Sgt Pepper taught the band to play . . . Oblivion.

I missed oblivion the first time around. I had to look it up to know what you guys are talking about. Very unlikely I will pick this up since there is no nostalgia. I wonder how they are going to do with first time buyers.

I don't think I got VERY far with the main story and I can't recall how much of it I played. I do remember finding graphics very impressive. 20 years ago.

Watching the release stream. They have Wes Johnson (Sheogorath, Lucien Lechance, Guards etc.) who is really sweet (and knows many lines from the ES3-5 by heart, and it's also clear he's been playing the games himself, remembering characters, places, plots etc.) though quite haggard after a health scare and induced coma earlier this year.

So they did the gfx, and character models and animations and CHANGED THE LEVELING (they're saying it's a mix of Oblivion and Skyrim, whatever that means - I guess level scaling with caps?). Also you can sprint now.

Game is 54.99 (64.99 for the deluxe version that includes an artbook, soundtrack and some cosmetics - two armor sets and .... HORSE ARMOR well played )

don't remind me... so old...

and we'll have a second remake of Oblivion (all versions: special, gold, collector, vr, anniversary) before ES VI, for which I have, tbh, zero interest atm.

The price tag is a bit off-putting, but...

Also, physics in Oblivion are still jank.

I tried it last night for about 15 minutes (thank you Game Pass).  It does look pretty nice although I haven't seen the outside yet.  Apparently, they fixed the crazy levelling system so now you can make the skills you actually want to use as major skills and don't have to keep track of skills increases by attribute anymore.
