Oblivion Remastered is NOT What I Expected!

Another crap remake

When you say "Hello my RPG lovers", do you mean hello you avid lovers of RPGS, or do you mean that we're your literal RPG lovers and we all make love to you?🤔

You can roll in oblivion ( old one ) also have souls system ( dark souls for humanoid and blue for anything else ). We can parry ripose as well, but we cant control it.

The original combat system was oversimplify ( arena and morrowind we have a move set for weapons ). The melee combat is just block, wait, attack and repeat it ( low stamina means low damage, so we need manage the stamina also we can fall on ground as well ). The power attacks are used for special effects like disarm ( directinal ones ). We can learn it in UESP ( best place to learn anything about oblivion ). GG mate !

It's not $60, it's $50.

Sepiablivion

I'm the same way with 1st and 3rd person I use the both

better wait for skyblivion
all bethesda junk and procedurally generated copypast content will be replaced with handcrafted unique one

The trees look dull. The trees in the original looked much more majestic

Unreal Engine 5. The engine of stutter.

me not like it

My only gripe about the game is the lack of mod support. I feel like thats a huge downgrade, otherwise its gonna keep me occupied before ES6.

Huh, playing two handead? Good to know they, both made animations slower and reduced damage, leading to two handead melee dealing about one third of its damage and higher dificulty, is in essence just cutting down damage you do, while increesing enemy damage, up to you doing one tenth and enemies dealing five times the damage on master, where two handead weapons really are no option, unless you want to spend 10 minutes trying to kill a deer, whit a twohander, while dreaming of dealing same 1% of damange to enemy health bar, you do against that deer, but to stuff like deadra, bandits, wildlife, really anything, as you as a two hander warrior are lowest on the food chain in cyrodil master dificulty and thats counting the deer, that i think got awey, whit 90%+ of its health. Well atleast my prefered playstyle of pure magic is viable, even if i Also play nord.

Charging 50$ for a game with loading screens, outdated combat and stuttering in 2025 is wild. They should be the ones paying me to suffer through this.

As far as it looking generic... I think that fits. Og Oblivion didn't soar in that regard either. Most of the games from that era don't really have a core art direction that grounds it In uniqueness. Mostly because they were chasing familiar aesthetics. I understand people thinking that the water color look was pretty. But it was a crutch for them to fall back on when they realized that many aspects of their game were ugly and they ignored their own lore abandoning the interesting for the recognizable, everyone in the early and mid 2000s chasing lord of the rings.

The leveling system is/was always really a problem when playing the game for longer.
I always need a tally sheet, so I can optimize the buffs on level-up,
but which conflicts quite hugely with just playing, enjoying and immersing in the game.

Everyone is saying dodging is brand new from acrobatics: It very much was a thing, just not particularly viable. The button combination required was weird.

i liked oblivion because while yes it can be easily exploited like all single player RPGs, this game captures Role play so hard its insane. If you are playing immersively, its fantastic, the quest designs here are so top notch that it makes todays games feel like garbage. This game feels like a game tht makes challenged thinking; many of the quests do no have map marker syndrome, and if you are like me who played this game at the age of 12 and coming back to such a beautiful remaster of it, its worth the 50$ asking price. Yes frame drops, and issues with the engine, but they asked virtuos to do something, and they delivered beyond expectation. I have not sat and played an RPG straight throuh like this one in such a long time, feel like a kid again.

Couldn’t get into the original Oblivion back on the Ps3 and later on the Series X. But this remaster totally changed that for me, can’t stop playing I just hope they fix some of the performance issues.

Better wait for Skyblivion....UE5 games are horrendous when it comes to optimization

A bummer you don't get to enjoy it that much. I never really got to play the og oblivion, so alot of the things you mention don't bother me. I absolutely love it.

Never played the first oblivion. I’m enjoying it in bite size bits.

I loved Skyrim and this is like a whole new world with a (in my opinion) more compelling story.

Spent close to 700 hours on og Oblivion, ans still have it.

Double KO! 🤣🤣

I guess they just used a lot of generic assets to make development cheaper and faster.

