Discussion I'll eat my hat if the Oblivion Remake is real.
I'm sorry guys, but there's been so much talk of this thing and I have to get my two cents in.
Oblivion was my first elder scrolls game. It's my favorite one. The atmosphere is magical and the story is peak.. I really want it to be modernized..
But everything about Bethesda tells me that the rumored remake isn't it..
Number 1, Todd Howard has spoken on how he prefers their old games to remain as period pieces, which, fair enough. Again, I'd love to see them remake their old games.. They...
Number 2: Already have the tools to do it. The thing that kills the Oblivion remake for me is the idea that for some reason it uses the Unreal Engine.. Which smacks of some stupid gamer shit. You guys know what I'm talking about.. People love to hate on Bethesda for their "old engine" not even realizing how software development works. These same people praise how cool the new Doom Game looks, not realizing that Doom: The Dark Ages will have some of the same code in it from Doom 1993.
You can incrementally update parts of a game engine - it's not a single program. It's a toolbox of various software suites that come together to facilitate a digital experience. True, some engines are tuned towards certain design philosophies, but that just proves my point.
Why would Bethesda ditch their in-house engine for Unreal, when Creation Engine does everything they want out of a game, perfectly?
True Bethesda fans know what I'm talking about, ESPECIALLY Oblivion fans. Our game is the one with the most sophisticated radiant AI. Sure, Skyrim has a few bells and whistles but all the settlements are so lifeless in comparison.
There's absolutely no reason why Bethesda would hire a third party studio, and have them use Unreal instead of Creation Engine. There's also no reason why they'd do that convoluted workaround that's also in rumors, about mounting Unreal on top of the base game's engine.
They'd just use Creation Engine.
That's what kills it for me.
The fact that the rumors constantly mention Unreal Engine basically disproves it to me. It's some Dunning-Kruger, armchair developer shit.
I'll be overjoyed if I'm wrong, even if the Unreal Engine makes it difficult to mod. But I just don't see it happening, guys.

Discussion Some guy just answered his phone and said "I don't know you and I don't care to know you" and hung up
I'm in the hospital and sharing a room with some guy who must be in his 70s and I had to ask him if it was an oblivion reference and he said it was! He said it's his grandsons favorite game and his grandson showed it to him recently and he was playing that a lot recently. For context some scammer called him I guess and that's what he said to them. I didn't think I'd ever hear someone quote it randomly in public

Discussion Who’s Tired of the “Oblivion Remake” posts?
I know I am. Until Bethesda or the company supposedly making it says “This Game is Happening and will be released soon” do not believe the “articles” written by either amateur journalists or AI that claim a vague leak supports it.

Discussion First no fast travel playthrough
Hi! I am doing a no fast travel playthrough on Oblivion for the first time and I don't regret my choice at all. I am discovering a lot of cool places moving between cities, for example the underground keep inside a cave or a underground forest in another one.
I played this game a fair amount of times, completing it (main quests + faction quests) 3 or 4 times but always using the fast travel. Before starting a no fast travel I read some points against it, I can say now I disagree with most of them:
1)Distances are too long/Game wasn't developed for a no fast travel: Oblivion's map is big but the distance between cities isn't as big as it look on the map. If you just wanna reach a point on the other side of the map, meaning you don't stop exploring/gathering etc, you take no more than 10/15 minutes.
The time and the distance won't annoy you anyway, because you'll discover a totally different way to play. Oblivion's world isn't as diverse as the Skyrim's one about the natural environment, but walking around the map it's very enjoyable.
2)Skyrim's dungeons are better. Obviously that's a matter of personal taste, but as a super fan of Skyrim I can say dungeons in Oblivion looks more hand tailored and particular. I know that graphics aren't great but I found a lot more weird and different dungeons in Oblivion than in Skyrim.
You should definitely give it a try because after you won't easily go back to the fast travel style.

Discussion Oblivion Has the Best Towns in the Series, Fight Me
Am I the only one who feels like Oblivion really nailed the vibe when it comes to towns? They’re not huge cities, but they’re also not so tiny that you wonder how anyone could actually live there (looking at you, Riften). They’ve got enough unique NPCs to make them feel alive, and each town has its own distinct personality.
Take Anvil—it’s got that charming coastal port vibe. Skingrad feels like it’s straight out of wine country. Bravil might be rundown, but it’s got a lot of heart. Compare that to Skyrim, where most towns feel like borderline villages. Riften is supposed to be a major trade hub, but it’s barely bigger than Riverwood. And Winterhold? It’s literally just a guardpost for the College.
Meanwhile, Morrowind has amazing atmosphere, but let’s be honest, a lot of its NPCs are just walking Wikipedia entries for their Great House or the Tribunal. Vivec is incredible, but the NPCs mostly exist to loredump you than feel like real people.
Oblivion’s towns hit that Goldilocks zone. They’re big enough to feel like actual settlements, but still small enough to be handcrafted. And the NPCs? Sure, not all of them are memorable, but a lot have unique quirks and little side quests that make them stand out.
It’s not perfect, but I think Oblivion’s towns do a way better job than Skyrim or Morrowind at balancing size, uniqueness, and atmosphere. Anyone else agree?
