2 Hour summary.
After my initial crashed and performance issues because I have an ayyyymd GPU (resolved, had to remove my overclock and lock frames at 120fps), the game runs and looks great (high settings constant 80 fps outdoors, 120 indoors). The new combat animations feel satisfying as fuck.
Doesn't look or feel like UE5 slop, you can feel that it's quite literally just oblivion running underneath a graphical skinsuit.
The UI redesign keeps the original aesthetic but adds some more functionality, feels good.
For the guy that asked about console, it's still in and all the commands function. Game has FOV options in the menu but you can do a console override as well, resurrect NPC's, delete NPC's, player.additem, unlock doors, etc
Anyone got any other questions to look into?
