Oblivion: Remastered

[rough bone]

I dont hear no bell, Yellow team

[versed linden]

Why are you so evil looking

You look kinda like Mannimarco, but like Daggerfall Mannimarco

[rough bone]

Because I am not a good person.

[buoyant crystal]

Holy shit it's Jagar Tharn from The Elder Scrolls: Arena

[rough bone]

Its ya boy. Here for the chaos staff.

We'll make Tamerial lit.

[versed linden]

What even was Arena bro😭

[buoyant crystal]

"You must not! The jewel holds my lifeforce!"
"...Am I supposed to give a fuck about your lifeforce?"

[rough bone]

Hes gonna look even crazier when I get my vampirism

[versed linden]

The only thing I remember from Arena is Dagoth Ur (the building)

[rough bone]

I remember... uh... nope. Yeah I got nothing besides Tharn fleecing the royal family

[versed linden]

Jagar Tharn is still more memorable than Daggerfall's villain

I bet nobody here can even name the villain of Daggerfall

[lilac orbit]

I fucking love modders just making my game run better lmao

[rough bone]

Isnt it Manimarco?

[buoyant crystal]

His name is Daggerfall, that's why it's called that.

[versed linden]

No

The villain of Daggerfall is a Breton named Lord Woodborn

[buoyant crystal]

Amazing name.

[versed linden]

Some think it's Mannimarco, some think it's King Lysandis, some think its the Underking

It's actually Lord Woodborn

And he is a Breton noble

So his plan is all a plot for power

[rough bone]

Well good for him, I suppose.

[versed linden]

But not actually good power

[rough bone]

That means he's tough right?

[versed linden]

He just wants political power

[versed linden]

Pretty sure he just has an orc with him as a bodyguard

[buoyant crystal]

The real villian of Daggerfall is me when I play the game using a character named "God Logbirth".

[versed linden]

But Daggerfall had 6 endings

Wait no, 7

Depending on who you gave the Totem of Tiber Septim to

[rough bone]

Is... is the Orc really tough?

[buoyant crystal]

He's tough to remember.

[rough bone]

[versed linden]

Your options were: the Empire, Mannimarco, the Orcs, Zurin Arctus | the Underking, the king of Wayrest, the King of Daggerfall, or the King of Sentinel

All of which wanna do some BS with it

All of them are canon because Bethesda realized that it's hard to make a sequel to a game with 6 endings

So instead, a Dragon Break happened, one Warp in the West later and now we got all those things happening

Imo the most morally correct ending is giving it to Zurin Arctus

[rough bone]

The Underking?

[versed linden]

Yeah

Because he just uses it to free his soul and finally die

As it's his soul that is tied to the Numidium via the Mantella

And he kinda just wants to die

The rest are all rather selfish uses of the Numidium

The Empire wanna use it to fix the Empire

The Orcs wanna make a new Orsinium

The various kingdoms want to kill eachother

And Mannimarco wants to be a god

[rough bone]

Sounds very elder scrolls

Everyone is for the most part pretty self interested

[versed linden]

Yeah

All of them happen tho

Arctus gets to die, Mannimarco ascends, the Empire is pacified, the kingdoms all kill eachother somehow, and the Orcs get Orsinium and are citizens of the Empire now

[rough bone]

Well damn

Hell of a plot line

[versed linden]

Orcs weren't playable in Daggerfall and Arena btw

There were only 8 races in those games

As Orcs were just monsters, and Imperials weren't a thing

Cyrodiil wasn't even really a thing, it was just called "The Imperial Province"

[rough bone]

Sentinel is... High Rock's capital? Or?

[versed linden]

Sentinel is in Hammerfell

I'm pretty sure Daggerfall is the capital of Highrock

[lilac orbit]

L remake my ruby ain't here

[rough bone]

I'll have my Tharn look a like punch the floor until it gives you one

[versed linden]

The consensus on those regions are: the Iliac Bay is much more centralized after Daggerfall

Because it was basically feudal Europe before

Especially in High Rock

[rough bone]

I gotta go back and history dive into Elder scrolls

[lilac orbit]

Found treasure

[rough bone]

Shit

[versed linden]

The signs were there all along

[rough bone]

Thats the good treasure

[buoyant crystal]

You're gonna inhale all of them in the midst of a battle.

[rough bone]

P O W E R

[jovial ginkgo]

never fucking mind my graphics are too good for it

[lilac orbit]

Fuck I was so used to playing the original oblivion I didn't even realize we can SPRINT

[jovial ginkgo]

fuck you todd

Anyway gn chat have fun! 🫶

[lilac orbit]

We hold more power than ever before

[buoyant crystal]

Mehrunes Dagon doesn't stand a chance now that we can actually move.

[versed linden]

It looks so stupid😭

[buoyant crystal]

Hey, I'll take over Skyrim's sprint animation.

Bro does the Skyrim Shuffle every time he wants to go faster.

[buoyant crystal]

Meanwhile me still at 35% downloaded.

[green bane]

I think they'll be happy

How fared you get dolce

[loud patrol]

not very far, had to stop when I had to go get kid from school

getting my 76 weeklies done now while I have a lil bit of time lol

[green bane]

Nice

[wispy wing]

Anyone try to retake Kvatch yet?

[lilac orbit]

I started download and went to sleep at 12:00AM, only finished at 10:30AM lmao

[versed linden]

Crazy

[rough bone]

Im dusting off the arena

Gonna run to Crowhaven soon

[versed linden]

Does the game come with the dlc?

[rough bone]

Yup

[versed linden]

I wonder how the Shivering Isles look

[lilac orbit]

Oh god the dead fish eyes

[rough bone]

Watch the trailer, you see it.

Its pretty

[versed linden]

Nah, I don't feel like it

Sheogorath looks cool I bet

[rough bone]

Hah, we don't get to see him. I'd imagine he looks baller though

Lucian looks great

[buoyant crystal]

Can't wait to reach my favorite part of Oblivion:
Time for a celebration. Cheese for everyone!

[lilac orbit]

God damn it, even Oblivion isn't safe from UE5's notorious errors

[rough bone]

I like how when you have your fists raised and slightly strafe back and forth you do like a... like a boxer weave

[wispy wing]

What errors?

[lilac orbit]

The usual memory load stuff

[versed linden]

Oh

[lilac orbit]

Had the same problem with it on Rivals, had to do some exploit protection tweaks and run rufus with memfix on it just to be sure

[buoyant crystal]

My man Sheo doing tricks.

[rough bone]

He looks great

[lilac orbit]

So far this has already exceeded my expectations of what Bethesda would put out, but it's really rough around the edges in terms of optimization

It cun run smooth like butter, or it can stutter not stop in the same area, or it could just decide to crash. Though that might be UE5's fault.

[versed linden]

To be fair, he was the best looking Oblivion character already

Partly because he was the only npc capable of growing facial hair

[buoyant crystal]

Imagine if you get to the Shivering Isles and there's a warehouse's worth of cheese behind Sheo.

