@Renee- Hi! Does feel great to be back in Oblivion! Those guys at Beth did hang us out for way too many years. This game feels like the perfect lead in to either Skyrim or ES6. Are you planning to play the remaster?

The OG had cartoon NPC's- the remaster has flat out ugly ones. I do love it too!

edit- I really hope they rush a patch for the Starlight spell. It does not work in first person but does work, sort of, in third person. Strange.

And the game does have a dungeon map. I have noticed that if you zoom all the way in on the outdoor map. And then zoom again it switches to the indoor map. Crazy UI, haha

Not right away, thanks for asking. Thing is I still play Oblivion on PC to this day. I've got my modded game so dialed in, ya know? It'd feel sort of "forced" if I jump into another interpretation of Cyrodill. But I'm getting whatever Xbox is latest pretty soon, and then I'll want to get into Fallout 4, Kingdom Come: Deliverance and a couple other games. Maybe a couple years down the road I'll get curious about OR, we'll see.

... of course, by then I'll be busy with ESVI. Hopefully.

I'm enjoying everyone's description of all the changes! And it's so good to see you, WW!

I can tell you he's doing well, and enjoying the game.

I was wondering about this myself. I cast it and I’m like “uh… what did it do?”

@ Renee- Thanks for the welcome! I totally understand you not wanting to jump again. Getting those mods hooked up is everything! So much time and effort there.

@Acadian- You should look forward to what Buffy can bring to the remaster. Even the female Orcs are super cute now!

Well, this is very intriguing . . . I've been thinking about going back into Oblivion lately, but not really looking forward to the graphics. The Remastered graphics looks really awesome, I might give it a whirl.

@ haute ecole rider- Oh yes! Do give the game a go. The mountains are so vast and epic in this game. Standing below them you look up, and up, and up. Skyrim looks like peanuts compared to Cyrodiil. And there are other moments too, the dawn sun coming up near Weatherleah, the light flickering off some high branches while other trees still sit in shadow. Game is insane looking!

edit- @ TheCheshireKhajiit- Yes, that spell is so broken. You can switch to third person and flick back to first. Another way is to look down at the ground before you cast the spell.

WOW look at that pink-haired orc!! She's really cute!

Yes! She is super cute, hehe

Have any of you guys seen much rain in the game? I had a shower pass through Chorrol when I was there, but have seen little else since then.

edit- The detail in this game is astounding. Druja has a missing top tooth and the lower tooth fits neatly into the space, haha.

Oh, that shot of the Imperial City is so sweet!

I love the new combo of moustache and beards. Your toon looks so real.

Nice, is that a meteor? I've got those in my Oblivion. Sadly I've never seen a rainbow.

Baurus = dreamboat. What did he guess your Class to be, or does he still try to guess?

Thanks! They came a long with with hair options, that's for sure!

Baurus definitely got a glow-up. Althie a Nightblade! I want to have fun with destruction magic this time.

My dream with this game is if some gamer actually discovered a door to enter either Skyrim, Morrowind or ES6. Imagine discovering the reason the game is 120Gig is because we have two games in one.

Crazy!!

It rained for three straight days in Skingrad.

Nice pics Kane!

Yes, thanks for the screenshots, Kane.

Are NPC conversations still nonsensical?

All of that Oblivion charm we love so much is still there. That was the one thing that I disliked about Skyrim, playing hundreds of hours and no npc stood out in my memory. This game will always shine.

Heaps of new audio is also added to the game- new npc voices, and background sounds like wolves, owls, different bird calls. It really is an incredible remaster.

edit- @ Elisabeth Hollow. Thanks! My game has almost never rained for me yet. I will need to take a tour south and drop my Argonian in the swamps.

Adoring Fan for The Next Generation.

That didn't take long lol.
Reminds of this one video many years ago, someone posted showing the player going to the Adoring Fan on Dive Rock and telling them to take a hike and the Fan walks off the cliff. Sadly that video no longer exist anymore.
