The Elder Scrolls

I wonder what QoL improvements the game will get. I also wonder if the dogshit leveling system is still in place.

INB4 retards start circlejerking Avowed to spite Bethesda.
edit: I don't have faith in the remaster but at the same time I can fully expect the NV tards to start dick sucking Avowed for reddit points. Both (will in ES O's side) suck.

It depends on how TES VI does.
If its a miserable shit show that may be the end of TES.

A Catch-22 if you will: either TES6 does well enough to justify not sending every Bethesda employee back to India, ensuring more slop to come, or TES6 does so poorly that Microsoft outsources low budget remakes/remasters/spin offs to third rate studios to recoup at least some of the costs they sunk on Bethesda.

I was kind of excited to hear about the Oblivion remaster since it's the one post Morrowin TES game I never played. But I just heard it will be on UE5. That basically killed it for me. UE5 is a garbage engine and the games that use it often run like shit and look like shit. I'm expecting it to be the typical UE5 slop.

Wait- I'm confused, and incredibly behind. So TES6 is going to be an Oblivion Remaster?
I thought that Morrowind and Skyblivion were a thing, and initially got confused thinking that Skyblivion was moving to UE5. Nevermind that, what the fuck? Does that mean no Hammerfell?

UE5 is a garbage engine

Agreed, I hate UE5 with a passion

No, there is an actual Oblivion remaster coming. Supposedly using UE5. TES6 is still its own thing. The Skyblivion mod is still going to be released as well. It might get a cease and desist from Bethesda lawyers though.

I don't have a lot of hope that the Oblivion remaster will be the one UE5 game that isn't garbage.

Welp, looks like I have a lot of reading to do, thanks for the catch up. I know Bethesda are Jewish but I hope they're not Jewish enough to try to kill off modding or fan projects like that.

Don't blame you, I'm in the same boat. Nothing good has come from UE5 as far as I'm aware.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

At the moment I have no strong feelings one way or the other. I know too little to make a judgement on if it will be hot shit or good. A few dozen screenshots of scenic vistas from the game doesn't give me anything.

I recall the o.g. Oblivion box art was kinda terrible, so these leaks if true are not off base.

The Oblivion box set was just a logo just like Skyrim.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

I was smoking a cigarette and thinking about this Oblivion UE5 shit I remembered a post in the skyrim subreddit about rendering Skyrim in UE5. Since TES: VI won't be out before 2030 will Micro$oft re-re-re-re-release Skyrim as a remake in UE5 if this Oblivion remake sells well?

The GOTY art was black and looked even more like the Skyrim box art to confuse things a little more. I think a lot of people remember the crappy splash art with the dopey guard standing in front of burning Kvatch but that was just the back of the box.

Soul is the same thing as a "strong atmosphere".

Also in the case of many loved games; unpolished and flawed in a uniquely human way.

Spoiler: quasi political sperging

People always say AI is souless, and I don't hate AI because it's just a waste of emotional energy, the genie is out of the bottle. But my one problem with it is the same as what many have with UE5: it makes thing too easy to checklist. IE It encourages 'press the button and mentally clock out' laziness in the supposed creative mind of an office jockey.

When you play a game like the original Oblivion, you know for it's many many warts and shortcuts; the Bethesda crew were utterly pouring their hearts and souls throughout crunch time to make a deadline before the money ran out. With this remaster a lot of people are hoping that it will add a lot of the stuff that Beth couldnt get working right by release time and was cut or broken, but I would be shocked if it it was so.

Yup that goofy dude standing there at a weird angle and a shot of the big tower with a bunch of bloom effect. That box is burned into my brain.

Im happy to play the original game modded or not, happy to play Skyblivion, I'll be happy to play the remake if it's real, but kiwis let's not kid ourselves, we can't ever truly go back.

Saw another remaster the other day. Horrible creations. Be seeing you.

 

[Tri-Tachyon'sClown]

I come back to this site and I find out 3 things:
>4chan is kill
>Oblivion remake screenshots may have been leaked, might still be a hoax
>There's a Skyblivion dev on the Farms, let's hope we don't find out which one so he isn't removed from the dev team
I hope Bethesda doesn't remove OG Oblivion like retards (it's still a possibility, spite is a hell of a motivator) or go after Skyblivion if the remaster is real and eventually drops. That being said, I expect the possible remaster to:
>Be insanely buggy
>Be sovlless
>Run like dogshit on even the most powerful hardware
>To sell like hotcakes on PC, which will-again-run like dogshit on even top of the line hardware, look at Monster Hunter Wilds
>Zoomers and millennials will shit on the OG Oblivion because if they play anything older than 1 year ago they'll implode
No better time to reinstall Oblivion.

There is only one person who came close to supporting Avowed(PatricianTV) and he already forgot it exists, calm down

lmfao, the moddibility of these games is their entire point and that's GONE with UE5.
Bethesda is well and truly cooked if this is the future they choose(or daddy Microsoft choose for them). I guess that means that a potential Fallout 3 remaster will also be in UE5, Bethesda/Microsoft will also cancel any fan efforts to remake the game themselves(which is already promising) as they have shown no remorse for pushing back the release of London with their shitty "Next Gen Update" nobody liked that broke everything.

I know this is a bit off topic from whats going on right now but is wabbajack actually good for installing mod lists, i wanted to setup a modded skyrim install but the ammount of mods you need to get the game stable and modable is enormous

 

[Preacher ✝]

I am more hype for the next installment of Tamriel Rebuilt than I am for Oblivion Remaster and Skyblivion combined, no offense to the resident dev.

If this is what the game actually looks like I don't see how it can. Oblivion's aesthetic really encapsulated the 90s-00s core fantasy aesthetic down to a T and having UE5 post processing effect abuse and brown and bloom everywhere just ruins everything, regardless of how loyal the core design is to the original game. It just doesn't seem to carry itself as very unique in the current year, nor does it really have that nostalgic quality for anyone who grew up with the game.

People talked about it a few pages back but it would be good to try to get a good enough understanding of what you actually need and then measure how much of a Wabbajack list you like is comprised of mods that are actually necessary or if it's just bloat. I want to say it's better to avoid mod compilations altogether but I don't really play Skyrim much to give a better answer.
