I have never played Oblivion before. Should i play the original or the remake?
>>739561716Whichever one looks better to you. People here call it jeet slop but the remake is probably better for a first timer and has a higher chance of keeping you engaged. The best part of oblivion is NPC interactions/dialogue and those are better in the remake in my opinion
>>739561716Original
>>739561716If you have to ask, you are the kind of golem the demake was designed for.
>>739561716Play the remake. Leveling system in the original sucks super hard. Just don't abuse the new system and you are good.
>>739561949dude you're so smart and above it all man
>>739561716Remaster
>>739561716if you have a strong PC play the remake.original aged like feces.
>>739561991don't even bother with retards like that, it's always a bitter south american or russian taking their frustration with living in a shithole out on a indonesian travel blog
>>739562106*an indonesian. i was deciding on a country
>>739561716Are you on PC? original.Are you on consoles? remake.
original but modded
the remake is abandon ware and still has severe issuesyou can try last seed insteadhttps://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/53004
>>739561907>The best part of oblivion is NPC interactions/dialogue and those are better in the remake in my opinionDid they change dialogues or some shit in the remake or is it a case of taking it more seriously because of its soulless but upgraded graphix
Original imo. It's got soul graphix compared to the soulless remake. I can imagine the remake taking a lot more beefier rig to get it to run flawlessly
>>739562306dialogue and voice lines are identical, no NPC were removed or altered. the characters just pop out of the screen during interactions in the remake and it looks really cool
I mean it looks great, and it plays great as well. But the stutters and shit performance in the overworld really kill it for me. Also Microsoft are gigantic jews and jewed the company that made the remake, so we will never get any patches that actually fix it. Just stick to the original, even if it might look worse, it is better, as it's a complete and seamless experience.
>>739562306>>739562382>>739563626Hello ratto
Neither. It is not a good videogame
>>739562557There's also more voice actors for NPCs
>>739561716The remake will just suddenly keep crashing over low ram, when it means vram. Installing any mods will accelerate this. The art direction, on the other hand and despite removing any hint of slight bust, is a massive improvement over the original Shrek-style that meant to try to keep a teen rating. You better speedrun it.>>739561970What are you talking about? The only difference is attributes not being dependent on your play style. You're still pretty much h*cked if you find out you trained the wrong skills.
>>739562306They added some random lines for like bandits and stuff, all the quest/speech dialogue is the same
>>739561716The Remaster is completely servicable for someone looking to play through the main quest and maybe one side faction. It's when you spend real time with it that you realize they completely fucked up the math with the changes they made. Some design choices were really poor, too, like the way they handled magicka regen and removing weapon attack stunning.
Oririnal, the "remaster" is just a fuck ugly babys first UE5 project looking revamp with unnesecary changes scattered trough out.
>>739561716The winning move is not to play, oblivion combines the worst parts of morrowind and skyrim and excels at nothing.
>>739564695>removing weapon attack stunning.Excuse me but what the fuck, what else did they fuck up?
>>739564626Trying to get max attribute points was a pain in the ass in the original game but important to do. Now you can easily grind magic in the city to the max if you don’t restrain yourself.
remake. loved original, but that version of the engine is complete ass and there's no fixing it.
>>739561716The original is better in most ways. However, the fact that the leveling system got improved in the remake makes the remake better for a first timer.
>>739561716No. It's the same game anon. Just play the remaster
>>739561716The Remake has better gameplay but it totally lacks the whimsical essence of the original, it will just feel like a fairly mediocre medieval fantasy game instead of a janky journey through a Thomas Kinkade painting. Remake also ruins some of the OG's charmingly stupid voice acting.I would suggest just not playing Oblivion because remake or not it just isn't a very good game.
>>739564963>easily grind magic in the city to the maxExperience is based on magicka cost now, not times cast, type 2.
>>739561716it's literally the same gameplay remake if you can
>>739561716Neither its boring as fuck compared to sKyrim. Dont even waste your money like I did.
Whatever happened to Skyblivion anyway?
>>739561970There's a lot of mods for Oblivion. I really doubt that there's none that can rebalance the character level progression.
>>739562213This.
