are all included in the base game. Deluxe adds new cosmetics, OST, and an art book.
This is what it says for the deluxe edition on the PS Store:
"Upgrade* from the digital base game to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Deluxe Edition* to receive:
-
Unique digital Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon Armors, Weapons, and Horse Armor Sets
-
Digital Artbook and Soundtrack App
*Base game required, sold separately"
Soundtrack App
Bruh…
Wow, they literally added more horse armor lol
-
Nope, the old DLC is available in the base game. The Deluxe edition adds some new armor (and yes, new horse armor) but isn’t necessary to access the old DLC.
Yep, they did…it’s pretty shitty.Though it’s only $10 upgrade, whether you choose now or later. But still, for a 19 year old game, come on man.Apparently I was reading this wrong.
Here’s the poster from Steam
They have not, actually.
Thanks for the correction. I was reading the poster on Steam incorrectly, it seems.
So all the stuff on the left is in the base purchase but all the stuff on the right is the extras in the deluxe
It’s poorly done, possibly to trick people into thinking they have to get the Deluxe version to get the expansions.
looks like im not finishing avowed 😂
