Shit! You are right man, I'll edit my previous post. Thanks!

I just remember seeing their name in the credits.
But I think there was some rumour that Virtous was making the Switch version?

Yeah according to what I read after a google search, Virtous did made the Switch port. I remember seeing people recommend that version over the actual remaster so I guess they really did a good job.

I think I might have found my first actual badly made quest: Tears of the Savior.
The quest is essentially a pixel hunt, so I recommend people look up a guide video, unless you want to waste 30 minutes staring at the floor like I almost did.

Coming back to Oblivion in this way has really highlighted for myself that fewer, more in-depth quests feels more organic and immersive. You do have to go looking for stuff, where as with Skyrim, it feels like there's a quest behind every tree, but also that everyone is wildly incompetent as they stand around waiting for me to come and solve their mundane problems. I might have to do another Skyrim playthrough once I'm finished with the Oblivion Remaster and see how it holds up now.

Amazing times getting to know Cyrodiil again. Just doing some quests in Cheydinhal and I think Im going to take a tour of the cities and do some quests before moving on with the main quest to pursue Mankar Camoran.
And the guild quests, starting with the mage guild.
Its damn nice how everything is in the game now, I believe you had to download each player house on the 360.

First time ever I've been spacing out all the factions and the main quest, bouncing between all, and then stockpiling side quests for when all is done.
It's fucking glorious.

About to splurge out on this decent sized cozy cabin in Bruma. Fully furnish that shit.

Of the long queer lines I've still got the thieves guild and dark brotherhood left, plus the main quest. Probably have about 35-40 hours on the game so far, and a large chunk of that has been walking around, finding ruins and dungeons, and just exploring.
I really like Skyrim, but it's just not as fun to explore for me. It doesn't feel as chill to me. Oblivion was my zen in 2006, and it still is today.

As of this weekend I'm at 35 hours and only been to Bruma and Cheydinhal and done a few arena fights. I can easily see myself churning out 200+ hours out of this game. It's just so much fun.
Such a sad state when and old game like this shows how much things changed. We have to go back!

Almost done with the fighters guild quest
Babysitting npcs made this guild quest line annoying for me. One elven ruin i went into with a guild mate had traps and it some how continually drained my health after he triggered a blade trap.
Then the dummy gets stuck on everything. So I'm running back leading him onward the whole time healing myself.
I've been thinking of skyrim alot too. Whenever the anniversary edition goes on sale I'll grab it

Yeah, the level scaling kicks in very hard. I am lvl30 now and basically everyone and his mother his running around in super expensive armor. Closing an Oblivion gate makes me around 50k in stuff.

This is the blueprint that Bethesda invented and CDPR later perfected. I still much prefer Witcher 3 but Cyberpunk 2077 does this the best I've ever seen. You never have to wait or sleep there's always something to do.

I don't have enough carry weight to carry all this loot lmao. And they changed something in the remaster. At these levels in the original I'd just get one shotted by Minotaurs in the overworld. I think it may be the level up stat allocation changes? But could be something else. Could also be I was a retarded teenager in 2006 as opposed to a retarded adult in 2025.

For carry weight I make potions. With 100 in alchemy and good alchemy equipment I made a potion which doubles my carry weight (250pts) for 5min. And potions are stacking and you can have 8 of them at the same time...raising carry weight upto 2000pts+. Till yet I never had to go to the maximum. But yeah its so much money you pull out here its absolutely not necessary.

I took a few snaps at that alter as well. UE5 can look fuckin' awesome when used right, even when layered on top of a 2006 game.
LordCBH

Much like in 2006, I've never touched alchemy in this game. What's a good way to raise the skill level of it? Just use it I assume?
pudel
Member
Yep, just make potions (you can spam it as well, when you have the ingredients). It was literally the first skill I had on 100. Its such a good skill, especially in the beginning...as you not only bring yr alchemy skill up, but also get either good potions you can use or just create them for selling and get things rolling. Around Skingrad are farms outside. Collect all tomatoes and grapes over there and create potions out of them. Its a "restore fatigue" potion, so not very useful and can be sold....but its ideal to level up.

I have a mod with every lockpick having a negative 20 weight. I have a thousand of these lockpicks and even with a normal capacity close to 400+ every day I am walking around some dungeon overencumbered and the poor horse has to carry my ass into town.
Regrettably my armored old nag got killed by a bandit archer that thought he was Legolas during one of these runs. After looting, desecrating, and throwing his corpse off a cliff I was contemplating how this was an occasion calling for necromancy (though sadly I never invested any time in it) as I walked my overencumbered ass back to Skingrad to sell off my loot to cover the cost of a new horse. I felt bad about replacing the armored old nag so soon but I needed another horse. I decided to grab a black steed in Cheydinhal so I could run around such threats in the future. Raced it back to Cyrodiil to get armored up at the stables but the extra weight made the horse slow so I decided to ditch the idea altogether. Time to finally head to Kvatch now that I have reached level 17 with the help of my conjured posse.

I still haven't got a horse lol. I really should as it would make things simpler.

I killed my horse accidentally when I throw a fire/frost/shockball on two monsters fighting my horse. RIP old nag!Friendly fire is a bitch in this game. But I never used it anyway. I feel I am running way faster than any horse.
If you do the Dark Brotherhood quest you eventually get Shadowmere, the fastest horse in the game. She's also essential so she can't die. Though if your Speed skill is already high enough you pretty much outrun everything anyway.

Will definitely go for the Dark Brotherhood quests as well.
Just finished the epic mage guild questline and doing the thieves right now.

I found that being selective in what you pick up adds to the enjoyment. When I do dungeons I usually only that special items and money, not the not the normal gear. So far this kept my money balance in check so I can usually just scrap together the money to buy houses and furniture.Yeah, the level scaling kicks in very hard.

Managed to finally get up to about 20 hours.. barely done anything. Disagree that the game doesn't have it's distinct visual style - yeah, the bloom isn't cranked to 11, but everything looks right and wonderful otherwise. The cities in particular look better than ever. I love the way it looks when it's dark or rainy in town, though it doesn't translate well to screen captures.

What's that effect you have going in the lower left corner? Never seen it before

Feather! Was dragging a bunch of garbage out of some dungeon to sell.

Wild guess: Feather (It increases the weight you can carry).

Even though I can carry up to 400lbs of stuff, around 200 of that is my gear, soul gems and alchemy equipment
I'm at level 19 and at this point I might grab the occasional big enchanted Dwarven axe, but otherwise I'm mostly pocketing any type of boots, greaves, gloves, helmets and any type of jewels or jewelry since they weigh the least and I'm able to stockpile a bunch.
Then sell em all of and make a killing.

Thats bad...but I mean the game clearly explains (has its own little quest even) how this chest works. Just put ingredients in and they double up after 24hrs. (works only with ingredients) If not taken out after a week everything gets destroyed.Put the majority of my gear in the enchanted chest in the arch mages quarters... now its all gone beware
Also I have to say the Arch mage room is nothing compared to the glorious Frostcage Spire Tower!
I mean its more for magic related characters, but it must have been the best view of all properties in the game. If you never visited it....just go there and have a look. Either lockpick it or find the key outside in a small camp...and the Tower is yours.

Water hoppin!
Found a cave full of bears
Bros don't sleep on the Lifting The Vale quest. Speak to the countess in Bruma.
Oblivion does the sidequests SO much better than Skyrim.
that's a beautiful reshade. can you share which one you are using and any tweaks you made?More shots on PC with Reshade, the atmosphere is insanely good
