    Anyone know if the save game files are compatible with the original?

    This game is a technical mess. Oblivion is top 3 of all time for me. I’m the target audience for a litany of reasons, yet I refunded it after 3 hours.

    It runs like shit on everything. Windows? Check. Linux? Check. Steam Deck? Check. GeforceNow? Check.

    As soon as you leave the prison it all falls apart. Hopefully the next few months of patching can salvage it. I’ll keep an eye on reports. Until then though, the console versions seem to be the only way it’s worth trying to run this release.

    Specs for anyone interested:

    PC running Win 11 23h2 and PopOS - Ryzen 5900x, 5080FE

    Laptop Running 24h2 and Mint Ryzen 7945HX, 4080

    Both of those should be able to run this game at 240 1080p, 120 2k or 60 4k and unfortunately none of that happens. Its just a see saw of random drops and stutters not matter what settings I use.

      I was wondering if it was just my 1660 Super being basically the minimum requirement. Runs nice when in interior cells; lose half my frames in the exterior, unless I use the Ultra Performance setting for FSR, which then makes the game look uglier than the OG.

    Creating new horse armor to lock behind the deluxe edition is possibly the greatest piece of video game irony ever

        My understanding is that they are included? Unless I read it wrong

        Edit: oh my god you’re right

          Maybe I read it wrong, but this is what I saw from the steam page so I’m assuming that’s what you get from the upgrade

          In my defense I haven’t had coffee yet

          Edit I think I read it wrong because for shivering isles it says included and on the right column it says deluxe content

            The text blurb just below seems to imply that the expansions are only included in the deluxe edition. The fact that it’s so hard to tell isn’t very promising lol

    I hope this means my Skyrim modlist is finally safe and they’ve moved on to milk a new cash cow

      Yes, I have already refunded it.

      Runs great until you get into the open world. Then it barely manages to keep 30fps on lowest settings while everything looks blurry and debateably worse than the original.

        Runs fine on my decently powerful Linux desktop via Proton at least. I was at like 80 FPS on high settings 1440p in the overworld. maybe like 50 FPS on ultra. In smaller dungeons the FPS was significantly higher.

          Yeah moonlight game streaming from the gaming rig to the steam deck is the way to go if you want to play handheld. That’s what I’m doing at the moment

    I’m surprised they’re remastering this one when Morrowind seems to be remember more fondly. I was around when Oblivion came out the first time and it was good but not great, Skyrim seemed like an upgraded version of the same thing.

    I’m currently listening to Sir Patrick Stewart’s memoir audiobook, and totally forgot that he was the voice actor for Uriel Septim! Quite drastic change in his voice these past twenty years unfortunately.

    The game looks gorgeous, but I’m going to wait until Skyblivion is released, just to make sure Bethesda doesn’t pull some bs and block the creators from releasing their passion project.

    Crazy marketing and release strategy for this one, making it just vague enough to inspire drama between those-who-believe and those-who-didn’t; from what I can tell, it has generated A LOT of interest, and the Steam numbers are super high right now. We might see more of these slow-leak-surprise-drop releases going forward, based on the success of this.

      Brilliant marketing trick: Keep people waiting for the next game in the huge blockbuster series for 14 years and they’ll be eager for whatever they get

    Taking bets! Now that it’s on unreal engine, is it gonna support mods?

    I’m calling that it won’t have mods and this is them shutting down future Skyblivion and Fallout UK projects without pissing off the fans.

    Slowly boil the fanbase frogs and they won’t notice that the creation club is the only option left. Be sure to buy their micropayment currency! 🤮
