In slight fairness to them, they decoupled major skills from Attribute leveling and gave you 12 points to spend on any Attribute per level up (or 4 for 1 point of Luck). They also made it so leveling ATTRs like Endurance retroactively grants you the health-per-level you would've missed out on in the original release. Those changes alone pretty drastically open up the "optimal" way to play the game. Originally your ATTR increases were governed by how often you leveled 3 stats that were (sometimes arbitrarily) governed by that ATTR. That created a lot of opportunity to "waste" stat increases and level ups, and made you vulnerable to getting outpaced by enemies' health and damage scaling with your level. That's not really an issue anymore.

Now, universal level scaling is still in the game yeah. The open nature of the original is kinda designed around that though, it wasn't made like Elden Ring where you never get to Mountaintop until high level anyway, you can just go from Cheydinhal to Anvil whenever you want. I understand why you don't like it, I certainly don't love it, but I'm not surprised it's still there.
Can i still ~tgm? used that to get through oblivion long time ago

e:google says yes
 
Did they made a nude mod already? Game is less than a week, they should have already released a nude mod.
 
Eastern AAA devs also produce a lot of trash these days. Just look at modern Square Enix.
Correction, every Japanese developer that's been affected by ESG, DEI, and payment processors/platform holders. If CERO was the first twin tower, this is the second, and lolcowlizers are the Pentagon. Even the ones that people circlejerked for bad games (e.g: IdeaFactory) just keep making soulless goyslop now ever since 2020.

The only one that has remained somewhat unaffected by all of the jew shit going on in the kike-cuck JP games industry (outside of lolcowlizers) is Falcom.

As soon as Korea and China (especially Mihoyo) goes out in full force to make stuff that isn't gachaslop, Japanese games are dead. At least with Chinese games, despite my issues with their government, you don't have to worry about identity politics being injected deep inside their games, and they can actually release PC versions that aren't lazy low effort dogshit.
Man, a lot of negativity here. Sure there are "quirks" that come with the territory of modern gaming. But god damn, I love Oblivion. I was getting 140+ FPS outside while streaming to my friends with max settings. No real crazy bugs, just that gorgeous jank that I remember so fondly. This remaster makes me feel like a kid again.
Enjoying what I've been playing so far too. I just wish they'd make performance a bit better without frame generation, let users toggle off lumen and volumetric clouds, add an HDR display mode on PC, add options for RT shadows+reflections (yes there's a hardware lumen option but it doesn't affect reflections, and you can technically enable both in the command console, just that there's some weird artifacting that happens in dark areas), and fix the color correction to better represent the original game. Those are my only real gripes with it. Maybe adding the community bug fix patches into the remaster as it still retains a lot of the bugs of the original that have already been patched out by modders already.

In fact I'd argue that despite the small handful of problems, it's probably the least buggy Bethesda launch so far. And if you are big enough as a company, using leaks for marketing alongside shadow dropping it is a pretty good method of marketing with very little money involved. It spells confidence in your product, much in the same way with Tango and Hi-Fi Rush.

EDIT: Some of the NPC models looking uglier than the original is a problem.

I still don't understand who the hell wants to play a hermaphrodite
or why people are still pretending to care since usAID and DEI have been slashed. literally no money in it anymore.
I doubt DEI is going anywhere. You really think Larry Fink would just let his baby die? They'll probably just keep changing the language.
 
No good can come of that
I mean that rhetorically. I know the current group of retarded theater kids taught by Art and Literature professors that the highest form of art is to destroy the art of the past are incapable of creating anything new for the future.

But that also means its more important they not be allowed to remaster old games.

isnt elsweyr a desert

khajiit shouldnt have manes cuz of the heat

tsavo lions have no manes for this exact reason
A part of it is, yes. But not all of it.
Other areas are jungle, some are Badlands.
Others are Savannah.
Remember, each ES game has different looking Khajiit because Khajiit can look different depending on what phases of the moons they’re born in.
Some end up looking like Nekos with slit eyes, cat tails and ears like in Daggerfall. Some end up coming out as regular ass looking cats and some look like Sabertooth Tigers.
Some look like Lynxes like the Skyrim ones, etc.



In a similar manner, the Nigargonians are supposed to look like T-Rexes/Dinosaurs. Look at a T Rex image, then at the new lizard men.


Man, a lot of negativity here
It’s weird. The dedicated GTA complaining thread has less negativity.
Maybe this thread should be changed to “The Elder Scrolls Grieving Thread” and a new one be made so people who don’t wanna sift through the complaints can have conversations and the complainers don’t have to see people saying good things about something they don’t like.