[rough bone]

I will seize it

For it's power is mine

[versed linden]

Crazy

[umbral girder]

Knights of nine armor probably looks so good now

[buoyant crystal]

I rocked the Crusader armor in my original playthrough, so I'm excited to use it here.

[umbral girder]

I like how back slashes do more dmg and if you block an attack and attack right after it does more dmg too

Must have been what they meant when they said it's like eldin ring/ dark souls

[wispy wing]

I wonder if I can kill Umbra.

[rough bone]

I love punching dudes in plate armor down

[wispy wing]

I carry around Umbra for like the entire game lol.

Even finish the quest just to keep it.

[buoyant crystal]

Is there a lock-on feature like in those games?

[versed linden]

I wonder how Volendrung looks

[umbral girder]

Nope

[buoyant crystal]

Ah, guess I'm still playing mouse and keyboard, then.

[umbral girder]

All the weapons look the same to me they're just high res and not toy like so the same but better

[buoyant crystal]

Fight! Fight! Fight!

[versed linden]

Ah

[umbral girder]

No more round edged swords

[versed linden]

That armor looks so good

That's Ebony right?

[umbral girder]

Must be

[versed linden]

I don't know why they took the gold accents off in Skyrim

Skyrim Ebony armor with gold accents looks so good too

[umbral girder]

It has whiter trim

[wispy wing]

There we go.

[umbral girder]

Armors got regional differences cuz of the smiths

[versed linden]

What did it cost?

[wispy wing]

Not much.

I kept her stunlocked because Blackwater Blade kept draining her stamina.

SHe hits hard though.

[versed linden]

Oh okay

[mellow pine]

iT DOES

[wispy wing]

You just need to survive long enough to knock her down from stamina loss.

[versed linden]

Volendrung has paralysis in Oblivion right?

Plus health and stamina absorption

[wispy wing]

I thinl.

[buoyant crystal]

https://images.uesp.net/5/51/SR-menu-Spell_Knight_Armor.jpg
Spell Knight Armor has my favorite "Ebony" set.

[umbral girder]

Wait since the oblivion engine is still in the game does that mean you can use all of the codes like TCL tgm etc

[versed linden]

Its paralysis and health absorption, not stamina

Skyrim's Volendrung has only stamina absorption

[wispy wing]

Now I should go get Azura's Star, and I should be pretty much set.

[mellow pine]

Looks like the legion armor lacks a female version , that or devs went kinda more universal with some of the armor sets. Like starfield.

[wispy wing]

I mean it's a convex breastplate.

[umbral girder]

The chest is already so big on it it wouldn't make sense

[versed linden]

Yeah

[mellow pine]

but that legion one does look off compared to the other plate armors. I dont know.

[buoyant crystal]

There are console commands but from what I'm reading, not all of the old ones work.

[versed linden]

Bulkier armor like that wouldn't need other versions

[mellow pine]

Ah well.

[versed linden]

Light armor needs more differences due to the nature of it

As well as smaller heavy armors

[mellow pine]

Man, i give this remaster a 10/10.

[wispy wing]

And now I own the Waterfront Home to store my stuff.

[buoyant crystal]

Legion Armor does look pretty nice, though. I might run with that.

[wispy wing]

I'm light unfortunately.

Probably gonna go grab Dark Brotherhood for now.

[umbral girder]

Weird they call it a remaster when it's better than most remakes

[buoyant crystal]

They out here being humble.

[versed linden]

This may be the best remaster I've seen in a while, and I haven't even played it

[mellow pine]

Kinda wish the devs made the variants of the armors a little diff though

[umbral girder]

Literally the game was like 50usd with all dlc

[mellow pine]

like the legion archer/hunter set

[versed linden]

That's a great deal nowadays

[buoyant crystal]

Mhm.

[versed linden]

Especially since Oblivion has a lot of content

[mellow pine]

yep

[wispy wing]

I saw people complaining about the price and I was so confused.

$50 is amazing.

[umbral girder]

I like that it's a 1:1 recreation

[mellow pine]

59* if you have the deluxe one

[umbral girder]

Everything is where it is that I remember in the original

[mellow pine]

Now lets hope this is a success so we get a remastered fallout 3

Gods, the enclave will look so sexy

and the muties will look like a horror movie

[versed linden]

I argue other TES games need the treatment more

[umbral girder]

I think I remember seeing a supposed source saying they're doing fo3/NV combo remaster

[wispy wing]

Fuck it, I'll sell Umbra's Armour.

It's just weaker umbra.

[versed linden]

I'd buy a Redguard remake

[buoyant crystal]

Apparently they did something to the engine so they could re-use the code from the original.

It works to the point you could even port some mods over, like one that places a set of armor someplace you can get it for free.

[wispy wing]

And I have no use for heavy.

[mellow pine]

My biggest question about this remake is the stability and the ammount of npcs it can now take

[umbral girder]

Oblivion is good start

[mellow pine]

Battle for Bruma better have 50+ npcs in it

[umbral girder]

Morrowind should be next after the fo3 one

[versed linden]

I'm surprised they didn't do Morrowind first, considering it's often considered Bethesda's best game

[lilac orbit]

Wait, do we still use the same levelling system as the original?

[wispy wing]

No.

[buoyant crystal]

You walk past them and they all say the same voice line at you.

[umbral girder]

I'm not because morrowind has little vocal dialogue

[lilac orbit]

Oh, so I can actually put my major skills as the ones I want now?

[versed linden]

Oh true

[umbral girder]

They'd have to get a tonne of voice actors to read every line

[mellow pine]

HA i dont mind that. I just better get more then just 1-2 guards per city i saved.

[lilac orbit]

How's the new levelling system work then?

[wispy wing]

Yes, you seem to always get 12 stat increases that you can put in whatever you want when you level.

[lilac orbit]

So more Fallout-esque

[umbral girder]

All skills level you up now they got rid of the minor skills tab now you just pick a few major skills that level you up faster

[buoyant crystal]

I wonder if making your own spells is just as broken.

[versed linden]

So it's if Morrowind was Fallout

[wispy wing]

My performance issues can purely be blamed on my 7th gen CPU that I've been putting off upgrading, but it generally runs well.

[umbral girder]

Do the main stats get +1-5 bonuses like they did before, I haven't had any on mine when leveling up but idk if I'm just not leveling the proper skills enough to get a bonus

[versed linden]

Is anyone playing on console?

[umbral girder]

Me

[versed linden]

Does it run fine?

[wispy wing]

No, you get 12 "virtues" that you can put into any attribute. Albeit you can only put a max of 5 in one.

[umbral girder]

Usually

[versed linden]

What console also

[umbral girder]

Ps5

[versed linden]

Ah

[wispy wing]

Idk if you can get more thab that, but there's that.

[umbral girder]

There's some performance bugs

Like with reflections

And rendering

[versed linden]

I imagine it'll run a bit better on Series X as the Series X is slightly stronger

[umbral girder]

But the game just came out so

[lilac orbit]

Is it just me or does the new lockpicking feel more intuitive despite being the same system?

