100x worse than Avowed

[»Bongoღ™]

I HAVE NEVER PLAYED OBLIVION BEFORE SO THIS IS MY FIRST REACTION:

Hear me out, this game is the worst thing I've ever played released in 2025 and I'm a connoisseur of slop games produced to print a quick buck.

Performance:
2 crashes in 2 hours of gametime with 1 so critical it lost me ~40 minutes of progress.
(I should probably mention that I'm on 5090 and 9800X3D and the game itself runs terrible at 4K, with no 4x framegen implemented on release)

Graphics:
I've been experiencing flickering for 5 hours until my friend helped me out. Turns out that DLSS sharpness makes the whole game somehow uglier than it already is. Water reflections is a topic for a different thread because I've seen better Unity/Roblox water than this.

Gameplay:
Enemies are dressed in heavy armor turned into light armor monks upon death with terrible death animations and no indication that anything ever happened. It's honestly not worth describing anything and you should look up any Bethesda bug compilations on YouTube. Same old story, same old bad product

Pricing:
When I first installed it I didn't expect much of it but when I was told it's not 20$ I bursted out laughing. It's uncooked, empty and filled with bugs to the brim. At this point I think I should be paid to experience this nightmare game with 1 hour of gaming followed up by 1 hour of therapy session.

[Something completely different]

The gameplay section made me laugh. Really shows you never played Oblivion indeed,

Fyi the heavy armour is a spell, and ceases on death.

"Enemies are dressed in heavy armor turned into light armor monks upon death"

It's called Daedric armor which is a spell. Basically magic armor and when they die well, poof.

COPE

Avowed is trash compared to this Gem.

damn I looked everywhere and I still cant find the one who asked

[dragonslayer7575]

i play 1440, however i run a 4070 and i9 9th gen. so like a 5 or so year old cpu, 16 gigs of ram, i play at ultra settings, with balanced dlss, have only crashed twice in total over like 16 hours, either you cheaped out on the ram and need more/and or better ram, or something other than the game is just screwed on your pc. also its called bound armor you idiot.

Oblivion made open world RPGs popular by many peoples standards. You wouldn't have even played avowed without Oblivion

A complete inability to understand conjuration magic explains why you like that slop.

I should clarify that Avowed is terrible and it would be better for me to fold origami instead at that time.

Well then go to an origami forum.....like wtf

[Nihilistic Acquisition]

This game is for the original fanbase of Oblivion. That's why it was dropped with practically no advertising, they knew their intended audience would be all over it and we definitely are.

Not a game for kids

you never left the tutorial part huh

[DeadJericho]

nvidia app should allow you to override the framegen stuff

ive seen articles where they run the game at 8k using 4x framegen to get acceptable framerates, so it definitely works
