The Elder Scrolls

I never played Oblivion before (except briefly as a 10 year old at a friend's house on PS3) but I'm having a great time with the remaster. Sadly I have to keep settings at mid/high on my RTX 3060 graphics card. I desperately wish I could use ultra settings because the game looks absolutely unreal in certain areas with the right lighting.

Here's a video (attached and linked below) showing some of the differences between the two versions.

I'm on the same card and the game looks beautiful in most areas, you can crank everything to ultra with ultra ray-tracing in some areas, if you're okay with 40fps that is.

Also, Null is going to get very upset about that 190MB video my friend.

My favorite part of this entire thing has been bing bang wahoo zoomers going "Finally something new guys!!! Something other than Skyrim!" like come on this game is older than you people. If anybody really wants to get the authentic Oblivion experience just pirate buy the old one and mod it, dont support these gay ass remakes and remasters.

Modders fixed that game like 20 years ago and have developed mods to this very day, some of them should be supported instead of Bethesda.

Imagine having such a potato that you run it at resolutions that won't crash it.
 
This is supposed to be a female btw.

Okay, to be a little fair, characters in every Elder Scrolls game have looked liked dysgenic freaks of nature. I think the thing that's jarring about it is that it's effectively just ES Oblivion facial structures but in very high definition.

Now to be less kind, this game's art design proves that Bethesda has absolutely no fucking clue how to update their old art style to match modern hardware capabilities. This is basically inexcusable, because FromSoftware, a company whose games are famous for their vibes and art direction, ALSO made first person dungeon crawlers at the same time as Bethesda. But instead of paying DEI retards to do their art, they hired actual artists, and as a result I can't say there is a single FromSoftware game I dislike the visual style of, and I think they scaled their vibes and visual style extremely well over time. Dark Souls 2's vibes are so similar to King's Field (particularly 4) that it's incredible.

Skyrim did feel like it matched the visual design of the previous games, this remaster does not. It feels more like Fable than anything else. The people who are behind the art should be genuinely embarrassed for having produced such unabashed high-saturation slop.

>implying the Japanese have ever produced anything good except a reason to bomb them
 
Would even the gender brigade want this? They just changed the names of the sexes, while keeping the "binary" that makes troons seethe. Unless you can select to have a Body Type 1 soul inside a Body Type 2 it's still exclusionary, bigot.

I don’t even understand what the point of these changes would be from a woke perspective. There’s not currently a general crusade against the words Male and Female, the slogan isn’t “Trans Body Type 2s Are Body Type 2s!” Even the psychos who want you to say “birthing people” to be inclusive of the heckin seahorse dads only want you to do that in the context of pregnancy. The most I can figure is that this is for enbies who want to roleplay enbies and their immersion would be shattered by having to select Male or Female, but somehow not shattered by “Body Type 1 or 2”, even though we all know what those correspond to. As pointed out, the true woke move is a slider or an endless series of micro-options.

And “Origin”, is the word “Race” haram now? Are they gonna start calling it Critical Origin Theory? What is this shit? It’s unnecessary sensitivity, no one was upset by these things but some sensitivity consultant woke corpo trash was terrified they might be, so they made this pointless and insulting change acting like common words are turbo-slurs. Then when people rightly push back, idiots who can’t even articulate why the change is needed or modding it back is bad can dimly sense that they are being dunked on and must call in the tranny jannies. Pathetic

I know, I tried compressing it, but since it's a visual comparison I didn't want to compress it too much.

Also, for anyone interested in buying the game on Steam. You can get it from greenmangaming for $42.
 
Is Todd the greatest game marketer of all time? He's made billions hocking dogshit games for 14 years, most of them being rereleases of Skyrim and now Oblivion. Bethesda games have been utterly mediocre to dogshit for years and they still have a sterling reputation, unlike Ubisoft and EA who do the same shit but I guess with less effective marketing because everyone hates those companies. Praise Todd!

How about I dont want to play a game that crashes every 2 seconds in 640x480
 
I don't know what the fuck happened to the place, because NexusMods used to be a pretty damn good website for fans and creators alike back in the early 2010s.