[umbral girder]

I had some moments when frames dropped while in third person in the wide open

[wispy wing]

It's more fluid, which makes it harder for me since I'm so used to the old stuff system.

[umbral girder]

What's new

Seems the exact same to me

Maybe easier

[lilac orbit]

It seems less buggy

Actually working when the pins reach the top

Also, more treasure

[buoyant crystal]

Dash getting the monopoly on cheese.

[versed linden]

Shivering Isles foreshadowing

[mellow pine]

Is it me or did the oblivion gates start to spawn right after you leave the sewers? I think back in the Ol oblivion, they only start to spawn after a few days pass.

[lilac orbit]

My goal is to build a pyramid of cheese wheels in the middle of the Imperial City

[buoyant crystal]

Hell yeah.

[mellow pine]

i keep running into gates right next to roads what the heck

[umbral girder]

Sounds like a bug

[versed linden]

I thought Gates didn't spawn until after Kvatch

[mellow pine]

hmmm well thats odd. If you run into chorrol by the main road, day 1, did you see a gate near the road as you get close to the fort with the khajit thief?

[wispy wing]

New players, go to Weynon Priory.

[mellow pine]

HA

[rough bone]

Good to see you bud

[wispy wing]

Talk to Jauffrey then talk to everyone else about assistance in the Priory.

You'll get some goodies including a horse.

[mellow pine]

but if you talk to the orc lady in front of the imperial city, she gives you horse with armor

[versed linden]

Horse Armor

[buoyant crystal]

Oblivion Remaster was originally going to be $20, but they added the rest to account for including the Horse Armor.

[versed linden]

Isn't horse armor only in the deluxe version

[wispy wing]

No, that's new horse armour.

Original horse armour is in the base game.

[buoyant crystal]

Deluxe Upgrade total is $10
$1: Deluxe Content, inc. Armor of Order, Weapons of Order, Armor of Cataclystm, Weapons of Cataclysm

$9: Horse Armor

[lilac orbit]

I probably shouldn't have tweaked the configs a bit before playing

[buoyant crystal]

What happened?

[wispy wing]

I found Dwarven Armour already lmao.

Always when I'm light armour.

[versed linden]

Why is Dwarven armor even in Cyrodiil

[wispy wing]

Because people brought it there?

[versed linden]

Weird

[wispy wing]

It's good armour, if someone found it why would they not bring it with them when they returned to Cyrodiil?

Tamriellic provinces are constantly trading with each other.

[versed linden]

Grrr

I will blow up all the Dwarven armor

[wispy wing]

Oh I remember Pell's Gate.

There's a girl there who always has enchanted arrows.

[lilac orbit]

How the hell does FSR quality run better than balanced?

[buoyant crystal]

woo Oblivion finished installing

[prisma glen]

Go talk to Gaturn gro-Gronk in Chorrol for some class dialogue

Went to type what it is he says verbatim earlier but got auto modded and muted for 10 minutes and lost interest in mentioning it after the mute expired

Whoever made that auto mod really needs to work on that algorithm the amount of free passes and false censorships I’ve seen is inexcusable, might draft up an anecdote to the bot author tonight

Yeah I found the creative team behind the bot drafting up a comprehensive essay now

[lilac orbit]

Wait, fast travel points are unlocked already?

[prisma glen]

For the major settlements and whatnot yes

Per the standards of the original release

[lilac orbit]

hORSE armor

God, this is just making me hate Unreal Engine 5

[drifting kite]

I need to know, is the floating paintbrush bug still there?

[drifting kite]

Fun fact: this is what started the downfall of gaming and is the reason for why micro-transactions are as common as they are

[lilac orbit]

Can't tell rn, it's being overshadowed by the microstutters happening every 2-3 seconds

It's very cpu intensive, the stutters are happening cause of shaders popping in while traversing the world

[drifting kite]

Whats your PCs stats and what settings are you on rn?

[lilac orbit]

Same as what's on the recommended page on steam

[drifting kite]

Wow those are some pretty low requirements to run it

A game being able to run on an RTX 1070 in 2025 is wild

[lilac orbit]

Some guys on 40 or 50 series cards are getting worse performance than me somehow

The game is either unfortunately poorly optimized, or requires a new driver update

[wispy wing]

I accidentally disabled achievements by using a console command.

Oh well.

[drifting kite]

Well the 50 series is kinda meh (5090 has a problem where it literally melts your cables)

Plus a good graphics card wont help much when the rest of the PC is a potatoe

[lilac orbit]

I'm getting pretty good fps actually

60 medium native and can get 60 on high with FSR Quality

The microstutters are just giving me headaches

Also, apparently the game's colors are off? I just have AMD software pumping all of my games' saturation up, so it basically looks like Oblivion, just modern without the shit filter

[drifting kite]

I think the stutters are because of the AMD software

[lilac orbit]

May be, but my CPU also wasn't fully utilized, had to change some stuff to set it to high prio

We're waiting on driver updates

[lilac orbit]

Pumping it to realtime cpu prio seems to fix most of the stutters, but mouse sliding is still a pain lel

[lilac orbit]

New problem, combat stutter lel

[drifting kite]

It really is like the original

Truly peak gaming

[lilac orbit]

And it definitely is a driver problem

Now I wish I got an RTX 2060 Super or 2080 instead lmao

[wispy wing]

Remember, Bandits for light armour, Marauders for heavy.

[lilac orbit]

This is painful

[copper echo]

Ive been playing on the xbox series s

Getting about 30-40fps outside in the world and about 60 in towns and dungeons and instances

Not gonna complain, still runs great on the budget console

[wispy wing]

I'd say that's pretty good for day one.

And I can sell stuff for 59% of its value.

Higher on NPCs with lower mercantile.

Might start collecting grand soul gems to turn into black soul gems.

[lilac orbit]

Any stutters on console?

[copper echo]

On the series s , yes

Apparently it's smooth on the x

[lilac orbit]

Guess I'll put up with it until we get driver updates

[copper echo]

Doesn't bother me tbh

It's a 20 year old Bethesda game, Remastered with 2 engines within it

The fact that it's even runs and looks good and plays well is great lol

[lilac orbit]

True, it is surprising

I'm glad to see that Bethesda didn't hinder Skyblivion whatsoever as well

[copper echo]

Yeah , they're not gonna interfere with their project and even game them keys for the remaster

Very very good of them

[lilac orbit]

Bethesda slowly becoming a beacon of hope for the gaming community

[copper echo]

Bethesda keeping Modders on their side is great, It's a win for everyone

[lilac orbit]

Btw, y'all getting like, polygons loading in when you enter a new area on console?

