50 bucks for vanilla Oblivion with a shiny coat of paint? Why do that when I can apply the paint myself and use Oscuro’s Oblivion Overhaul and a shitload of gameplay mods?

honestly im enjoying the remaster because it doesnt have a million mods, if my skyrim and oblivion playthroughs are any evidence i spend more installing and debugging fking mods than playing the goddamn game
If you’re not modding it until it crashes why are you even playing Oblivion
Whoever did the clothing in the remaster has no sense of what fabric is. No dumbass, that is not any type of silk. And the “Velvet” fuck me…And this is before we get to the idea that different fabric moves in different ways. if you’re not going to try just make a static mesh ffs.
everything is way too shiny in most UE5 games and its especially noticeable with clothes and hair
Honestly my problem in many cases is that it isn’t shiny enough. Just no understanding of how light works on different fabrics.
Because hogs will still dump money
i did a playthrough of vanilla oblivion about 2 months ago (strange coincidence).
been watching streams of people paying/playing this new $50 remaster and i’m just… why? OG is eons better still - caveat being you need just a few QOL mods. and it’s not a, what, 120gb bloat with, imo, worse graphics (though admittedly i’m a sucker for janky oldschool 2005 graphics).
With OCO2 and the requisite texture packs (Qarl’s and Bomret’s) and the right ENB and weather mod it looks just fine. Most trouble I had was getting the LOD shit to work but it turned out I had forgotten the 4gb patcher when I reinstalled, once I fixed that my FPS skyrocketed and the crashes (mostly) stopped.
just pirate it
But then I can’t use Oscuro’s Oblivion Overhaul and Av Latta Magicka and use my favorite map replacer and specific visual tweaks that I dialed in autistically when I was 20 and refuse to change
the price and the filesize are obviously ridiculous but i pirated it and have been having a blast ngl. the original passed me by, was the tiniest bit before my time so i have no nostalgia for it and don’t think i could really get past how it looks. despite the absurdity, the remaster is an ideal way for me personally to get to enjoy the game. sure the art style is cookie cutter and safe, it’s not exactly inspiring, but it looks good. i don’t think i could tolerate the bloom and smoothness and oversaturation of the original. might be heresy but without the nostalgia it doesn’t hold up very well.
