I played a bit yesterday! That meme about picking the most vanilla options describe me to a T. I went with an Imperial warrior, I did create a new class though. The game looks wonderful and performance was great all around. I did found the difficulty a bit unbalanced, expert was hard yet adept was too easy. I'll probably jump between both depending on the situation. The nostalgia is real though, I'm going to be playing this for a good while.

Third person always looked jank, who plays third person anyway? The only time I did was when I was stealthing a fool.

It's literally a first person game IMO. The only time I ever switch to 3rd is for situational awareness.

I had no idea 3rd person was an option. I am switching to 3rd.

The way I explain it to normies is this:

The globalists (illuminati, Zionist Jews, Bilderberg Group, Bohemian Grove, take your pick) want to destroy the individual and the family units. Everyone on the electrical grid (thus easily controlled - one switch and there goes their home and vehicle), eating bugs (insert soylent green mass produced bs food here), consuming mindless drivel, and not standing up for anything or believing in anything but the State.

The best way to do this is eliminate ethnicity and identity (when we are everything we are nothing). The more you dilute what God is, what a man and woman are, etc... the more easily you can control and shape people's frame of mind and views. Look at Communist China. They didn't bite the whole identity politics thing, but they didn't need to. The State just crushed everyone under their heel until obedient. We can't do that here, so we need to find more subtle and divisive ways to break down societal structures and standards.

Think of your average consumer NPC... if they were a traditionally-minded person with a strong ethnic, family, and religious background, they would be FAR less likely to be swayed by mainstream media or influencers.

Still a very magical and enjoyable game, but man does the combat suck. Adept difficulty is braindead easy, but even ticking it up just one rank turns enemies into insane damage sponges.

How will this run on a laptop 3070?

Probably not well enough to justify playing it over modded OG Oblivion.

Yup, started on Expert and got WRECKED by a conjurer when you first got outside. Went into the temple where he was and a bandit one shot me. Went to Adept and I'm indestructible. Hopefully after a couple levels I can gear up a bit and go back to Expert. Adept is way too easy.

Game looks great!

If you can, update on this, honestly don't want a game that's unfair but feel like a games that's too easy will be way less engaging

I am just certain that I saw someone on Reddit linking to a post from nexusmods saying they would allow the mod but would lock comments on it.

Maybe they changed the mind like they change gender though.

Listen, as Ive said before I never played Oblivion, I have zero nostalgia here, but I can't help but agree with you. As with so many Unreal games it looks...soulless. Dead. Lacking charm.

Look how lush the old version looks, green, vibrant. Almost dreamlike. Then you've got...whatever the fuck is below. Everything is brown and dry and looks like a savanna for some reason. I don't mean to take away from the work the devs have done but it looks like they just slapped a pile of stock Unreal assets in the game and called it done.

I kinda fuckin hate the way it looks not gonna lie. At this point I wish I had the nostalgia that would allow me to power through this game and enjoy it.

Played another few hours. Yeah, they may need to balance things out. But to be honest, I don't remember if the original game was like this as well. Adept, I barely take damage. A crab takes 2 arrows to kill and a rat is dead with one swing of a short sword. Bandits dead in 4 swings. On expert, crab takes 10 arrows, bandits you have to run and hit. The daedra are push overs on adept. Expert, forget it. But that's me, others may say to git gud.

Also, got a quest to find 12 slaughter fish, there are not enough. Found about 3....in three play sessions after resting etc.

So yeah, there is some jank but it's fun. I don't remember the original that much as I only played it a couple of hours. I can't comment on the soul of the game and all that. I think it looks fantastic and runs very well.
 
I played a good bit of the original on Xbox 360, but eventually quit because I didn't like how the world leveled up with me. I plan to try it again, maybe on Expert. I kinda like the idea of it being hard as hell, forcing me to sneak and talk my way out of shit as much as fighting through it.
