The lead developer of ambitious Oblivion fan remake Skyblivion talks exclusively with IGN about the prospect of going up against an official Bethesda Oblivion remaster.
At least Oblivion, unlike Skyrim, had actual classes (let’s not talk about the leveling system, shall we?) and spell making. Plus some really, really good questlines (including the main quest, and the whole Shivering Isles expansion was rad AF). The cities also felt larger than in Skyrim and the Arcane University was an actual university, not a random village school with 3 students. Role-play wise Skyrim was the weakest of the three modern ES games.
A few years ago I replayed Oblivion for the first time since it came out. I played a pure spellcaster with no weapons or armor and it was a goddamn blast.
I would just sprint and jump around like a moron while invisible and ignore most threats. Threats I had to deal with got vaporized.
That’s a little extreme, here at the fediverse we should strive to do better than reddit, so instead of asking them to delete their account, ask them to defederate. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It can’t be remaked for many reasons. The best they can do is fund OpenMW or give up their assets. Actually making anything from it is not only rebuilding it, but solving many ways Morrowind is fucking broken.
Why do a remake of the worst ES? Lazyness?
Bethesda, do a (good!) rework of morrowind, you cowards!

Oblivion is pure comfort food to me. Sure it’s a broken mess to the point where it’s best not level up, but it just has this serene vibe to it.

So much fun.

Delete your ENTIRE INSTANCE.

And I love it for how disfunctional it is.
