The Elder Scrolls

They did this with The Dawnguard in the DLC and nobody appreciates it.
I'll admit it's been a hot minute since I played Dawnguard but from what I remember the main questchain is literally the same for both factions, with some minor stat differences if you choose to be a vampire. The only thing that's different is the side quests which weren't anything to write home about. I think it's disingenuous to say "nobody appreciated it" when people very clearly appreciated the branching questlines in Far Harbor, it's just that Dawnguard wasn't that good.

Edit: The one thing I can appreciate is that you are debuffed if you enter the Soul Cairn as a human, even if it's just another attempt to get you to become a vampire

Some are bad, some are fine, which is a marked improvement over literally fucking terrible in every instance.
I think Human Races benefited the most and look decent on average in the remaster, but the Elves look really weird especially Altmer. I know all the old character models where all potato people but some of the High Elves that were the average oblivion ugly are now abominations in the remaster

I think there's one different quest between them in the main questline. I will say that the quest rewards do vary greatly depending on which faction you choose at least.

I'm having so much fun with the game, I've completely forgotten about the Body Type bullshit.
I rolled my eyes hard at it but I’ve not once been called a “they” or anything like that.
I hate how it's a good message but conveyed through a really shitty meme.
How’s this template?

Obshiddiots dogmatically believe that everything their mediocre favorite studio makes is would be the greatest substance since Samus Aran's breastmilk, if it weren't for them always being sabotaged by jealous manajerk publishers and their awful horrible (GASP) deadlines.
Samus Tiddy milk isn’t something I was expecting to consider today but here we are.

Yeah it’s literally only Obsidian that people keep giving a pass to when almost all their games have been broken, buggy, unfinished messes. And when they’re not? You get Outer Worlds and Avowed.
If anything, Obshittian is even more into shoehorning SJW dogma into their games.
Yep, waaaaay more woke than Bethesda has ever been.
Especially now that Chris Avellone has been falsely #MeToo'd and no doubt replaced by dangerhairs and jeets in Montreal (or some libtard shithole like that).
I never liked him. Thought he was an uppity prick. I still have my doubts that he isn’t a sex pest. But I’ll take him over what you described as his replacements.
I do not give a shit about "soul,"
You forgot “slop.”
Now do Morrowind, Todd, so I can see people twist themselves into pretzels trying to argue that "actually realtime roll-to-whiff is very fun and cool and part of the c h a r m" and not something no one but the most staunch contrarian neckbeards actually likes.
That would make me so fucking happy. Morrowind’s dogshit gameplay fixed and have it not look like a shitty Sega Saturn game? Perfect.
Honestly I’d rather play OG Daggerfall because at least the sprite graphics have their charm and don’t age badly.

I also want it done to New Vegas so I can watch Creetard and the other Obsidiots absolutely mald and shit themselves over the fact that the best version of New Vegas will have exactly zero to do with their precious Obshitian.
They might actually delete their channels like Schizo Elijah did.
Dude what? The new faces are uncanny as fuck.
I agree but they are uncanny in a different way. I killed the Grand Champion Orc’s Vampire dad and he had hair and his eyes were closed. When was done searching the rest of Crowhaven I came back to find him completely bald and eyes wide open and it legit creeped me out. Like I legit got unnerved.
 

Guy who made a pretty decent breakdown of the Demon Soul's remaster (I also didn't like it either it felt off at the time), has made a breakdown of Oblivion. Sorry to shill but I like his channel and I think he's worth a watch.

He's basically doing "actually this thing that looks like shit is good" for every single Oblivion design. There are a couple monsters I would agree look worse in the remake. I'm not really sold on the new troll design, and the old unicorn looked more like a fantasy creature. The original trolls, scamps, and zombies looked absolutely terrible. They looked terrible at the time, to the point I was somewhat embarrassed to even be playing a game that looked that shitty, and watching this video reminded me of what I thought were some of the worst-looking character models I'd ever seen. The "artistic intent" behind why most of the original models had bad proportions, bad textures, and bad animations is Bethesda hired bad artists after Morrowind, and they did a bad job on Oblivion.

The zombie on the left doesn't evoke any artistic vision. It just looks like shit. The one on the right looks better.

He throws this comparison up and derides the armor on the right as "cheap realism," while the armor on the left looks "like a fantasy illustration." The only fantasy illustrations I've ever seen that looked this bad were early D&D drawings done by the cheapest artists Gary Gygax could find. Anyone with a decent budget does better. Oblivion armors looked like ass, and this guy trying to reach for reasons for why they secretly looked good all along, and why the redesigns with a proper sense of weight and thickness are "bad, actually," just makes him sound like a curmudgeon who will reach for any reason to hate something new.

