It actaully hurts how much more fun the original is

I implore you to go use melee in the original and compare to remaster
It's so depressing how bad it is in the remaster to me

You sure you're not looking at this through rose colored glasses?

I'd rather not flail wildly in the direction of something until it pops up into the air in a hilarious ragdoll of death.

It's exactly the same animations and combat so not sure what you mean.

Yeah its not, you are objectively wrong. The original is not a fun experience in 2025.

Sorry you never played the original bud, really unfortunate.

If you played the original game you would know that they aren't the same animations at all.

If the original isn't fun
Then this is torture.

No, they have made actual changes to the combat: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Oblivion_Remastered_Changes#Combat

I think I also prefer the old combat but at the same time.. actually having impact when I swing now is much better than slapping people with my sword until they die.

Sounds like a you problem buddy, I enjoy my time with it. Definitely like it more than Skyrim.

I wouldn't be against the weight if it wasn't so janky
The new animations are stupid and awful
Landing a forward power attack without dashing pass your enemy is like a 50/50.
The combat is almost way more boring now, no more disarming by the looks of it nor knockdowns.

Disarming is still possible but I hate what they have done with that shortsword.. that stab animation is very jarring.