>>739567565feature creep and trannies if I had to guessgoing by the last trailer they decided to completely redesign every ayyleid dungeon into shit they came up with on their own instead of making sure the dlc gets into the game
>>739561716I had never played Oblivion so I got the remaster. What a mistake. Looks good but it's so fucking boring and the gameplay systems are miles behind Skyrim. Don't even bother. If anything, buy the original Oblivion so when you get bored of it after 5 hours, you are only out 20 bucks instead of 70.
>>739561716Remaster is no less broken than the originalActually its worse>Bodies in water don't float>Stealth and alerting is fucked and no one reacts at all to their dude they're looking at dying, your stealth meter doesn't even trigger>Game runs REAL hot>No modding support>UE slop graphics ghostingIt's just so fucked
>>739561970The remake still sucksDont level offense>Everything never dIeslevel offense>everything dies in one hit
>>739566842I know. It's really easy to max magic in the remastered version.
>>739561716remake, easily
>>739567697If you asked me 10 years ago what was needed in sky livion>The base game in a new engineLet the mods and modders overhaul your dungeons,but stay on schedule ffsEven Skyrim has excellent mods that overhaul all the dungeons
Im a huge fan of the original but if you didnt play it youre not going to care about the differences, just play the remake. The biggest issues with Oblivion were combat and leveling. Similar to fallout, also one of my favorite series, they end up being exploration sims since you either end up with a miserable melee build barely doing damage or an OP magic build abusing the fuck out of the system. While I love the original colors, and I do have issues with UE boringness but the improvements are just too big to ignore.Otherwise youll end up doing a ton of modding bullshit for the OG and it never fully works out. Really anyone on earth other than the most miserable people on this board who dont actually play games will tell you just do the remaster, its good.
>>739561716Modded original. Check out Oblivion modding guides and get the mods from https://www.nexusmods.com/games/oblivion/mods. Have fun./thread
Play the sloppa goy-friendly remake that looks like any other game released in the last 5 years.You don't deserve to play the original.
>>739568832Remaster looking and running like shit and being 80 gigs is a huge issue though
>>739561716Original oblivion you retarded zoomer
>>739561716Neither. Play Arx Fatalis instead.
>>739561716Modded Oblivion my always go to but the remaster has really impressive graphics even if they downgraded a lot of stuff due to Unreal Engine like the physics.
The remaster is woke
>>739561716Remake, the original will feel insanely clunky based off the binding system alone
>>739561716Remake was impossible to run for me so I downloaded the original. The npcs look much funnier.
Is the remaster really 26 times better than the original?
>>739561716Play the remake. It runs a lot smoother, the graphics are a quality update while mostly retaining the original character of the game and most importantly they made a small tweak to leveling which completely fixes the biggest flaw of the original.
>>739573726maybe you should have gotten a larger hard drive in the 20ish years between the releases
>>739562213tpbp
>>739561716>Should i play the original or some unreal engine shit made by indians You tell me genius
>>739573726if you have a PC, you should definitely have the space to accommodate this. the size of a game is never a thought in my head.
Soul vs soulless
>>739561716They're both tranny-coded slop but Remastered is a modest upgrade
>>739574456Indians will tell you the right one looks better
Why did the remake remove all the lush foliage in favor of short, dry lawn grass ?Same location in both shots btw.
>>739574456whoever taught you faggots the word soul needs to be arrested
>>739570080Idk i have a Frankenstein PC ive been adjusting from its original messy build 12 years ago and I have no issues, and I have a 2080 or something from 4-5 years ago cant even remember. Bizarrely the only game ive had massive issues with is Akrham knight. Unplayable on launch and still stutters today. Ill never know if its any good
>>739575154The entire remaster clearly looks so much worse than the original in terms of aesthetics and it makes me feel like I'm going insane that people apparently don't see it??
>>739561716It doesn't really matter which version you play because they both suck.
>>739561716original has better mod support but its still a bitch to run on modern systems
>>739575375To be fair nobody was really going to bat for oblivions art style in the first place since it's always been the 'generic' tes game that was just copying LOTR. The differences are so subtle as to be unnoticeable... Both are generic... Compared to something like demons' souls and it's remake where the original was trying something unique and the remake was generic.
>>739575375how does it look with the lighting overhaul to better match the original color grading?
>>739561716I liked it more than the original
>>739575375What is openmw? I thought it was open source morrowind. Why is oblivion on openmw?
