The Elder Scrolls

[Hooked on phobics]

It's not impossible, but it doesn't quite fit with Bethesda's previous pattern of behavior.

situations like this always remind me of the frog and scorpion river crossing. Except the scorpion can swim so literally why not?

Its like the equivilant of a guy waving a gun in your face and going "pssh, chill the fuck out, I KNOW its loaded, I KNOW we are out in the middle of nowhere outside cellphone range, I KNOW you are nervous because you owe me thousands but cmon, SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE?! why would I do that??!"

I mean he has ALL the legal means to do that in the eula, and bethesda has been retaliatory in moderation, especially around the time of fallout76s launch mess, so to think they ABSOLUTELY WOULDN'T when they totally wrote explicitly in the eula that they can, when theres 0 REASON for that part in the eula otherwise?

Cmon, you gotta be naive.

Or do you seriously believe multiplayer is just coming next month too??

They’re going to add loot boxes to Oblivion?

 

[Iamthesun]

Oblivion's opening being better than Skyrim's is probably a big factor. In Oblivion you have control over your character from the get go after creating them, have to go through a short (5-15 minutes) sequence with the Emperor, but are more or less free to do whatever after emerging from the sewer into rather picturesque locale. Compare that to Skyrim's cart ride + railroaded opening + leaving the cave with Hadvar/Ralof (rather generic snowy forest) - and that's the opening if you don't care about dragons or shouts.. Otherwise you're taking upwards of half an hour or more just to unlock the main gimmick of the game ('shouts') and fighting dragons, which requires going through a whole other dungeon first. Skyrim is more persistent at pushing you versus Oblivion.

High Hrotgar was always the most boring shit for me. Staring at floors and listening to inane babble for 20 minutes. The dungeon is pretty chill, really.

In game purchases are 16+ on the PEGI (EU version of the ESRB) ratings list. 18+ is restricted for games with Lootboxes, and explicitly requires they call it out, by law: "Includes Random Items."

I'll be charitable and say this might be because of planned DLC not giving guaranteed loot. I'm not saying Todd Gang are above introducing loot boxes to this remaster (just look how grubby they got with '76), but they would be fucking retarded to try and introduce this to an RPG with the kind of pedigree Oblivion has.

I started with Skyrim and i still have fond memories of it, but after the first playthrough i couldnt pick it up again, not even to try out the DLC's, i tried to install mods just to put 3 things but i needed like 9999999999999 other shit to make them work, safe to say i spend more time modding than playing and dropped it again, recent this year i started playing morrowind and im having a blast with it, is everything i wanted skyrim to be, the melee combat is rather scuffed with the lack of feedback but i got used to it pretty quickly, after i finish it, i want to try oblivion (the original)

I say recently because back when reggie and iwata was in charge, Wii sports was free with a wii

Now there's a 10 dollar tech demo. It's always been bad but I've never seen it THIS BAD

Look at their history, it is par for the course. They just had a couple of cult-of-personality figureheads to make it seem like they were using lube.

Vilverin is better than Bleak Falls Barrow and certainly better than Embershard Mine.

Wouldn't surprise me at all.
Look at 76, it turned into their most profitable game ever because of loot boxes.
Oblivion is the one that started the micro transactions with horse armor after all.

I do wonder who exactly the target audience is. I guess people who used to play Oblivion and are nostalgic for it aren't an insignificant amount but I have a hard time imaging the kind of Skyrim baby or even younger player who refused to play Oblivion all these years yet would have if it looked like a shitty unreal port. In other words I don't think "massive Oblivion fan excited to play it for the first time" was ever a thing unlike with some titles.

For me, I have a hard time imagining who would play Bethesda games to begin with. The first Bethesda game I played was Morrowind in 2005 when I was 12. At the time, I hadn't played anything like it so I was into it. When I got a 360 and played Oblivion, I felt it was worse than Morrowind. While I was still in my "not paying attention or caring too much about the quality of games" phase, I played Fallout 3 and New Vegas as well. Skyrim was the eye opener for me on how shit western devs are and what made me despise western games and that was 14 years ago. There's some shit japanese games too but I've enjoyed far more japanese games. That's for another thread though. I have never understood why people like Bethesda games so much. They're pretty restrictive and just because you can walk wherever doesn't really mean there's much to exactly do. It's all mostly busy work or extremely fucking boring with barebones garbage combat. The dialogue options got even worse every game past Morrowind and they all use the same engine they used for Morrowind. Man, I hate Bethesda

