a bit too repetitive

dub people really destryed the dialogues

its not bad, but its just a mess of bad writing.
the level designs are not bad, but thats the strong part of the game
the rest just falls flat. you can clearly see despite more budget most of the money was squandered and in the end its just almost the same game size but its all hidden. you could clearly see that the game was going to be about missions, but then they had to cut down.
Double fine more like double out of their league

short and good

game does not work in 4k monitors and does not have windowed mode or other video settings, awful port of a game just made for consoles with the bare minimum effort, also the combat scene is pretty barebones despite the visual novel part being so good

needs more polish and less walking, the ideas are great, but theres too much useless areas and not enough polish. presentation and art design lack a lot of polish but the heart is there, it just needs to pivot or prototype with itself till it finds the hook.

so far only thing missing is the ai being able to destroy hide spots or set traps

pros:
- raider/looter ai is nice, they patrol areas and respawn together with some loot so you can farm and train stealth on them. the ai talks and coordinates with each other while trying to warn the player to go away. also the melee ones being wary if you aim at them
-it autosaves everytime you leave combat
-loot has a white outline highlighting it from the cluttered background. avoiding the problem of too much visual culter, you know you just need to get close and look around.
-small enemies become a swarm, its a solution for having critters as enemies and not just making them big
-stamina makes sense, its actually your heart rate and running out of it also blurs your vision like irl
-traps and bird cages being used as alarms are great, just wish the areas were more dangerous

cons:
- no outfit nor armor system
- crafting and survival system is a bit too simplistic
- not always that a bush or tall grass hides you you can see the hidden icon,
- no indepth npc relation system, it has a bit of its elements but i feel like the system should be more fleshed out
-some areas needmore enemy placement and more enemy diversity create more dynamic events. like a more armored guy or more tactical stuff. the sandbox team needs to make it a lil better
- the stealth team needs to do some more rework on level design and implement better signage or improve the verticality. besides that the implementation has proven to be great.
-outlaw faction is poorly implemented and needs some more implementation.
- wesdale village narrative is nice in the start, but it doesnt end in a satisfying conclusion, it feels as if the possibilities werent fully fleshed out.
best game of 2025. like always Rebellion delivered, its a bit shortish, 30 hours with some padding due to lack of fast travel. This game is a must for if you want a light action rpg game

this is the og game without abusive anti cheat ♥♥♥♥

its not a great game. but its the only version of oblivion that runs on modern hardware without mods or voodoo magic. the only recommendation i have is that it is skyrim like but Todd Half assed this on purpose. He should have let Virtuos cook and improve the game more than just visuals. Skyrim is an improvement but sadly they didnt improve oblivion to skyrim standards, buy this if you havent played oblivion and dont want to deal with mods, otherwise get oblivion and download mods or just play skyrim with some basic mods.

Pros:
- it feels a bit like skyrim
-disposition mechanic is nice

Cons:
-lacks the mods
-social wheel is garbage
-gane was just ported half assedly and not really improved
- level design is not well made for gameplay other than just shield and sword
-ai is dumb and awful at cooperating strategically, so they just act indeppendtly and always will be funneled into a line
- level design was not improved
- stealth mechanics suck and guards just insta teleport. should have been improved, makes me worried that ES 6 will not haveany improvement in that area
- everything is instanced into an area despite being able to be all instanced together because besides the textures its not actually that interesting
- starfield has npc random civilians populating cities, but this game doesnt even has that besides they knowing how to,
- Topic dialogue mechanic is easy for writers to kitbash responses, but it is not immersive and does not let you create a feel for your own character and its place in the world, dialogues are just snippets of information and fall flat. needed more work.

Did i expect a remake? At least in regard to clutter. it has content, but the polish and improvements we were expecting is just not here. its nostalgic but this is not it. still its fun and imma finish since base oblivion was so ugly. just hope they port the old mods here or its gonna be pretty bad

very cool. just wish it had more polish and narrative. besides that its different from observer which overstays its welcome by a lot
