VIDO GAM THRED
I tried The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered for a couple hours last night. It's pretty good. A lot more comprehensive than I anticipated when the "rumor"/leak came out a week earlier; having seen numerous terrible remasters from various companies. I actually like how they handled the (non)marketing and release of this game. Instead of letting (rightly) disgruntled buyers of Starfield poison the discussion about the upcoming next game for months or years, they just worked quietly, then announced and released the game on the very same day.
It runs pretty badly though. I need DLSS Performance mode on my 5090 to get a good framerate in 4k. And there's no HDR for some reason. And the FOV slider doesn't go high enough to undo the eternal shittiness of the Unreal Engine camera. Then there's the incredible blandness of the main quest and the world design, where the 'imperial city' and other towns don't do justice to the lore in the least. And obviously no depth or real choice to the dialogues, ever. No amount of Lumen raytracing can help with those things. Oh well. It's Elder Scrolls. Take the good with the bad.
In any case I intend to have some fun with the game. I picked a Dunmer from Vvardenfell as my character. He's a custom class "battlemage" of sorts. I intend to use blades and destruction magic.
Do any of you have fun character/build/roleplay ideas for how you'll spend your time in Tamriel? What will you be playing over the next week?
Wouldn't mind hearing about builds/ideas/tips for Cyberpunk 2077, btw. I went into CP2077 blind and it's pretty cool. Great graphics. I hope I'll be able to buy property in the game. That dingy building you start out in sucks!
Last I heard about it, the poor performance is due to the Original engine to the game still being in the background and using the UE 5 for the updating of graphics and what not.
A neat explanation. Too neat. When have UE games ever run well?
well, that was what I heard by hearsay as the reason for the game still being highly moddable. I would assume all the flaws in UE 5 become exacerbated once it has to interact with another game engine jury rigged to it.