>>739575375The only way the remake is serviceable aesthetics-wise is by using a reshade to get it closer to the greens and blues of the original.I don't want brown and piss filters era again :(
>>739575508>nobody was really going to bat for oblivions art style in the first placeI will
>>739575375>it makes me feel like I'm going insane that people apparently don't see it??They see it, but they need to justify spending $2000 for their RTX 4090s to play this game.
>>739575540Morroblivion, I'm assuming.
>>739575598Ok. Other than being more yellow instead of green can you describe what's better in the original?
>>739575375listen i prefer the original and grew up playing it but the remake isnt THAT brown and a single console command will remove the fog
>>739575540this is a really nice photo
>>739575375Why do modern devs hate vibrant colors so much?
>>739576179>a single console command will remove the fog>the game is good you just have to use console commands/mods/edit the iniWhat mental illness causes Bethesdafags to be like this?
>>739576164NTA but the original definitely had a more painterly kind of style, rather than directly aiming for realism. In the quest with the trapped painter the assets were also made to look painted, whereas the remake just throws a canvas filter over the top.
>>739576179>baby why are you mad the baby isnt THAT brown
>>739561716My biggest gripe with the remake is how they neglected to fix the level scaling and the damage formula. The Old Knight did a great video analyzing the damage formula and deduced that it's probably a typo. That's why melee characters always seemed so weak. Im about to start a new playthrough of the original with a mod that allegedly fixes it, so I'm excited.
>>739561716Original, though I recommend not leveling up after Level 26, as after that certain monsters just get crazy stats while you're getting like 1 luck, or getting one of those leveling mods. It's a bit scuffed in that specific regard.
>>739576297>>739576354i pirated the remake and played thru several characters. it's fine and you are a baby
>>739561716Play the remaster just so you can install a wabbajack modlist and not mod the game yourself. Both are dogshit vanilla and not worth playing. You're honestly better off playing modded Skyrim or modded Morrowind.
>i pirated the remake and played thru several characters. it's fine and you are a baby
>>739576651stay mad nigger im gonna go play arx fatalis
>stay mad nigger im gonna go play arx fatalis
>>739575375I get theres a big style difference but the old game's art direction worked for the time. I don't think it's aged super well. Foliage and stuff is treated differently now too.
>>739576297The people using commands to remove fog are, in turn, the mentally ill people complaining about fucking fog. Normal people just played the game.I turned that around on you, and I'm right, RETARD
>>739576510>It's a bit scuffed in that specific regard.that's one way to describe the core of the game being completely fucking dickered lol
>The people using commands to remove fog are, in turn, the mentally ill people complaining about fucking fog. Normal people just played the game. >I turned that around on you, and I'm right, RETARD
>>739576164The graphix. It's pure sovl
>>739561716You can play the remake just download a reshader mod that restores vanilla color scheme. That was my only complaint about it
>>739577608>play the remaster but use mods to make it look like the original
>>739564626>The art direction, on the other hand and despite removing any hint of slight bust, is a massive improvement over the original Shrek-style that meant to try to keep a teen ratingIt's absolutely not, the uncanny valley NPCs in the demake look absolutely atrocious, particularly the elven and beast races. They look like upscaled wallace & gromit characters. Nevermind the complete lack of color and contrast going on in the environments.
>>739567565it's vaporware just like skywind
Why is the Oblivion Remastered file size so big?
>>739561716Play both. Pay for the one you preferred. Or none. Your choice.
remake if you can run itlol I got a new CPU + motherboard for that game and then didn't play it yet. would not run with 2 cores
>>739573831>It runs a lot smoother, the graphics are a quality update while mostly retaining the original character of the game and most importantly they made a small tweak to leveling which completely fixes the biggest flaw of the original.absolutely none of this is true.
>>739579820what dual core were you still using in 2025
What's an actual fun build in Oblivion?I was thinking of making a thief who punches people as they're paralyzed
>>739579941nvm it was 4 cores. not even 4 was enoughintel 4690k
>>739580095Monk has been a staple archetype in Fantasy.There is something exhilarating about beating enemies in heavy armor and heavy weapons with just your fists.

>>739579967There are no builds because everything boils down to just stealth archer with varying steps
