I still prefer original Oblivion's faces to the souless remaster ones. At least in the OG some NPCs are cute (Cutter and Methredhel for example)
>>
I've always had an autistic issue with oblivion since forever:
The oblivion crisis is supposed to be one of the worst fucking things to ever happen, and there was no dragon break to make it all daijobu or a race of tripping cat people/furries to hold your hand.
Yet it has this jubilant, vibrant, quirky, positive vibe all over it, you walk outside in the morning and everything is straight out a fairytale it's so ethereal; and yet 20 minutes down the forest the worst things conceivable(not directly involving a prince)are happening, things that would give /d/ a nofap streak.

This has nothing to do with engine limitations, as morrowind and skyrim both have appropriate tone
I'm perplexed, and I never got an answer nor an explanation
>>
>>737166060
morrowind is like a nosferatu it's great. I think that image is trying to say skyrim one is good too but it looks generic and lame to me.
>>
>>737166336
oblivion was undoubtably the worst in the series from how shallow it was when it came to quests and art direction. Nostolgiatards love to defend it and say skyrim is worse when it literally had a gritty atmosphere like morrowind did unlike blivion which had a shitty generic fantasy setting with 1 or 2 of the same voice actors.
>>
>>737166336
It's because Oblivion was thier first game made with console with mind so the designed the whole game around introducing new people to the series

That 30 year old Dunmer

>>737166336
Nearly all of Oblivions issues can be traced back to the founding design principle of “the player can do all this stuff in any order they want”. It’s crippling from a game design and narrative perspective because the quests and combat encounters all must be designed under assumption that player hasn’t done anything else except the previous quests in chain, and narratively no part of game can make reference to any other part since you might not have done it yet.

You can go become the leader of every faction and sort out everyone’s personal problems before the Oblivion crisis even starts if you just ignore the main quest.
>>
>>737166060
The worst part is that Dunmer lost the heavy smoker voice and now all have posh Bongistani accents

Why did the retard who made that leave out the original games?

>>737172206
>You can go become the leader of every faction and sort out everyone’s personal problems before the Oblivion crisis even starts if you just ignore the main quest.
You can also become head of every major guild and the Imperial Legion and also, for example, House Telvanni who despise the Imperials before you complete Morrowind's main quest and none of it has almost any impact on one another. I don't understand why people ignore this aspect about Morrowind and act like it was something only introduced with Oblivion/Skyrim.

Non-Todd TES games are non-canon so who cares what they had?

The core trait of the race is that they want to be left alone in their volcanic shithole. That's not edgy.

>>737166060
Everybody in Oblivion was a bunch of potato heads.

>>737172367
Except becoming leader of dark elf factions in Morrowind actually accelerated the plot progression for the main story.
>>
>>737172452
Yeah, they don't raid other lands and kidnap locals to be sold as slaves at all!
>>
Imagine being an Imperial or Breton and a Dungmer moves into your neighbourhood, causing house prices to plummet
>>
>>737172367
You cant be the head of the Thieves Guild and the Fighters Guild at the same time because they are fighting each other.
You cant be the head of a House if you are already the head of another.
I think there is some things too if you're the head of the Mages Guild rising up in the Telvanni.
You also need to join a house for the main quest.
>>
I try to like Bethesda games, but they look disgusting to me. Everything's so stiff, awkward, and ugly.

Wrong.
>You cant be the head of a House if you are already the head of another.
That is true. But Houses that hate the Imperials and their invasion of their land don't care you're high up within the Imperial Legion.
>You also need to join a house for the main quest.
Wong.

Oblivion wanted the casual audience that watched Lord of the Rings, and pandered to the whole whimsy and adventure tone of the shire.

It’s called the Yookay

If the next Skyrim game had NPCs that looked like the NPCs in Oblivion Remastered I'll be happy
>>
I realized there’s actually a good reason to be excited for TES VI despite Bethesda not releasing a good game in 15 years - it will be the first big budget fantasy RPG with a base building system. Even if everything else sucks I should get hundreds of hours out of that.

Oblivions art style is lightning in a bottle
Shivering Isles is the perfect culmination of Oblivions atmosphere, themes and style
and yes I am replaying it right now, and it is a 10/10 atmosphere/art style/vibe
>>
>>737173193
Oblivion Remastered basically runs on UE5 on top of the old Creation Engine. Tes 6 will run solely on the Creation Engine so expect something on par with Starfield.
>>737173242
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they just cut it out. They tried it in Fallout 4, but it didn't really work out, so they significantly scaled back their efforts on that system in Starfield, even though the game seemed like a natural fit for it.
>>737173339
Shivering Isles is literally just a shittier Morrowind.

Oblivion had some fucked up faces.
At this point, I have nostalgia for that.
The other art styles are probably better.
>>737166336
You are right.
I think the fairy tale vibe was well done, though.

I honestly think both art styles can work, but I am biased in favour of oblivion. If next one is a fairy tale vibe, they need to be careful it doesn't end up too gay.

I'm not arguing for, or against. It just doesn't sit right with me, and noone has ever talked about it. Morrowind fucking starts with the heartbeat of the bloody anumidium, oblivion begins with a windows-moviemaker slideshow of drone footage. What that other guy said was correct, they wanted the console audience, simple as.

Bro the Empire kings live in a elven tower because they can't build anything better. Before that they were dwelling in literal caves like Sarthal. Not to mention how Ayleid cities are still standing while Imperial forts have collapsed. Humans can't build to last.

The artstyle throughout the game actually is pretty similar to the in-game "painted world"; I read somewhere it was an intentional artistic decision to have it like an actual real life artstyle, that I'm too retarded now to remember the name of, someone knows what I'm talking about surely.

Still you could definitely argue that it's tonally off for the "end of the world"

Ithelia isnt a tranny, but her ingame model sucks compared to the render and pre-order statue.
Also she literally removed herself out of existence to be a mortal because the concentrated power of retcon and fanfic autism is too dangerous and only Herma Mora can deal with this. And yes, Daedric Princes can relinquish their position and sphere at any time, in her case, she knows that she alone was too much of a threat to exist, and Jygallag would be interested in her power.
Hell, even Wes voiced ol squidward as a wise eldritch horror who honors his sphere, Mainly because he knows that Miraak is plotting against him at that period of the 2nd era, and he has his part in the future when akatosh finally decides to act.

Morrowind's main quest isn't pressing though. Dagoth Ur has been fucking around for centuries and probably would continue to do so if the player was another failed incarnate. He isn't launching a large scale invasion and there isn't any indication that he is close to getting Akulakhan running.

By pure stats bretons are the most powerful race in tes
Being 50% resistant/absorbent to magic means being able to make anti-mages while still being capable mages and knights themselves which means they can just drop magic warheads in every fight that would kill everyone else while they survive to heal with their improved restoration magic

Skyrim's tone was far too serious - in a very gay and chuuni way. It just makes the garbage writing stand out more, which is kind of embarrassing.
The NPC voice performances are strained to the point I feel they were given direction to sound as serious as possible at all times.
The game has no levity whatsoever, NPCs just casually threaten you during normal conversations and there's nothing you can do about it because you're the Dragoncuck.

Oblivion feels like nerds larping and having fun
Skyrim feels like what executives think fantasy marvel would be
