A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

The mod community is 90% done making their own remake with Skyblivion. What vanilla Oblivion (and Fallout 3 & New Vegas) need is a patch to make the games run well on modern hardware. Aside from basic stability improvements, at most there should be basic bug fixes (include unofficial patch fixes) and up-scaled textures. Other than that keep them the same, but functional for future players. At the moment most of these older titles require too many mods just to run without crashing, I think Bethesda has a responsibility to fix that.
Power armor looks like ass in New Vegas though. Fallout 4 got that right, imho.
Ive never played obliviok but i do know they surprisingly did update fallout 3 to work on modern windows, but they sure took their time considering fixing it yourself meant downloading one file and putting it in the game folders. They really should have fixed more than that though because its extremely unstable and its not great even with mods that aim to fix it.
New Vegas has worked much better in my experience although others have told me they ran into even more issues than with 3, so I'm not sure.