I notice the UE5 slop patrol is out in force. Faggots going around telling people their PC's suck and that's why the performance is so bad. I see them on Steam and YouTube. "Get a better PC" "Time to upgrade". Uh no. No one is going to drop hundreds if not thousands of dollars to play some shitty UE5 slop. You shouldn't have to do that. It's like this remaster took Oblivion made it run like garbage. I really hope none of these people actually drop $300-$400 on a new CPU or even more on a new GPU just to run this slop. I have Oblivion on Steam I bought it during the Steam winter sale last year. I was holding off playing it because people were talking about a remaster coming. Since it's UE5 slop I'm just going to throw on some graphics mods and play the original. I don't have to put up with shitty performance in a 20 year old game. No ugly female characters with flat chests and no body type 1 and 2 bullshit. Yes, I noticed that shit.

Why do all you stupid fucking faggots have to ruin my beautiful and immaculate language? Can't you ruin Hindi or something instead?

Well nobody's waving a loaded gun in my face 'cause I didn't buy it.
Like I said, I wouldn't put it past Beth, it just doesn't fit into their pattern of behavior so I don't suspect they will.

They’re going to add loot boxes to Oblivion?

I'm guessing it's referring to the Creation Club. Though it's the kind of boneheaded move I expect from Bethesda. The game is complete with all DLCs and anything they could possibly gate behind lootboxes would have to be new, purely optional content.

Where is Elder Scrolls VI Todd?! Has making a squidgillion Elder Scrolls V Remakes, Remasters and Ports gotten boring? Now we gotta do a few Elder Scrolls IV Remakes, Remasters and Ports? Getting a little overly creative here Todd. I sure hope this isn't taking away from the production of Elder Scrolls VI! Its only been 14 years since the last entry in the series. Why, that Intern Jimmy you hired right before the release of V will be ready to retire soon. I cannot wait to see what he's been working on his entire professional life!

Nostalgia fags that played it when they were kids so it reminds them of a time before they had to be adults and a mass amount of tourists who would never touch a game made before 2015 like most streamers and the mongoloids that follow them.

I just hope the chess master sticks to his word and never remakes Morrowind.

The New Poster has much to learn from their senior about thumbnailing images

 

[Jose Beaner Luna]

I have never understood why people like Bethesda games so much

Is mods, unironically, i've played skyrim vanilla so much during its time i remember almost everything from it, however, other people installed mods almost instantly after their first playthrought skewing their memory of it, i've seen people discussing shit that never happened only to turn out it was a mod they thought was part of the vanilla game, bethesda players have gaslighted themselves into thinking the games havent gotten worse after each itteration thanks to them, wich is interesting to me, same shit applies to every other game from them post morrowind, they are remembering a modded version of the game, not the original.

I think you might be retarded.

The Quest Arrow and its consequences have been a disaster for the RPG genre.

I'm not saying Todd Gang are above introducing loot boxes to this remaster (just look how grubby they got with '76), but they would be fucking retarded to try and introduce this to an RPG with the kind of pedigree Oblivion has.

That would cover literally every DLC in a RPG or Survival game or really many genres.

I personally could see them being shitty little pisspants about being told they have to warn parents that the $80 ($90 for the physical) game they're about to sell is a glorified casino only without any regulation whatsoever, but I suspect they wouldn't go that route.

"Fucking retarded" does match modern Microsoft-wearing-Bethesda-as-a-skinsuit, however. Remember, this is the company that allowed the B team of DEI hires (which the pictures of the Oblivion Remaster suggest is this exact fucking team) to sneak in and "merge" all of their bioscan data for ethnic face data, because "race is just a social construct" -- which is why every character not a story NPC created by hand by the A team looks like mystery meat.

Anti-Wokefags have gotten so annoying they reverted to being the 90s religous right at this point

At least religious puritans have some form of moral advantage of being able to say "we don't like any degeneracy!" A majority of the anti-woke grifters and fanatics will push against woke shit (and rightfully so), but then advocate for coomer content in video games, and become seething mad when a dev reduces the cleavage window of the main character by 10% in the localization of their favorite anime porn game.
