Oh Oblivion, how I’ve missed you.
It feels and I don’t say this lightly like getting to play Oblivion for the first time again.
That, praise the Nine, is not the case.
Valen Dreth is still shit-talking you from across the prison hall.
But there’s a second world here, too.
Oblivion Remastered looks good really good and… oh, it crashed when I tried to leave.
Beneath the fancy visuals, Oblivion Remastered stillfeelslike Oblivion.
A lot of voice acting has been brought over directly from the original game, complete with crunchy compression.
These people, might I add, still look weird!
Within an hour of leaving the sewers, I’m at a loose end and free to explore.
By the time I leave Bravil, the unicorn is gone.
Even that now feels silly, given how deftly Virtuos has preserved the soul of Oblivion.
Above all, I’m excited for people who have never played Oblivion before.
They’re about to discover one of the all-timebest RPGsfor the first time.
They’ll visit Kvatch for the first time.
Jump at the Dark Brotherhood’s bedside manner for the first time.
Step out of that sewer grate for the first time.
This isn’t my first time far from it but by Azura, it feels like it.
