Oblivion Remaster

[Sprite]

Thought it might be a good idea to have a thread, seeing as quite a few are playing though.

A place for screenshots and patch notes etc.

I’ve not noticed a huge difference on PS5 (Standard version) graphically between performance and quality.

PS5 St - Performance

PS5 St - Quality

I wonder if all the old tricks and exploits still work, like making a custom spell really powerful by only having it last a second (for charming people, cast it and immediately start a conversation).

In one of my original runs I also levelled up illusion to 100 straight away (by running around a town casting some light spell), so I could use invisibility all the time and basically break the game. Fun times.

I haven't played it yet, so take this with a grain of salt, but everything I've seen in review videos suggests that this is still the Oblivion we know and love, with a fresh coat of paint. Basically, the developers used Unreal Engine 5 to update the graphics, UI, and animations, but the underlying gameplay elements are still handled by Bethesda's Creation Engine. On top of that, it sounds like the developers tried to be as faithful as possible to the original, keeping all of the Bethesda jank that we've come to know and love.

I knew there was a reason I held on to this for nearly 2 decades

From a time before easy internet access, Youtube walkthroughs and wikis.

Thank you for the reminder!! Somewhere in my home, a copy of this long-forgotten guide lurks. The search will have to wait until the morning.

I wonder if AI can update the illustrations 😂

Well I’ve found my first game breaking loop.

“Through a Nightmare Darkly” is broken for me. I’ve finished the quest and once I try and exit the Dreamworld it bugs the game out and crashes.

Edit-

I broke the broken…

Just skipped the conversation and that seemed to just push past the tigger which force quit the game.

They did fix a couple of the most well known ones, scroll duping and paintbrush stacking don't work anymore sadly.

I haven't gotten far enough along in the Mages Guild to see if the Chameleon trick still works (basically make a full set of armor with max Chameleon enchantment on each piece, which adds up to over 100% and completely wrecks the game's AI), but I can confirm that "mountain goating" by jumping at sheer cliffs at an angle to climb up wonky geometry does work in some places.