I was very active on the website at the peak of activity for classic Oblivion and Skyrim, before the game got 20 different releases on every platform imaginable.
I will not powerlevel too much, but I was involved in the making of one of the more popular armor mods at the time of vanilla Skyrim.

The worst that could happen at the time, in terms of moderation, was to be flagged for mature content, which was not allowed on the website.
I remember literal flame wars over user-generated screenshots of Skyrim (some people were all too invested in them) that were too suggestive for the website, let alone a mod.

In retrospect, it was a good sign of health of a community, because pornography was kept off the premises without compromises, and the soon-to-be tranny coomers (those subhumans had not been "invented" at the time yet) all fucked off to a website called LoversLab to goon together and fry their brain with pornographic mods, squeezing every last droplet of dopamine.
It's depressing to learn it went downhill so quickly, and that NexusMods is now a haven for a culture that is already being labelled as completely deranged by an ever-increasing number of people.

The Reddit-tier hecking wholesome upboaterino is going to do fuck-all to change the state of things, but I did my part regardless.
This is the first endorsement I have given any mod in probably a decade.

Fuck current-day Nexus, fuck trannies, and fuck power-tripping jannies. You in particular Dante, you fucking loser. Two decades have passed, your broom has lost all its bristles.
And give your head a shake, Robin Scott (a.k.a. DarkOne), you certified mongoloid. Put your house in order and read the fucking room about the current state of things. No one likes these people anymore.

Edited P.S. : The game itself plays just fine, and I cannot wait to sink hours into it, time and job permitting.
It warms the cockles of my heart to see all that stupendous jank again, now with sixteen times the detail.

Cope.
You're afraid of a few words.
The mod was banned because the author, and by extension you, are a bunch of snowflake crybabies that cannot handle the fact that not all men and not all women are of the same body type.
Besides, Monster Hunter Wilds, declared anti woke by many, also features body types. However, it also allows you to use body type A armor on body type B and vice versa, allowing you to have a full femboy hunter if you want to.
The only reason I haven't bought it yet tbh is that I wait for the technical errors on PC to be fixed and the price to go down, but after that, it'd be peak. And 10 million others thought so as well.
Go Woke, Go Profitable.
 
Mild autism tickle, but the fact that Archery is always a dexterity skill instead of a strength skill is so inaccurate. You had to be fucking ripped like John Cena in order to draw a Longbow or any other type of war bow.
In fairness you'd probably still be pretty fucking strong as a dex person, walking around crouched all day would give you some killer glutes and thighs.
Would even the gender brigade want this?
It has less to do with whether or not the change is actually effective and more to do with troons getting to exude societal pressure on developers and, by extension, everyone else.
is the word “Race” haram now?
Have you not been paying attention the past couple of years? DnD has had the term scrubbed from its identity as well, the idea of fantasy races being distinct is no longer allowed in modern society. We are all one race, bigot, even if you have pointy ears or scales.

On that same topic, why THE FUCK do female Khajiits have beards now? They're based off of lions, okay, but lionesses do not have beards. This has got to be due to some tranny genderqueer at Virtuos.

Or just play it on the Xbox Game Pass. It's there day one. That's what I'd be doing if I gave a fuck about Oblivion.
 
for people ACTUALLY playing the game I recommend getting weightless Alchemy and Misc items. Its just really fucking annoying to have to go stash all your mushrooms, alembic, calcinator, morar and pestle, etc in a chest at your house somewhere instead of just being able to keep gaming craft potions later

The concept of distinction between different types of creatures in DND wasn't scrapped, it was instead replaced with the word "species".
Ironically, race just means deviations within the same species. This would mean that, somehow, orcs and dwarves are of the exact same species. Or, hell, bugbears and dragons. Species works way better to describe such situation.
Plus, it was a change in DND One, which has its own share of problems, including greed and being pretty much all designed around online play and the apps. No content was retroactively changed in any ealrier release, including the first DND rerelease from a year back, which even had the (very criticised here btw) text explaining why they haven't done so. You still have your old DND shit to go back to. Everyone I know who plays DND didn't even touch One.
