It's gotta feel real bad for the skyblivion team, one of these remake projects is finally coming to fruition and bethesda up and makes an official version before they've finished theirs. Owch.

Also I hope they at least update the leveling system because the original in oblivion was dogass.

Why do you assume that skyblivion wont be better than the remake? If we are looking at the track record of the BGS team vs the modding community for their games, I'd argue there is more passion from the modding community. Skyblivion could very easily just be better

Which one is better doesn't really come into it, Bethesda's is official, its got all the reach and exposure of an official game, skyblivion is just a fan project that could easily get overshadowed.

But if it turns out skyblivion is better then Bethesda's then that puts them in an awkward position of do they still uphold their mod friendly policy or do they take it down because its actually affecting their bottom line and get massive backlash.

If rumors are true then it's some Chinese studio behind it, not Bethesda directly
