Oblivion Remastered |OT| Kvatching up with an old hero

Is the PS5 rest mode broken for someone else here? Dunno why but the game clock keeps running when I put the PS5 on rest. My game time is already at 150 hours… But I actually only played around 15 hours.
 
So it did the kvatch quest kind early. I'm level 2. Should I have saved this for later? I saw an oblivion gate in the wild. Should I load an earlier save or whatever it doesn't really matter. Crazy it's like the 3rd step in the main quest!

Using DLSS and have awful ghosting an objects when panning the camera or moving. Most noticeable when using a bow or when moving past foliage, its a big fucking smear of textures and looks terrible. When I went to display options, game just straight up crashed.

As much as I absolutely adore Oblivion, this is now starting to test my patience. 5 crashes in 10 hours, it might not sound too much but when you run the same dungeon twice it starts to become frustrating.

Fix your fucking shit Bethesda/Virtuous!

Steam or GP? Do XESS or FSR exhibit the same issue?

The ghosting seems to be more related to Lumen than anything else.
 
For those playing on PC what do you have your SDR content brightness set to? I just realized that affects the brightness of the game since it doesn't support HDR. Is there a way to calibrate this or do you just set it to whatever you think looks best?

The first hour was pure joy, then after three more hours I wanted to quit, because speaking to people in towns felt pointless as they all said the same things and nobody had side quests for me, but now I'm fifteen hours in with more quests than I can manage and staying up late to play more haAhaHAhahA

It takes a while to get used to as you don't get given a laundry list of quests by just walking past people talking like in Fallout 4 or Starfield.

The best way I've found to unlock quests in towns is to spend a few days living there, talking to each npc until they view you favourably and give you some information.

I've just finished the Thieves Guild. Now I'm going to do the above for everything else.
 
Hmmm. Can't seem to get 'The Brotherhood Betrayed' side quest progressing. Nobody will speak to me in the house with the body, I've searched the body, I've spoke to everyone in the town, I've been at the Inn. The compass leads me back to the first house with the body (green - speak to person - but nobody speaks), and as soon as I enter it turns red to lead me back outside.

Bugged?

I'm using Special K to force DLSS auto exposure, and have also forced DLSS 4 preset J via inspector. It pretty much gets rid of the ghosting.

If you've talked to everyone and some options stll show like they haven't been exhausted, you might need to raise that person's disposition to 70 to get further stuff.

If not, exit the area, go somewhere and fast forward the time a couple of in-game days and return.

I've raised dispositions on everyone I can. I'll try the fast forward approach!

I waited to i was around level 12 or so. I just hadn't gotten there and everyone got wrecked. Saw all the memes about how all the soldiers are God tier but I waited way too long to go there. Oops. Those bigger daemons were bastards at 1st. Now I'm level 21 so I can deal with them

Few questions, I'm about 10 hours in.

I've mainly been focusing the main story to see if I can roll credits on an ES game for once.

That said is there a "point of no return" I need to watch out for at all if I wanted to do specific side content?

Can I be locked out of certain quests if I progress the main story too far?

Where do I get the deluxe edition armor?

I went with being an archer. I'm curious how armor works in this game. I assume light armor sets are my best bet and never use heavy even if it looks super sexy?

How do I enchant gear?

Can I craft equipment? If so, how?

I just figured out a novice mortar lets me do alchemy. Any other items I should get?

Is strength a must stat in all builds just to have inventory?

—-

Lastly, I'm on ps5 pro and when I did my first oblivion gate in performance mode the game really shit the bed fps wise throughout. Has there been any confirmation of the benefits of quality mode and is it more stable?

I did notice that mocap and lip sync seem to be fucked up in performance mode. Lips often don't match up or are over stretched, yet in 30 fps it's perfect.

Thanks in advance to anyone that tackles this stuff to answer a noob to the franchise.
 
I also have a question. Do i need to clear out the Oblivion gates? I came across some of them while traveling but i always leave them behind.