[copper echo]

I think this remaster might be a sign of Bethesda going back to being the company we know and love

It's nice

[lilac orbit]

Fallout 3 is apparently next on the list

[copper echo]

Not that I've noticed ,however when you turn around the lighting takes like 1 seconds to catch up with what you're looking at

But after 2h of playing it's barley noticeable

[lilac orbit]

Fair enough, just gotta get used to this for now

It's still day 1, no bugfixes and updates yet

[copper echo]

Screenshots from my play through so far

[lilac orbit]

I've got my game's saturation turned up through AMDs software

Looks pretty much like old Oblivion but better

[copper echo]

Im sure they will put out a patch before the weekend , they have 3 days to see what needs to be sorted and make sure those who install for the weekend have a smooth experience

[lilac orbit]

Biggest issue is the crashes that happen

Seems like UE5 bugs is the main culprit, as same with other games that use it like Rivals

[copper echo]

This is wild tho

Just the steam numbers on day 1 , a work day

[lilac orbit]

Luckily we got no classes today

[copper echo]

We will likely see those numbers go up to 200k+ this weekend

• who knows how many people.playing on xbox, gamepass, ps5

[lilac orbit]

My friends were tweaking asking how the fuck I already bought it, let alone have it installed

Bruh I told em last night I had to go since I was gonna watch the stream lmao

[lilac orbit]

I need your opinion, is this enjoyable, let alone playable?

[copper echo]

Thats rough

I thought the video was lagging on my end

[lilac orbit]

Also holy shit is that how desaturated the game is in reality?

I'm watching this from my phone rn

[lilac orbit]

These are the colors on my screen

Oh hol on, apparently amd just dropped new drivers for my card

Save my game please AMD lmao

[lilac orbit]

Yep, they dropped it SPECIFICALLY for Oblivion

I'll get back to ya'll once I update my drivers

[thorn steppe]

he doesn't look quite right yet

[copper echo]

At work, hoping my nerdy customers come in so I have an excuse to talk about the remaster

[errant cobalt]

He looks like shreks father in law

[copper echo]

Thought we had a copy of oblivion 360

But only morrowind

[lilac orbit]

Ok so the driver update fixed the stuttering

Now to just try to fix UE5's random freezing and crashing

[lilac orbit]

Well, this is annoying. I know how to fix my UE5 crashes, but Gamepass apparently won't let me.

[thorn steppe]

anyway to change look ingame after exiting the sewer

[lilac orbit]

I upped the saturation through AMD settings

[lilac orbit]

This what my game looked like afterwards

[thorn steppe]

i mean character appearance

[lilac orbit]

No idea

Hopefully there is since my hair color doesn't look all that good in the lighting

[thorn steppe]

yea same

outside

[copper echo]

My dude looks so goofy compared to your silver fox

Ready to kiss all the goblins

[drifting kite]

The goofy ones tend to be the most OP

[zinc zenith]

its so cool seeing all this hype around a game I played so long ago with potato faces but it looked (to me) really good back then

[drifting kite]

Tbf back then, that was like the peak of graphics. It just looks bad now because the standart now is extremely good graphics

If you showed someone whos only ever played Mario for the gameboy and never interacted with anything outside of that game something like Fallout 1, they'd also praise those graphics

[grim flare]

FOR IMPERIALS

[errant cobalt]

Nah even then it looked goofy

[rough smelt]

^^

[errant cobalt]

Like VTM: Bloodlines was a couple years earlier

Also HL2 was like 2004? So two years earlier?

[tiny brook]

I’m getting the game today hopefully

[drifting kite]

Still nowhere near as bad as now

[errant cobalt]

Like Oblivion Remaster is like the only Bethesda game that looks good for its time

[drifting kite]

Nah, Starfield looked great. Kinda mid game, but the graphics are good

[umbral girder]

That's how it supposed to be

[errant cobalt]

It did not look good for 2021

The NPCs had some serious plastic face

[rough smelt]

As much as I love oblivion yeah the graphics did allwas sucked ass

[umbral girder]

The running animation looks so bad ngl

Might just be cuz of my speed being low and his body moves faster than he does across the ground

[rough smelt]

I like it

[green bane]

The crazy bloom was so pretty when it was new

[rough bone]

The running animation makes me so happy

Especially up a hill

What is this, Shadow of Chernobyl?

[copper echo]

Just looked at my Instagram, my story is oblivion, next to mine is my ex's with her 2 kids

Different lives

[errant cobalt]

Oblivion is better

[rough smelt]

Is unquies still leveled in this

[copper echo]

Ong

[rough bone]

Id deffo take Oblivion over kids

[rough smelt]

I just joined the brotherhood but gonna do other stuff just wanted the armor

[drifting kite]

You know, its wild that that statement would also fit into the fallout games

[rough smelt]

Lmao idk if the unquies are leveled yet so I'm gonna wait til I'm a bit higher level so I getter better varients

[rough bone]

I deffo murked the first homeless person I saw during playing

Got DB armor like, instantly.

[rough smelt]

I murdered a mythic dawn member

[rough bone]

Hah

Honestly. New armor looks great

The hood is actually a hood

[rough smelt]

I learned who a mythic dawn member was so there my go to murder target sense they will just go arggo oh me anywas during the mainquest

[green bane]

Yknow the one thing missing so far...no cabbages rolling around everywhere

[rough bone]

You must liberate them

[green bane]

I demand havoc veggies dangit

[rough smelt]

Was skingrad the desuction mage school

[rough bone]

Yeup

Enemies Explode!

[rough smelt]

I needed some spell upgrades they aren't cutting it in the arena

20 damage fireball and a 25 heal spell should fix it

Aw shit it's the spellcaster one I'm gonna have a badtime

[green bane]

I'm so leggy I keep dying to rats and bandits

[rough bone]

Run up to the spellcaster and keep punching them

[green bane]

But...im the spellcaster

[rough bone]

So am I

[green bane]

Lol

[rough bone]

Fatigue stagger is still amazing

Real good to combo on

Everyone have a good day in Cyrodil. I got a buncha stuff to do today.

[green bane]

have fun

[winter bone]

Probs shouldnt of but power level sneak before leaving sewer lmao

[green bane]

xD hairtie one the joystick, sneaking into a corner while you're off doing chores or smth.. thems the days

[versed linden]

Bethesda has never been good at faces tbf

At least at attempted realistic faces

[winter bone]

at work lmao

[copper echo]

On break, time to watch oblivion tiktoks and wish I was at home

[mellow pine]

Honestly, i am waiting on a mod to fix that.

[green bane]

Why wouldn't there be?

[mellow pine]

Dang, we still cant get the palace guard set. I was hoping that was added in the remaster.

[copper echo]

Dont think the remaster is getting mod support

[mellow pine]

DANG! really? yikes

[errant cobalt]

Doesn't need it tbf

It adds a lot of QOL fixes

[mellow pine]

Nah we need a few mods unless bethesda adds those themselves

Like palace guard armor sets and the option to make glass and dwarf armor super rare.

I hate seeing thieves rob you for a few septims in frkng glass armor

[copper echo]

https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/69672

[mellow pine]

its aither that or stay level 1 forever haha

[copper echo]

No offical mod support

[green bane]

That'll be the nice thing about skyblivion at least

[copper echo]

Yeah both things will have their perks and own fan bases

[mellow pine]

time to see the rest of cirodyll. Spent like 2 hours in character creation.

