I mean, I have Oblivion, why do I need it again?
Just like they keep trying to sell me Skyrim "Special Edition" or whatever the heck it's called. I already bought it. Long ago. When it first came out. I can still play it just fine. You know, just like Oblivion. And Morrowind. And Daggerfall. And Arena.
I did my first Oblivion gate today in the remaster and it was as fun as I remember, but I have to be honest I kept going back and forth mentally today on how much of the full game I am actually going to play. It's no doubt a good remaster (although the almost washed out fields in comparison to the 360 version hits me like a ton of bricks every time I leave a city or cave) of a good game but I'm for sure not going to, or have have the time to play it for a couple hundred hours again, at least not anytime soon.
I will probably close all Oblivion Gates I actually see, do all main guilds and daedric shrines, do the DLC but I dunno' about beyond that. Also, despite what I said before, this combat after a few hours is really not very good, 200 hours of charge attacks and parrying probably aint it. We'll see how much I can integrate spellcasting into the mix I guess, but if you're not sneak attacking and using the bow I feel like you're probably playing yourself.
The fact that Expedition 33 is out in a few hours isn't helping either.
This remaster face lift is nice but I'm pretty sure Skyrim still looks nicer. 🤔
I just wish the colour palette wasn't so muted. It's a mad decision, everything is so brown. When I think of Oblivion, I think glowing green forests and blinding white stone.
The lighting is pretty incredible though. It's the first game in a long time where I've stopped in my tracks to stare at some uncanny detail, usually the torches flickering in the city at night.
Well the PC community will take care of that sooner or later, I have to contend people trying to tell me it's 'the time of day' or just implying I'm being a hater. It's still a very nice looking game otherwise.
Aight' so far Expedition 33 is French as fuck and I'm here for it, I just had a fight against a big headed mime and parried all his attacks and countered him to break, this is really fun so far.
