I never played the original.

I only played skyrim and fallout 4, the beginning of the end of the golden gaming era, i heard tell of the greatness of the original from my older brothers, but alas i was too young at the time.

Does this version harken back to the golden era? Or is it more broken modern slop?

It depends on WHAT exactly your expectations ARE. IF you have ANY at all, and they are based off of your most current gaming experiences, then I would say you are setting yourself up for disappointment. If you start the game with few if ANY expectations. you might actually be pleasantly surprised...

its pretty much exactly the same as the original, poor combat, cheesy NPC interactions, caves full of motionless enemies... it was great back in the day but the remake is only good for nostalgia really. I am replaying it because I loved the original but it really does feel outdated, even with the new graphics.

Way better than Skyrim and F4, you won't regret

It's just another unique Elder Scrolls game with some resemblances only. You will feel it as new game. I like the janky but also smooth combat, much better spells than Skyrim because of the classic "Spellmaking" which was weirdly removed in Skyrim.

In my opinion, this is not a game you just go outside and explore around. Dungeons will feel boring and pointless. You gotta sandbox it with goals like doing jobs for Fighter's Guild or whatever. Do the quests you get. And lot more. Then you can enjoy the game.

The gameplay is about what I remember it to be, and the environment/creature designs are objective improvements over the originals. The character designs though are terrible I think. They made such a big deal about wanting to preserve the goofy soul of the original (see: they wanted the meme channels to return for free marketing) but everyone looks like the Photorealistic Mario meme and it feels more like nightmare fuel than the dopey potato-heads of the original.

That said if you ever played a mage in Skyrim you'll want to see exactly what Bethesda took from you. Mages used to be gods.

It is a 20 year old game, with a new coat of paint, that is all, take off the nostalgia specs and if this game was brand new now and was released it would be pulled to pieces, its very dated in every aspect.

Players would be going mental, as it would be classed ironically as old slop, which is what it is.

I tried it a few times for the nostalgia, but it just reminded me how far gaming has moved on, and whats possible nowadays, this just highlights it all.

If you like Skyrim, you would probably like Oblivion.

The problem with steam forums, are people like you, better than F4 and Skyrim????? in what possible way? please feel free to make up more nonsense and embarrass yourself to explain that daft statement.

[Pairy Henis]

It's both at the same time.
Hopefully and probably with a few patches the broken modern slop part will be fixed.

I'm hardcore Elder Scrolls fan (Daggerfall Unity, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and naturally modded). I absolutely can't pick one game as best. They all are different games. It depends what I want play now. It was a great job of Bethesda making them all unique and not like another.

Fallout 4 better? Impossible. Fallout New Vegas okay it's better.

[AdahnGorion]

Oblivion started the downfall of Bethesda games.

[fox]
