The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

crashes. trying to finish game but its hard because it keeps crashing

Having to repair my armour after every fight is infuriating, pretty sure its bugged because it was never this bad in the original release

broken mess

Fix the game

I do not recommend this game. Some bugs are fixed, which is appreciated. However, multiple problems plague the remaster. I'll only go over a few of the serious ones. For one, performance and hardware requirements are atrocious. Yes, the game looks alright, when it isn't a slideshow. But you really need a beefy setup to run this pleasantly, and even then you may be reliant on frame generation or ini tweaking. The game also suffers from numerous new issues, mostly relating to the new engine. Crashing, of course, is common. Finally, the game's modding scene is effectively dead. The last patch released for this game broke many mod projects, and there simply isn't enough interest to justify porting over the plethora of OG Oblivion mods. Also, do not play this with the unofficial oblivion patch. The mod author Arthmoor is already a character, but he did a lazy port. Many fixes in his mod were already fixed with the remaster, and others introduce new problems because they were designed for the original... not the Remaster. If you're interested in the series, please just pick up the original game - copies are super cheap. It doesn't require a monster of a PC, and you won't be supporting a nostalgia cashgrab.

It is Oblivion with a shinier coat of paint, which also means the issues with the original game will be here too. (copy and pasted dungeons eugh) But despite that, I still love the original for it's charm. And I'm actually impressed they kept that charm to a large degree here, minus the color grading. So why did I give a thumbs down? Because the performance is absolutely abysmal, which is a shame because I really wanted to enjoy this. I'd honestly recommend a lightly modded OG Oblivion list which fixes all of the problems of the original, with the added bonus of it being able to run without burning down your house.

Bought it because of nostalgia. I loved the original. It’s essentially the same game, just with a few quality-of-life improvements and a fresh new look. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend it due to the awful performance. It’s a real shame, because I really wanted to revisit Cyrodiil, but the stuttering is ruining my enjoyment. It runs fine in dungeons, but the open world is a mess.

Oblivion is still buggy and now it is abandoned. I'm getting crashes while going through locked doors and I'm done trying things to keep going. It was nostalgia that keep me playing, I would not have enjoyed this game at all if I had not played it when it came out, it was not a very good game to begin with.

Just as buggy as it was back in 2006! I am constantly restarting steam or my pc due to the various problems! This is such a classic but still a huge pain to play out of the box.

Just abysmally un-optimized. Don't waste your time or money. Look at how they butchered my boy...
