Bethesda is teasing this one tomorrow.  https://www.dualshockers.com/bethesda-oblivion-remaster-tomorrow-possible-release-date/

Seen some leaked screenshots on Twitter, and it looks pretty damn impressive.  It's clearly a full-on remake and not a remaster.
I was waiting for a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.

Looking forward to this.  I just recently tried Oblivion out after picking it up for some chicken feed on GoG and it holds up pretty well already IMO.  I mean it's no Skyrim and the inventory system is a little simplistic but got a feeling I'll be picking this one up to add to my catalog of games without enough time to play!

Same here, I haven't played it in ages and I've long since lost the disc I got when it first came out.  I'm looking forward to toying around with the fiddly character creator and more old-school RPG mechanics that went by the wayside for Skyrim.

Yeah there's something kinda charming that Morrowind and Oblivion have that feels like it's missing from Skyrim.  Or maybe I just haven't gotten far enough into Skyrim.  These games are obviously huge time sinks and I've really only dabbled with Morrowind and Skyrim (and the couple hours I mentioned with Oblivion).

In honor of the remake likely getting announced tomorrow, I picked up Oblivion on GOG for 5 bucks and made a classically hideous character.

Meet Grog the Barbarian.  Grog doesn't understand the value of coin.  He only understands the power of steel.  I plan to roleplay this guy through the whole story (or until I get bored) as the biggest, strongest dumbass in the land.

If you offer him gold as a reward for his service, he'll say "Grog no need shiny coins. Grog need steel."  And if you try to explain to him that you can bring coins into town and exchange them for weapons and armor, he'll probably just bash your head in for using big words.





And here he is after I got him properly geared up.

The remaster is out today!  Color me shocked, I thought for sure they'd announce a June or July release.

I'm surprised it released! Also surprised no discount incentives for owning other Elder Scrolls games. Good news anyway!

Yeah I wishlisted it but there's no way I'm paying $50 right now with all the unplayed stuff I have already collecting dust.  I'll definitely be snagging this on a sale though -- can't ever have too many unplayed games as long as you get em cheap!!   :grin:

Haven't fired it up yet, but I'm really glad to see the character creator is just as unhinged as ever.  Some findings from Twitter.

Yeah, I'm not paying $50.  But I will purchase once it goes on sale.  IRT unplayed games: I fired up Baldur's gate for the first time last week, and I purchased it when it came out.  I need help.....

How does Oblivion compare to Skyrim? I never played Oblivion.
