For those who may be interested.
Oh and horse armor is locked behind the deluxe edition…
Anyone know if the save game files are compatible with the original?
All of the old DLC is available in the base game. The deluxe edition adds new horse armor (and a few new weapons and armor sets). But to be clear, the old horse armor is 100% available in the base game.
Source: I’m fuggin playin it right now.
Creating new horse armor to lock behind the deluxe edition is possibly the greatest piece of video game irony ever
Oh my god your right
Also knights of the nine and shivering isles aren’t included
All original DLC is included in the base release.
Yeah I see that now I originally misread
My understanding is that they are included? Unless I read it wrong
Edit: oh my god you’re right
Maybe I read it wrong, but this is what I saw from the steam page so I’m assuming that’s what you get from the upgrade
In my defense I haven’t had coffee yet
Edit I think I read it wrong because for shivering isles it says included and on the right column it says deluxe content
The text blurb just below seems to imply that the expansions are only included in the deluxe edition. The fact that it’s so hard to tell isn’t very promising lol
Yeah idk if you saw my edit but I think I misread the image the first time around
Yeah, pretty pathetic in my opinion.
$50+!? Isn’t this like a 20 year old game?
It’s like an classic car. After 20 or 30 years it starts to go up in value again.
But classic cars are finite. This is infinite.
And it doesn’t even include the DLC of the original game like skyrim se did, you have to buy the deluxe edition (an extra £10/$10)
The original expansions are included.
Experience everything Oblivion has to offer with previously released story expansions Shivering Isles, Knights of the Nine, and additional downloadable content included in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
The deluxe edition includes some new stuff and cosmetics, as well as non-game extras.
• New quests for unique digital Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon Armors, Weapons, and Horse Armor Sets
• Digital Artbook and Soundtrack App
Edit: The MS store makes it even more explicit regarding the “additional downloadable content” included in the standard edition:
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Standard Edition includes:
- Digital base game
- Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine story expansions
- Additional downloadable content: Fighter’s Stronghold expansion, Spell Tome Treasures, Vile Lair, Mehrune’s Razor, The Thieves Den, Wizard’s Tower, Orrery, and Horse Pack Armor
Cool! I was just looking at the poster they made and it looks like the DLCs are part of the deluxe set but it is designed badly or I misread it
54,99€
Yea… I’m gonna wait for that discount lol
Crazy marketing and release strategy for this one, making it just vague enough to inspire drama between those-who-believe and those-who-didn’t; from what I can tell, it has generated A LOT of interest, and the Steam numbers are super high right now. We might see more of these slow-leak-surprise-drop releases going forward, based on the success of this.
Brilliant marketing trick: Keep people waiting for the next game in the huge blockbuster series for 14 years and they’ll be eager for whatever they get
I hope this means my Skyrim modlist is finally safe and they’ve moved on to milk a new cash cow
The AI-generated speech animations are strangely exaggerated like it’s some kind of lip reading training program. There’s no hair physics. You don’t get a shadow in first-person mode. The persuasion minigame UI looks worse than it used to. Sometimes the NPCs look off to the side while they’re talking to you as if the camera’s in the wrong place. Considering that the main point is to make the old game look nicer, they seem to have neglected a lot of little details.
I’m pretty sure the main point was getting another million or ten sales for relatively little development cost.
I’m currently listening to Sir Patrick Stewart’s memoir audiobook, and totally forgot that he was the voice actor for Uriel Septim! Quite drastic change in his voice these past twenty years unfortunately.
The game looks gorgeous, but I’m going to wait until Skyblivion is released, just to make sure Bethesda doesn’t pull some bs and block the creators from releasing their passion project.
Alright, for those who got it. How fucked up can you make your character look?
I’m surprised they’re remastering this one when Morrowind seems to be remember more fondly. I was around when Oblivion came out the first time and it was good but not great, Skyrim seemed like an upgraded version of the same thing.
I think it’s because of this TC mod that these volunteers have been working on for 10(?) years. It’s due for a 2025 release
don’t pay for this.
Taking bets! Now that it’s on unreal engine, is it gonna support mods?
I’m calling that it won’t have mods and this is them shutting down future Skyblivion and Fallout UK projects without pissing off the fans.
Slowly boil the fanbase frogs and they won’t notice that the creation club is the only option left. Be sure to buy their micropayment currency! 🤮
No official mod support, unofficial mods have already started rolling in though.
Anyone test it on steamdeck?
Yes, I have already refunded it.
Runs great until you get into the open world. Then it barely manages to keep 30fps on lowest settings while everything looks blurry and debateably worse than the original.
Runs fine on my decently powerful Linux desktop via Proton at least. I was at like 80 FPS on high settings 1440p in the overworld. maybe like 50 FPS on ultra. In smaller dungeons the FPS was significantly higher.
Eribees and Mortalbeef will be streaming it on Twitch as soon as they can download it, along with many others. Might be interesting.