What game was that at the beginning of the video? Looks familiar 🤔

For anyone struggling with performance, stutters, hitches, etc. this mod is a must-download: "Optimized Tweaks OBLR" on NexusMods. Fixed everything for a LOT of people, and increased framerates, without sacrificing detail.

If they remastered the females faces, well,they missed the mark. Many if not all are just butt a$$ ugly, basically man with wigs on and a higher pitch voice! There’s just no way I can play a game like this with such “manly” looking female character (the human ones). Was the original game like this as well? If it wasn’t, then the devs are shoving shit in our faces!

I love your honest review. There is a lot of hype around this at the moment, but mainly from Skyrim players, who have not played Oblivion in it's original state. Like myself, you are familiar with the 2006 Oblivion. I personally prefer the original still. I always managed to play it successfully in third person. This looks too much like Skyrim's colour pallet. (I've played all TES games since Arena as it was on my first PC my unlce gifted me in 1995... and I really don't like Skyrim, so I dont want Oblivion to remind me of that game lol)

PLAY TAINTED GRAIL/ THE FALL OF AVALON/ UNREAL

I played it cant play it for more than 13 hours so its not worth it for me personally. The destruction tree did not get updated. Nothing to grind for combat is boring.

For me, I LOVED Oblivion. It got me in to moddi g and game dev so it holds a big part of my heart. For me, it plays like Oblivion... Just prettier. I like the small changes they made but I think they also knew the quirks were things that were loved.

Personally, I would have the stories (Main and side) of Oblivion, combat of Skyrim, and world of Morrowind. That would be my perfect Elder Scrolls game.

That said, this remaster is giving me crazy nostalgia. I feel like they did this right.

Regarding glitches from DLSS,
have you tried reinstalling last year December drivers?
I heard from some GPU news channel that it's common occurrence to have gpu problems due to bad code.
Newer isn't always better :(

Both your character and bandit died same time 😂

The original did not get me, this does, it is better than the original, especially the game world, in the original everything looked way too similar.

It looks f**** amazing and I do have some pretty high end gear luckily but it runs very well for me, the original was always a bit sticky in the open world so for me it's better, does need some work in a few places and hopefully I can get some mods that address a few issues to work

Hi mate. Input lag with frame gen? You gotta enable Nvidia Reflex + Boost! Edit: Oh wait, you had that enabled too I see. Strange... I had zero issues (until the latest patch, which completely disabled DLSS by mistake... they still haven't gotten around to fixing that...)

I think you are hooked because of the original oblivion under the hood. They don't makes like this anymore (or not so often, at least) and it is a bless (because we can be this great game again) and a shame (because we should not miss a 19 year old game as we do, meaning most modern games suck and have not improved). Great video

"You cannot play Oblivion in 3rd person". I've played whole Oblivion in 3rd person :D

I totally agree about the artificial difficulty.

I also went with a melee heavy build and was playing on the second highest difficulty. The combat was amusing+challenging for the first few dungeons then after a few hours in it just felt like a slog I switched back to adept since while a bit on the easy side at least combat is done quickly.

Otherwise i've been having a ton of fun, Oblivion is my most played ES game (got close to finishing Morrowind a few times and Skyrim never grabbed me)

Stupid video and opinion.

I honestly think they would have been better off using the graphics engine from ESO rather than UE 5.

When using frame generation make sure you turn on nvidia reflex makes a huge difference when it comes to input lag.

completed it in 2006, then played Sheogorath DLC in 2010. And in the end of 2024 completely replayed it with some graphic mods. And now I am so angry I didn't wait..... I wanted to replay Skyrim but now I am not sure, although they probably not going to remake Skyrim for a long time as it is still popular and graphics got updated with updates

orignal oblivion has blurry and to bright colors, is bad to play cause makes people sick.

The problem with the original was the boring Oblivion gates. Did they fix them?

Too much running around in free roam nothing to find and same old enemies. This oblivion needs either a mod menu like Skyrim or Bethesda gotta drop a extension to this game it got boring to me pretty quick.

No matter how the game looks you can't call this remake it is a Remaster, since they still use the old engine for gameplay logic and physics, that literally makes it remaster.
It drives me crazy how people still don't know the definition of remaster and remake and it's 2025.

Loving the Oblivion Remaster so far
