Oblivion Remastered
 

Is so fucking good!

Get it now!

hope they fix the difficulty scaling, playing on adept difficulty seems too easy and expert seems too hard, there's no middle ground. 40 Bow shots at level 12 on a bandit to kill it on expert, takes like 7 shots on adept.

Yay

I must admit I never played The Elder Scrolls. If I was about to play it should I play the new Remastered Oblivion, or the old Skyrim or wait for the new Elder Scrolls? Aren't they working on a completely new game of The Elder Scrolls right now?

base Skyrim with no mods prolly

Morrowind if you wanna go down the Lore / wtf is this Bethesda employee sayin here with these ingame books path.

Not really interested in the Lore. To be honest I always thought Skyrim looked kinda washed out and ugly. Even the Oblivion Remastered looks sharper than Skyrim. I rather wait for the new Elder Scrolls. What's its name? I mean The Elder Scrolls VI.

yeah 6 prolly wont be out till '27 or someshit though.

nostalgia and lore is the only thing the old games really got going for them.

edit:

I am not super confident in Bethesda's ability to create a good new game, especially after Starfield. It's worth noting that Oblivion Remaster was not done by Bethesda, they just loaned out their IP to an outside studio.

Haven't played the remaster yet but this sounds a bit like the higher difficulties on the OG, when certain types/levels of enemies converge with certain equipment. Oblivion had some pretty wacky buff spiraling you had to do to drop high difficulty enemies quickly, it may be tuned for that. Like 2-3 taps of a spell that tanks their resistance to frost before hitting them with an ice comet, increasing its damage by a factor of 10. Trivialized the game if you let it, just like in Morrowind, which led to Skyrim's no-fun-allowed spell system.
