To play Skyblivion, I believe you need to buy most if not all the Skyrim dlc.

Hasn't this Bethesda helmed Oblivion remake been in the rumors and 'eventually' stage since around 2021-2022? Feel like skyblivion team has had plenty of time to get used to it at this point, but has something changed recently to make the bethesda version more relevant?

Treating them better than Fallout London's devs got, for sure.

I see they're remaking the worst one first, good

Yeah, that's right, my hot take is that Oblivion fucking sucks ass and needs a remake, unlike TES 2, 3, and 5

I would certainly love to see Morrowind remake.

Oblivion is at least playable for newer gamers. It's not a good experience, but it is manageable.

Morrowind, for all its immense benefits, makes everyone who entered the game scene after 2010 scream in terror. I personally never left Balmora, because it's just a terrible experience by modern standards (graphics, character animation, controls, battle mechanics...), which is a great shame because the game seems to be great otherwise.

TES I and II, while deserving recognition, are very Doom-like in terms of gameplay, and I don't believe an adequate remake could be made, because they are so different they can't adequately be turned into a modern experience.

So, I guess for me all hopes are for Skywind, so I could finally walk the streets of Vivec without the need to fork my eyes.

I’d love to see anything Morrowind‑related from Bethesda. Anything at all. The province of Morrowind, with its weird culture, architecture, and landscapes, is always quite an experience. To me, it’s the most interesting setting in the whole TES series

Oblivion is far less playable for new players, y'all just have nostalgia blinders / mods in mind

The levelling system breaks Oblivion, violently. Nothing that awful is in Morrowind, even the "I can't hit anything with a dagger because I'm too stupid to read" doesn't come close

Nah, I started with Skyrim, and I played Oblivion without mods. It's not great, problematic in many places, but it is playable if you want to discover the story.

if I didn't have to mod the fuck out of oblivion to make it playable without a spreadsheet, i'd be very mad at you.