[errant cobalt]

It's due to levelling though

Make it rare and you adversely effect progression

[copper echo]

I have 2h in the game and I didn't even think to go into the city

When I play tonight I might double back

[mellow pine]

yeah, just like the other oblivion. I guess il stay level 1 then.

[green bane]

You'll get there eventually. Technically you're an escaped prisoner, might not want to head right back lol

[errant cobalt]

Idk, enemies getting better equipment stops the one tap bandits like there is in skyrim

[rough smelt]

When turning up the difficulty is to hard but the current difficulty is a bit to easy

[umbral girder]

It's very surprising going into the imperial city and every NPC besides guards are named

And will talk to you

[rough smelt]

Just finished thr arena questsline think I might go do some dadric quests for some better gear and close some gates then do fighters guild

I was fighting some bandits and this one was randomly friendly to me

[magic comet]

White tiger go brrr

[green bane]

😮 copy cat

[rough smelt]

Pun intended?

[magic comet]

Can’t copy if I never saw your character.

[rough smelt]

Here's character who died

[magic comet]

The armor looks so good.

[green bane]

#1364278291279646760 message lol

[green bane]

That was a very messy battle

[magic comet]

In my defense, I’ve been wanting to play a 2H white tiger khajiit for years and was never able to because white isn’t a color in Skyrim.

[rough smelt]

I'm the arena champion know so I'm gonna take a little brake

[umbral girder]

They should have kept the slider

[rough smelt]

My argoian can finally be true to there name

[green bane]

I switched to a high elf mage. Never done one of them before 😄

What is their name lol?

[rough smelt]

Id be a vampire but having 100% weakness to magic and having a 100% weakness to fire scares me

[rough smelt]

Shadow-hide-scales

[zinc zenith]

Can you still break the game using enchanting?

Super jump go!

[magic comet]

My Khajiit is named Renji, which means ‘a pure heart’ in Japanese.

[green bane]

Aw he was one of my fave bleach guys ❤️

[rough smelt]

Are they pure heart tho

[magic comet]

Yeah

[rough smelt]

You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

[magic comet]

No, no. THIS is the real glow-up.

[rough smelt]

Seeing npcs with beards is still a little werid

[magic comet]

It’s nice though. All of those babyfaced Nords was weird since I played Skyrim first.

[rough smelt]

Yeah it is nice just wasent expecting to see them lol

[magic comet]

I saw Baurus and think my heart melted.

[rough smelt]

Npcs look so good

[magic comet]

Especially the men.

[rough smelt]

I was like "oh no he's hot" when I saw Martin

[magic comet]

The loading screen alone goes way too hard.

[rough smelt]

Yeah something out of a fantasy world

[magic comet]

This is Renji’s casualwear.

He’s a humble man.

[lilac orbit]

So, I've fixed pretty much all of my Oblivion's problems except the biggest one, being UE5 crashes

I know how to fix it, but my PC won't let me rip

It's being flagged as unsafe, I just gotta get it through the firewall and antivirus, but it won't let me modify its permissions rip

[proper relic]

So does anyone who plays on ps5 recommend the game?

[rough smelt]

Elder scrolls 6 is the remasters we got along the way

[lilac orbit]

I'm still waiting for Skyblivion

[rough smelt]

This remaster is hyping me up for skybilvon

[lilac orbit]

With the amount of problems I'm having on the official remake, I can't really call this enjoyable personally. It's more like borderline playable oof.

Then again, not all of us are having problems, so that's good.

[lilac orbit]

Yeah, if new graphics and better UI brought the game up this much, imagine Skyblivion.

[wispy wing]

What do you have, Dash?

[lilac orbit]

Skyrim's magic system still seems to be better than the remake

[lilac orbit]

It's on the recommended section on steam

My game itself runs pretty well now after the driver update, but UE5 still crashes constantly like all my other games

[wispy wing]

I'm on a 3070ti and 6 core 7th gen CPU and I'm not really having issues besides it freezing like every once in a blue moon to load something.

I had to fuck with the settings for a bit to get it look relatively nice and run decently though.

[lilac orbit]

It's really just a UE5 problem for me, like all the other games I've played that used it

[wispy wing]

No crashes whatsoever.

[rough smelt]

I get some visual bugs from spells keeping there effects on me

[lilac orbit]

The constant microstutters and crashes rip

[wispy wing]

Same but it doesn't bug me too much.

The torch + shield bug was amusing but you like never use torches in Oblivion anyways.

[lilac orbit]

The microstutters is a cpu thing, game not utilizing it enough

Once I set it on realtime prio it's fixed

[wispy wing]

I was thinking about doing that but I decided against it.

I generally get 50-60 fps.

Once I upgrade my CPU to twelfth gen it should run much better.

[lilac orbit]

I'll call this borderline playable, but it's not enjoyable unfortunately

So yeah this pretty much just hyped me up for Skyblivion

[wispy wing]

To each their own I guess.

[lilac orbit]

From what's online everyone had different experiences

Others ran buttery smooth, others got a buggy mess like mine rip

[wispy wing]

You have a 20 series GPU, right?

[lilac orbit]

I'm not sure what my gpu's Nvidia equivalent is

Though ironically I'm apparently getting better performance than some of the worse buggy messes out there

Even 30-50 series GPUs getting screwed over

[green bane]

I wonder if its 100% hardware or if there's a steam/Xbox discrepancy

[wispy wing]

Oh, are you playing on Steam?

[lilac orbit]

Not sure, I'm running from Gamepass since it was cheap lel

[wispy wing]

Ok nvm.

[lilac orbit]

$40 compared to $1

[wispy wing]

I'm also playing Gamepass.

[green bane]

Same. And it barely runs xD

[wispy wing]

Weird.

I know dungeon gameplay is smooth af though.

Which is absolutely fine by me.

I love diving into random dungeons.

[lilac orbit]

Dungeons are mostly fine for the most part

But the thing is the game mostly takes place in the open world

I can't enjoy the game if it stutters every single second I'm in combat, or every 5 seconds if I'm just roaming the world oof

[wispy wing]

Hm...

I've turned foliage and cloth quality down to low and honestly can't tell the difference.

Hair is medium.

[lilac orbit]

It really ain't a GPU problem I think, it runs basically the same on low and high for me

[loud patrol]

I had to turn a few things down from ultra to high

[lilac orbit]

It stutters all the same

[wispy wing]

AI frame gen sucks.

[lilac orbit]

Look at this shi

[wispy wing]

I'm not getting that at all.

Hm.

I have noticed that enemies are less perceptive in the remake.

The fuck could be causing the microstutters for you?

[lilac orbit]

I know what's causing the crashes, but the microstutters is just prominent on all my UE5 games

[wispy wing]

I do have my FPS capped to 60.

[lilac orbit]

Same

[wispy wing]

I'm not dealing with microstutters at all so I'm not sure why you're getting them.

That fucking sucks.

[lilac orbit]

I'm trying pretty much everything, same with everyone else online having my problems rip

[wispy wing]

Does Unreal not like RTX cards?