That's true.
Vampires had the Ancient Blood chalice, Rings & Amulets of Power and Potion Bloods in a regular basis. Some special heal spells.
If you use the tainted elven arrows with Auriel's Bow against the sun, it becomes eclipsed and you hadn't any sunlight weakness for one day.

Dawnguard had a rune shield, hammer and axe. Enchanted crossbows, followers and trolls. Another special heal spells too.
Using the radiant elven arrows with Auriel's Bow againt the sun creates damaging sunlights from the sky, which is a cheaper alternative than Storm Call, but only during the day.

Yep, pretty sustantial changes. Still not liking the underworld-like plot and the rush phase the DLC got.

I personally went with the Dawnguard; preferred the Werewolf form to Vampire Lord, and the gear you got worked better for my builds.

Is the Vampire side worth it? I'm still tossing up on what to do for my Skyrim Achievement run; never really ran anything with the Vampires before, so I was wondering if I should join the vamps early or just wait until the DLCs over to become one.

Vampire side is always better being Mage.
Specifically the Ring of the Erudite, shit's more broken that my ass.
I prefer Dawnguard playing as Warrior too.

If you are going for a mage build than the Ring of the Erudite from the vampire side quests is really good. it provides a flat increase to your magicka regen which can multiplicatively stack with other magicka regen enchantments. I think it might be the only item in the game that effects the base magicka regen.
 
I dont understand the "its only two lines" argument, are they so dense that such a thing goes both ways?
In the progressive ideology, progress only goes one way. You can't UNDO anti-heteronormativity efforts, that would be PRO-heteronormativity and that's a sin against their own farts. So yes, they literally are so dense that they don't think such a thing goes both ways.

YOU are supposed to just ignore 2 lines because changing them made the game adhere to their ideology which is inherently good and one of the only things they care about, but if you don't change those two lines or change it back it's a MICROAGGRESSION, literally one of the worst things you could ever do as a human being.
 
It's easy to improve on something that looks and plays like shit but this remake just takes all the old (shitty) designs and tells an art AI to make them better.
Did this improve on dogshit? Kinda.
Does it do anything beyond being a minimum viable product? No.

There is only one direction to go, Tovarich, and that is forwards. Forward towards glorious Progress. Only a subversive enemy of Progress would ever question if we are going the right way.
 
There are a lot of mods to rectify it these days, but I really hate the vanilla Skyrim Thieves guild, because everyone talks shit to you and acts like you're a retarded noob on one hand, but on the other hand they keep giving you all the important jobs even if you actually are a massive fuck up. Without doing the radiant quests there's very little actual thievery also. A lot of people seem to think the Thieves guild is the best one in Skyrim for some reason, but I think it's by far the worst. I didn't sign up to be an abused lackey or a nightengale. Where's my ultimate heist?
the worst part in that is giving up the skeleton key in exchange of a few shitty buffs, totally different from oblivion, they also give all the quests to you because everyone else has "shitty luck in everything they do" and you are the new face, seemingly unaffected by the bad luck streak shit since you haven't been arrested or killed whenever you go out for a job, isn't it something mercer tells you during the kalilah encounter?
before anyone muh lockpicking 100 that's not the point, the point is that the skeleton key is given away, fuck brynjolf.
Boethia is asexual; like Vivec.
Many gods irl doesn't have gender. Is just the being.
vivec isn't really asexual though but there are like two or three gods that have "picked a gender" and molag bal fucked at least one of them, alongside vivec but vivec is a false god.

he is a massive faggot and so are you, he is extremely toothless and doesn't say that all of the graphical changes are solely on virtuous because it's a bunch of retarded frenchies and SEAmonkeys that thought they could do better than bethesda did in 2006, same shit happened to WC3 with the same SEAmonkeys fucking up the graphics and animations because the thought they could do better, he instead go on a retarded spergout about cinema, democracy shit, blackrock, trannies and shieet, something completely unrelated to the oblivion remake situation.
since you seem to enjoy that faggot, tell him to watch this video before he goes on retarded ramblings unrelated to the topic he's talking about next time.
and before you get uppity, to reinforce my point i will point out the changes these retarded seamonkeys did to a image that had massive wc3 mapmaker community love which was BTNTemp.tga, the chink studio replaced samwise's face with one of their artists instead of remastering it.1745950393726.webp
