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!
I hope you are jumping everywhere like a good TES player should. I don't think they rebalanced sneak very well when they sped up the movement mechanics - sneaking is still shit when you are low in stealth and you'll easily get spotted, but the extra speed of your character means when you stand behind a column near a rat or the like and tap directions so you move a fraction you build up stealth a lot faster than you used to, so you can easily clear 30 stealth before you have finished the tutorial.
Edit - also I went with my standard TES build since morrowind - Breton race of course (I'm racist), key attributes intelligence and willpower, sign of the atronach (broken as hell in this game) with major skills - blades (short blades previously), alchemy, stealth, destruction, mysticism, armourer and light armour. The class is called a gigolo, naturally.