[rough smelt]

Did anyone get goosebumps first loading up the game

[wispy wing]

No I waited for the shaders to compile for ten minutes.

[lilac orbit]

yep

[lilac orbit]

Wanna know what's funny?

I've watched nearly all of the Skyblivion vids, and somehow most of these actually look better than the remake in my opinion

[wispy wing]

To each their own I guess.

I am loving this remake.

[rough smelt]

This remaster is alot better then I thought it was gonna be

[lilac orbit]

I'm not saying the remake is bad, aside from the stutters I loved it, it's way more than what I was expecting them to put out

[wispy wing]

Although I don't think it has the directional power attacks.

They seem to have changed combat skill perks.

[lilac orbit]

But the thing is it's not fair comparing what an official studio put out to a passion project by fans

[lilac orbit]

A lot of people did think that it would just be the usual remaster, bump up the textures, ruin the lod, make it run like shit, etc.

[wispy wing]

I'm not sure how much Bethesda was involved in the project.

The rumours about it being developed by a Chinese studio was partially true, but it seems to just be a studio that helps develop games.

[green bane]

https://www.nexusmods.com/games/oblivionremastered

[wispy wing]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuos

I might install that achievement unblocker.

Honestly the weirdest bug was an invisible wall showing up in the middle of a dungeon that disappeared when I restarted the game, I tried using console commands to clip through but that didn't work and disabled my achievements.

[lilac orbit]

The environment in Skyblivion seems to be better build despite the remake having better graphics

I'll be honest I might be glazing Skyblivion a lil bit since I know it won't turn my pc into an IED while I play lmao

[wispy wing]

Oh that's the place you get fingers of the mountain.

I think that's what the book was called.

[lilac orbit]

ye

[green bane]

Which are these from dash?

[lilac orbit]

Graphically the remake is way better, but I kind of like how the world is constructed more in Skyblivion

[lilac orbit]

One is my gameplay screenshots, the other is from the Skyblivion streams

@wispy wing u like the dungeons right?

[wispy wing]

Yes.

I try to avoid fast travel so I can come across dungeons while traveling.

Which is why I'm only level 10.

[lilac orbit]

https://youtube.com/shorts/LYSga4zjQoI?si=ByGUHtLei2uAit1M

[wispy wing]

I'm an atronach user.

Rarely run out of magicka because welkynd stones.

[lilac orbit]

Really hope this comes out soon, the official remake just makes me yearn for more

[wispy wing]

Also finding a spellcaster and letting them unload their magicka on me.

Imps are amazing for this.

Fucking Breton Atronach.

What is magic damage?

[lilac orbit]

I can't really be bothered to use atronach since I spam spellcast farm xp

[wispy wing]

You don't really need to do that anymore.

[lilac orbit]

Ye, I still like doing it

[wispy wing]

Which I like.

The best aspect of Skyrim is being able to play casually and not worry about missing stats.

That's one of the reasons I do like Skyrim, but not as much as Oblivion or Morrowind.

[lilac orbit]

I really hope Bethesda releases a fix on the weekend for the stutters and crashes

[wispy wing]

Tbf we still haven't gotten a day 1.

[lilac orbit]

Ye

They're gonna use the week to take note of the bugs most likely

[errant cobalt]

I mean oblivion remaster works the same

You level attributes at your own discretion

And you get better at what you do

[wispy wing]

Yes, but doesn't take away the choice in attributes is nice.

[magic comet]

That’s horrible.

[rough smelt]

I don't remember him not having hair in the remake

Reloaded a save and his hair is back

[errant cobalt]

I got that glitch too

I was wondering if I imagined him having hair

[eager sinew]

Theres 2 things I do not agree with in the Remaster

[errant cobalt]

Lucien's sudden hair loss?

[eager sinew]

HP should not Regen super fast outside of combat

And get rid of the red blips for enemies

[errant cobalt]

Red blips are in the original though

[eager sinew]

Are you sure

[magic comet]

Yeah, the original had enemy markers too.

[rough smelt]

Yee

[eager sinew]

Cause iirc when I played Oblivion there wasnt enemy markers but maybe im trippin

[errant cobalt]

I remember there was cause it always signalled the no travel message lmao

[wispy wing]

It doesn't.

That scales with your endurance.

[wispy wing]

It did.

[eager sinew]

I feel like my endurance isnt even that high and it regens pretty quickly

So now in between fights im encouraged to sit and wait for my HP to heal instead of wasting meds

[wispy wing]

Not fast enough to turn the tide in a dungeon while exploring.

[rough smelt]

^^^

[eager sinew]

Its free HP

All you have to do is not move

[rough smelt]

You can allso just rest for a hour and regain all hp

[eager sinew]

Free HP after any battle but I guess in Skyrim you had restoration spells right off the bat

[wispy wing]

You have that in Oblivion too.

[eager sinew]

Ya idk just seems like a weird decision to me

Like if I can already heal with spells why do we need this

Feels like COD healing

Where you get shot a few times and run to cover to heal up to full

[wispy wing]

You're thinking too much.

[eager sinew]

Maybe

Just seems unnecessary

[rough smelt]

Basically just a mage build or any build when low hp and need to heal

[eager sinew]

Ya any build really lol

But you dont need spells for it

Or Magick

[rough bone]

How we doing Cyrodil folk

[eager sinew]

Should ask my steam deck how its doing

[rough smelt]

"You're to pretty to worpship here" friendly goodbye

Got sufferhorn. Damage hp 15 drain strength 7

[wispy wing]

I'll do major questlines at level 20, besides Fighters Guild.

[rough smelt]

Its not the best verison of the dagger but I got my eyes on a different dagger

[wispy wing]

Ok, dropping soul gems still empties them.

[rough smelt]

That good or bad

[wispy wing]

Very good.

Means you can get shitty souls out of grand and black gems easily.

I'll probably end up hoarding grand soul gems to turn into black souls gems later.

Black souls are so very common.

[keen whale]

What i like about this remake is they kept all the original voice actors but added new ones, shockingly they fit very well

[rough smelt]

I'm working on dadirc quests rn

[keen whale]

Same goes for the music

[rough bone]

"Its prick is deadly, I assure you."

[wispy wing]

Meridia's scales.

Keep that in mind.

[keen whale]

The sprinting animations are cool for each type of armour

When you wear heavy armour your character properly tries to sprint

[wispy wing]

Back to Sercen I go to try to finish my Mithril set.

[rough smelt]

Idk if I'll stick with the dark brotherhood armor or not

[magic comet]

Akatosh armor peak

[wispy wing]

It's incredibly easy to get the different armour tiers in Oblivion.

Since they just spawn on bandits and marauders.

[keen whale]

Does the remake use the leveling system from the original game yes?

Or nah

[wispy wing]

Yeah.

[keen whale]

Awhhh

Time to wait for level 27 to get Daedric again...

[wispy wing]

Marauders spawn with leveled heavy and Bandits spawn with leveled light.

[keen whale]

I'll just do the goldbrand quest to grab daedric

[wispy wing]

So hunt down bandit/marauder bosses to get the next armour tier.

