The Elder Scrolls

This is almost certainly a hoax, there is no way in hell Bethesda would shadow drop something as huge as a full Oblivion remake with zero marketing.
You know what?
I'm with you on this.
The box art is so ugly and the fact the blurry picture we got of a deluxe version WITH the horse armor?
Its too comedic to be real. This has to be a hoax its just too absurd. Microsoft hasn't fallen THAT FAR that they would charge you premium for ancient shit all over again.

I saw people saying it will have dark souls blocks and combat now too.

Same with the lockpicking minigame, both Oblivion's and the pre-Starfucked, post-Oblivion Bethesda lockpicking minigames. In that they're incredibly simple and easy but because people can't brute force it like a retard it's considered difficult and whatnot. Speaking of retard:
Local brainlet gets filtered even when being HANDHELD by his audience, makes video crying about it.
DSP got gatekept by it. So you are 100% correct. It is the anti retard system
E: This guy is insufferable and incredibly retarded.

Speaking of which, someone literally just made an Oblivion lockpicking mod for OpenMW this week.

I like the lil headnod at the end
 
Its lore is good, and the writing is miles above Daggerfall. It was the first TES title with MK at the wheel for the world building and it shows. I don't remember the music at all.

It plays like absolute ass. Even back then. The gameplay of this thing is beyond fucked. And it's ugly. In short, no. It's a cool read/good video background but that's about it.
Sure it's a financial failure, only a novelty by the standards of the Elder Scrolls series, came out on a declining gaming platform, and had a tie-in comic which is rather neat but it does have Todd Howard providing the voice for Clavicus Vile.

Todd Howard also voiced him in Oblivion, but for some reason not in Skyrim

I think Oblivion is a perfect candidate for a remake because it is a great game with massive flaws. The world, the exploration and (some of) the writing is awesome while the gameplay is janky, combat is awful and the leveling and progression is pure shit. If I could remotely trust the devs to remain true to the good while improving the bad I would be fairly hyped.
As shit as the progression is, it's part of Oblivion's janky charm and I'd like to see that retained. I know this is a volcanic hot take.

They can ditch the speechcraft mini game, though. Give me a dice roll over that nonsense.

I'm going to play it on Gamepass since I still have a subscription. I don't like how the leaked pics has that piss filter from like 2008 though.

Also I wish Todd Howard would come back to voice Clavicus Vile in TES VI. Also someone should use AI to mod him into Skyrim.

I wasnt aware of that guy. I watched some of his stuff while doing some menial bullshit and I've seen worse. He does okay for a zoomer on Morrowind and Oblivion. I think vanilla Daggerfall is just the ultimate anti zoomzoom media out there.

I see your points and I hope you're wrong. I want my Oblislop with Dark Souls combats and 25 fps. If that is a bait, imagine how retarded we must look to Bethesda.

I hear that the Oblivion remaster will have the Skyrim/Avowed filter. Is this true? Or is Arch an idiot? Or both?
 
Oblivion has the superior lock picking system as it requires actual skill instead of luck and even if you hate it getting the skeleton key is extremely easy.
I will say that the Switch version of Skyrim vastly improves on Lockpicking, since each joycon clicks and vibrates individually as you maneuver the pick.
 
My only concern is the remaster having that dogshit built-in creation club crap. Not because it's annoying but because the same update fucked with controller, fps, vsync, fov, whole fucking nine yards. Yeah actually, I hope they add FoV. That alone is the only reason I mod my skyrim. Nothing else.

In a game market of le edgy indian teens with magical powers and le dogshit AAA projects that cause the bankruptcy of a once-great studio, this will be fun. Unless it literally runs like shit, Ill rather play through a borked version of a game I know than risk on some new story.