All questlines in Oblivion are safe to do at any time, they don't overlap or mess up other guild quests. Though there are benefits of for example doing all the mage's guild quests before doing thieves guild quests, because couple of the thieves guild quests become way easier then.

The new deluxe armors are unlocked via quests. They should become available quite early on.

Heavy armor slows you down more but also gives more defense and has more health, so you don't need to fix it as often. At lv.100 heavy armor no longer slows you down, making you as nimble as with light armor.
Light armor gives less defense and has less health but never slows you down and weights less. At lv 100 light armor gives more defense, pairing it up with heavy armor pretty much.
So if you were to have both light and heavy armor at 100, there's not much of a difference in which one you use.

There's no armor or weapon crafting in Oblivion.

You can enchant armor and weapons via enchantment altars which you gain access to via mage's guild or from the player home frostcrag spire.
Best enchantments come from sigils stones however, which you get from closing oblivion gates. At lv.17 you get the best version of the sigil stone. The sigils stone you get is randomized so it's best to save right before closing the gate and reloading if you don't get the correct sigil stone.
Also all oblivion gates close after playing through the main story, so take that into consideration.

Strength increases your carry limit and the dmg you deal with blades, axes, maces and hand to hand
Agility increases your dmg with bows, daggers and shortswords.

You get an item called a sigil stone for completing them you can use to enchant weapons and armour without using an enchantment table, each sigil stone has different enchantment effects

My advice dont bother with the mq.too.much
 
The one thing I like about Oblivion, over Skyrim, is that you need to use the grey matter a lot more to progress with certain quests. It has that old-school, 'here's a clue, go and figure it out yourself' kind of vibe. I feel like this has been lost in most modern RPGs. An early example is figuring out where to go by following the clues from 4 books. I always enjoy a eureka moment in a game.

It certainly beats brainlessly following a waypoint to every destination. It can be frustrating at times though, I've used a guide for one quest as I had no idea whether I was just lost or it was Bethesda jank.

The Witcher 3 also becomes a lot better when you get rid of the hud and just use the little compass. You actually pay attention to the scenery instead of staring at a minimap.

Yeah there was one quest where I was stuck so I googled it and it turns out you have to step on these rows of floor switches in a specific order in order to get the door to open and I was like "How could I have possibly known that lol"

Yeah it's not perfect, the final thieves guild quest might as well have been an FFX cloister dungeon (and I don't mean the easy ones).

Beat that quest a couple of days ago, it was definitely frustrating. Don't remember being so bad when I played it on the 360, but that was years ago.

There was most likely some book or writing on the wall with some very vague hints. ;)

That's actually the quest I was talking about. I had no idea how to fire the arrow. Not to mention I had just naruto ran through the entire dungeon because of the insane amount of high level enemies in there.

Was half kidding. I love these old games with their sometimes complete ridiculous riddles and puzzles. When you play them nowadays....I am also always thinking...how did we manage these games 20-30 years ago without internet. Do we really get dumber and dumber!? :messenger_grimmacing_

You probably did the smart thing, because fighting everything and making sure I didn't aggro over 3 enemies at a time, lengthens the quest almost 2-3x and it didn't feel worth it.

On top of that if you enter the next room wrong (post dungeon room) you will insta-alert the city guards, which will inevitably lead to a mission failure if any blind monk spots you. So I had to reload my prior autosave a while back because I didn't know this was an issue.
 
No idea why, but these enhanced visuals.. the world just "feels" so much bigger because of it somehow to me. I just played through this game again 1.5 years ago or less, so it's fresh in my mind.
 
Was sleeping in the game and got bit by a vampire. Should I just roll with it?

Looked up some vids and it seems a bit of a mixed bag on if you should cure it or embrace it.

what a bummer since I feel in my head narrative saving him and letting him chill in the base up north was going to be my kick off point to fuck around

Hmm, maybe I'll couch this till I finish expedition 33 and come back fresh. Hopefully some patches and a color correction will be ready by that time.