[wispy wing]

Not going to use it?

[keen whale]

No

Umbra for life 😼

[wispy wing]

Why not?

I often carry both.

[keen whale]

Umbra is technically the best sword in the entire game

And since it is a quest item it has the benefit of not weighing much

But unfortunately this remake still suffers heavily from over encumbered

[wispy wing]

Just increase strength.

[keen whale]

Working on it

In the original game I just found the sigel stone that helps me carry things more

[green bane]

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/48

[wispy wing]

That mod is not necessary.

Lmao.

[keen whale]

Meh, the fact that they kept arrow as actually weighing is annoying

[green bane]

But gotta collect em all

[keen whale]

It should be like skyrim

[wispy wing]

I'm level 10 and almost maxed out my strength already.

[wispy wing]

They seem to have made several arrows lighter though.

[keen whale]

That's my problem. I play Oblivion like Skyrim and I want to grab everything

To make a profit

[green bane]

Exactly! I need toncarry an entire general store on my back

[wispy wing]

Just grab the stuff that's valuable.

[keen whale]

Once I got my strength up it was easy but back in the early levels it was difficult

ESPECIALLY oblivion portals

So... many daedric axes...

"You've made a good bit of gold!"

[wispy wing]

Mercantile is still good.

[keen whale]

Mhm

[wispy wing]

Selling stuff for 70% of value at level 10.

[keen whale]

I'm so glad my old friend Norbert is still in anvil in the remake

Thankfully he is still essential too

So I can kill everyone and he'll always be there

Same goes for the dude that sells you stuff for the vile lair

They share the same voice actor

[wispy wing]

Bruh, I still don't have mithril gauntlets.

At least I'm making gold.

[keen whale]

Do gaurds still infinitely Respawn? Mm yes they do

[lilac orbit]

I can tolerate the stutters now but not without it giving me an actual headache oof

[keen whale]

Oh dang

Just trying playing the game via cloud streaming on last gen 😼

Its how I play both it and Starfield

[wispy wing]

I still don't understand why you're getting them.

[lilac orbit]

U using GeForce now or something?

[keen whale]

Good old gamepass

[lilac orbit]

The game in general isn't optimized that well

[keen whale]

Tru ^^

Atleast it has a FOV slider at launch

[lilac orbit]

It's stated requirements are surprisingly low, but even on 40 series cards it runs like shit for some

[lilac orbit]

Hol on how do I do this lmao

[wispy wing]

That's because 40 series cards suck.

[lilac orbit]

I'm on Gamepass too

[keen whale]

Go to new releases and you'll find it there

[lilac orbit]

How do I stream it though

[keen whale]

Dang

[wispy wing]

Ok merchants are selling elven arrows now.

No need to keep using dwarves.

[keen whale]

It can be streamed on mobile, PC and last gen but CAN be installed on Series X and S

I've only streamed it on My phone, i can't play my Xbox right now due to broken controller

But I'll test how well the game preforms on last gen streaming

When I get a controller

It'll probably be locked at 40 FPS like Starfield on last gen

[lilac orbit]

How do I access streaming the game, I mean

[keen whale]

Uhhhh

Doesn't it depend on what gamepass you have?

Ultimate and such

[wispy wing]

I can't wait until I'm level 19 to go get Hatreds' Soul.

[rough smelt]

Umbra is the strongest raw damage but there is swords that do more damage if u can keep them enhanted

[wispy wing]

Best bow in the game.

High fire damage and it slows targets.

[rough smelt]

I haven't picked up a bow yet

[wispy wing]

Plus it comes with arrows that do the most damage in the game and also soul trap.

[keen whale]

Tru but goldbrand's fire damage is very good

Both it and umbra are good weapons

[rough smelt]

Goldbrand is gonna be one of my main swords

Gonna grab dagons razor as my stealth weapon

[wispy wing]

Wait to do Shivering Isles main quest until like level 30 to get max level Duskbrand.

That'll be better than Goldbrand.

[keen whale]

Unfortunately I do not have the DLC in the,original game

So I'll play it first on the original

[lilac orbit]

When do y'all think I should start Knights of the Nine?

[keen whale]

Then the remake

[rough smelt]

Goldbrand is a cool gold katana

[keen whale]

Its gold too so yup

I like spellbreaker

Its better in skyrim however due to being a ward sheild

[wispy wing]

The only leveled item that you can't update us Umaril's Sword.

You can update all of the crusader stuff by putting it in the Stand.

[wispy wing]

Nah man, Oblivion's is better.

[keen whale]

What!?

[wispy wing]

Nothing cooler than reflecting a guy's spell back at them.

[rough smelt]

I perfer waiting to knight of the nine because it resets my bad reputation

[keen whale]

That's the problem, Oblivion lacks many hostile spell users

[wispy wing]

Almost all daedra are spell users.

[keen whale]

Meh, they are usually dead already when I use thunderball

That spell is horribly broken lol

I like how they kept the Oblivion spells just the way they are in the remake

And didn't try to make then like Skyrim's

Where you have to hold it down awkwardly

[wispy wing]

Dark Elves look so much better.

It's not even a competition.

[proper relic]

what do you play on?

[lilac orbit]

Pretty much the recommended specs on the steam page

It might have something to do with me using an AMD card?

Thinking of swapping mine out for a 20 series card or something

[zinc zenith]

I should test this, I have a 6900 XT

If performance on it is poor, I'll know it is likely driver updates that are needed

[lilac orbit]

They released new drivers on the same day specifically for Oblivion

[green bane]

Which they?amd? 👀

[lilac orbit]

Ye

[green bane]

Ooo maybe I can eek out an extra fps or 2

[zinc zenith]

Then I'll go ahead and get oblivion just to see

Out of curiosity

[lilac orbit]

@rough smelt would you call the official release a remake of a remaster?

[rough smelt]

Remake

[zinc zenith]

They change quite a bit?

Enough to be a remake?

[lilac orbit]

I mean, it feels like it's somewhere in the middle of a remake and a remaster

[zinc zenith]

Final fantasy 7 was a remake

[lilac orbit]

It's not like on the level of the Resident Evil remakes

Graphically, I'd say it's on that level, but systematically it still feels similar enough to the original that it feels virtually the same

[zinc zenith]

Probably, on the spectrum of games, a remaster

Mostly cosmetic and QoL for menus

The more fundamental changes to core systems the more of a remake it is

[lilac orbit]

Can we still use Rufio to farm sneak?

Yes we can

[wispy wing]

Sneak Attacks are weird rn.

[zinc zenith]

Download should be done in 10 or so minutes

Just started

I'm on 25.3.1 @lilac orbit

[green bane]

Ru...fi..ooo?

[zinc zenith]

What driver version are you on?

[lilac orbit]

I'm on 25.4.1

Patch notes say it's for Oblivion

[zinc zenith]

I'm going to try with this older one then that one

[lilac orbit]

Eh I just want to be able to play the DB questline like I always have

Unseen

[green bane]

I forget can you sneak attack w spells?

[wispy wing]

No, not in Skyrim either.

[green bane]

Booger

[rough smelt]

I think I'll try out vampirism plus I can allwas get the chesse cattle with the lair add on

[lilac orbit]

Sneak is now at 35

Unfortunately auto farming is a thing of the past

[zinc zenith]

18 minutes to complete last I checked for download. Was overconfident with 10 lol

[lilac orbit]

We can no longer run into walls rip

[zinc zenith]

Going to be weird actually beating oblivion all this time later

[rough smelt]

I gotta go off and explore and find dadriec shrines

[zinc zenith]

To think I was 19 when that came out

[copper echo]

I was 8

[zinc zenith]

A wee lad

[wispy wing]

There we go.

Saddening that this armour will probably never appear in the series again.

[rough smelt]

It was to cool for them

[lilac orbit]

hm

[lilac orbit]

I'm thinking of writing a piece for our ensemble, might do Oblivion's theme

[rough bone]

That sounds awesome

[zinc zenith]

Damn, compiling shaders is taking awhile lol

[wispy wing]

Should only be the first launch though.

[zinc zenith]

I hope so, dang

[magic comet]

The changes are big but not as big as some people are acting like. It’s certainly not enough to be a remake because they didn’t reconstruct the game from the ground up.

[zinc zenith]

This is why I treat it like a spectrum

[eager sinew]

Can you still do the tower re rolls?

[magic comet]

I love that you can still cheese lockpicking.

[zinc zenith]

On one end of the spectrum is FF7 remake and on the other is Spyro Reignited

[rough smelt]

I just spam autolock

[wispy wing]

If you need to buy lockpicks just go to Shady Sam.

[rough smelt]

The combat is changed

[magic comet]

Don’t do that. Just push up until it’s a slow one then keep pushing up.

[wispy wing]

Bruh just learn, it's easy af.

[rough smelt]

I got the skeleton key

[magic comet]

It doesn’t fall back down and is easy to make click.

[rough bone]

Fuck yeah skeleton key

Spam that auto button

[wispy wing]

Smh.

[rough smelt]

It's not my fault th lockpick it's unbreakable and there's a autolock button

[wispy wing]

Can I really not use the better light armour trainers if I'm not in the thieves guild? I can't remember.

[rough bone]

Get yourself a master chest and just spam auto

That good level up

[rough smelt]

Lockpick so broken they make you return it in skyrim

[wispy wing]

Skyrim lockpicking is boring.

[rough smelt]

Maybe they will go back to a similar style of obilvon seeing how well the remaster is doing

[rough bone]

Fuck it. Just use a spell

We unlockin' everything!

[wispy wing]

Exactly.

Options!

[rough smelt]

Skyrim making poor mage builds learn to lockpick

Skyrim did ruin alot of stuff

[wispy wing]

Ngl I'll probably give the skeleton key to be sacrificed.

It's pretty much useless to me.

[rough bone]

I'll probably sacrifice the sanguine staff

[wispy wing]

God they look good.

[wispy wing]

The fact that the game pushes you to sacrifice azura's star by default is fucking criminal.

[lilac orbit]

How's it running for you?

Also, is it just me or is stealth ridiculously underpowered?

How the hell did a headshot with 8x the damage from the blade of woe not kill a random NPC?

[zinc zenith]

Forgot to ask, what cpu/GPU combo do you have?

[lilac orbit]

Swapped my RX 5600 XT recently for a 6800 XT, paired with an R5 3600

[zinc zenith]

I have a 5800x and a 6900 xy

XT*

[lilac orbit]

The fps is good even at high settings, the problem be the stutters

[zinc zenith]

Currently set to ultra

Again, on the older driver

[lilac orbit]

U got fsr on or playing on native?

[zinc zenith]

Native

[lilac orbit]

Odd, my performance was shit with the old drivers

[rough smelt]

I saw a streamer do that

[rough bone]

I swear it's Azura hate. The star never did no wrong.

[zinc zenith]

around 30 fps native 4k on the old drivers

installing the updated driver now to test it

well, dinner first then some chores, then I test it

probably going to have to lower some things, which is expected

[rough smelt]

"I'm not a fighter can you please help us" dude is armed better then me

[wispy wing]

I'm going to max out my strength then focus on making willpower and agility.

Might make a spell that restores both health and fatigue.

Burning trail that looks like the new quest

Pretty

[zinc zenith]

have to use upscaling sadly

otherwise it is just at 30 or so fps

[rough smelt]

Is this a person you'd trust for a quest

[loud patrol]

he's got nothing to hide

[rough bone]

100% trust

He kinda looks like a dragon

[eager sinew]

Its weird sometimes I get 50 FPS on steam deck and sometimes I get 30

But I am surprised it runs this decent

Might try frame gen

[wispy wing]

Trust me, I kill Goblins.

[rough smelt]

I should grab chillrend

[wispy wing]

I'm waiting until it's full power.

Heh. Just keeping someone's mutilated corpse in my house.

[rough smelt]

Omg I can't find ghost juice I think I'll just go hunting

[wispy wing]

Check the basements of chapels in towns.

[lilac orbit]

Ngl I might restart my playthrough since I think my character can be better

[rough smelt]

Gonna bomb rush the fighters guild

[lilac orbit]

I'm viibn with the Dark Brotherhood

@rough smelt which one u prefer?

[rough smelt]

The remaster or skybilvon hard tie

[lilac orbit]

My only remaining pain with the remaster is the combat lag I get fighting in the open world

Fighting in cities, houses or dungeons is fine

The moment I engage in combat out in the forest all performance disappears lmao

[rough bone]

Having my music video moment

[rough smelt]

How do I check out the artbook

I got digital deluxe

[lilac orbit]

I think this would show the difference between a remaster and a remake

One took the original and made it look way better, the other completely reimagines the original

[wispy wing]

The dodge perk is interesting, I believe it was in the original as well but I never managed to get used to it.

[lilac orbit]

God, I have to fix my combat shit

It's very hard to enjoy a game when it freezes every 2 seconds the moment you enter combat

I know it ain't a GPU problem

Already turned everything to low, 30 fps and everything turned off except fsr on ultra performance with frame gen

[rough smelt]

I think that's why skybilvon is still gonna work

[lilac orbit]

Ye, it's not a 1 to 1 recreation of Oblivion just with better graphics like the official remake is

Contrary to what Bethesda says I think Skyblivion is gonna be Oblivion in its fullest form

[lilac orbit]

I will say, Skyrim magic casting is still way better than what the official remake has

Being a mage player I'm really looking forward to that paired with the spellcrafting system

[rough smelt]

I can't wait and hope I'll figure out how to download it both it's gonna be a crazy mod should be coming this year aswell

[lilac orbit]

Apparently it'll come with its own installer

I just realized they might also figure out a way to utilize the remake in Skyblivion

It's got more audio files with new VAs, they might make it so that you can use the remake instead of the original Oblivion so you get more voice variation in Skyblivion

[umbral girder]

Lol wtf Martin looks like Sean Bean now
