anyone else playing skyrim instead of oblivion remaster cuz their pc can't handle the game?

[mancsi1234]

just me?

[Rez Elwin]

Not the reason i'm not playing the game though still valid. If I could run the remaster it would probably be at the lowest settings, at that point mind as just well play modded original Oblivion. I am waiting for Skyblivion, once that comes out Skyrim will be shelved forever. Technically I'll still be "playing" it, just converted.

I'm not playing remastered Oblivion because I'm a cheapskate who doesn't buy games at release or for full price, and furthermore I have an unplayed copy of old Oblivion languishing in my library.

My PC can't handle Oblivion Remastered, the system requirements are pretty high. It could probably run it with all graphics settings at their lowest, but who wants that?

And for some inexplicable reason my wife is not very much on board with the idea of me spending two and a half thousand pounds on a new PC - so for now it must remain on my 'yet to play' list until I've squirreled enough cash away to justify it.

I'm playing the original Oblivion, "remastered" all by myself through mods.

[CEPHY]

I'm still here because a) modded skyrim is life and b) I ain't paying full price for a 20 year old game I already own.

20 Year old game? Now that you mention it, I would actually pay for a Morrowind remaster.

I'm not playing it because the price tag's a bit steep in my opinion. 50 euro for the total pack with all dlc etc. would be fine but 50 euro just for the base game.. Kind of makes me want to wait for summer sale to see will they place it for -15 or -20 percent off. I usually don't purchase games for their full asking prices.

Did not buy and does not want to buy.
My pc can easily handle it, but as you can tell i am playing Skyrim out of choice.

[Hypertext Eye]

I'm playing Skyrim because I'm too poor to pay $50 for a video game.
(but if I wasn't too poor, I wouldn't be playing Oblivion Remaster, I'd be playing something else)

[WolfensRazor]

Yeah, I'm playing Nolvus Ascension right meow. Runs around 60 fps on ultra.

[Altbert]

Can afford it, my PC can handle it, but the UE5 and Beth's engine under the hood, made me not to buy it. Already more than 100 mods on Nexus, many reshades, and several mods with only ESP files. For visual changes you need UE5. I will wait for Skyblivion which will probably release the end of this year or beginning of next year.

only because i was literally so close to finishing my current playthrough of skyrim, then ill be moving on to oblivion

I’m playing OR.

I needed a break from my current multi-hundred hour playthrough of Skyrim. I’m doing a complete run through of the game with LOTD, Dac0da, Vigilant, Glenmoril, Unslaad, Meridia’s Order, and Undeath plugged in.

Am trying to do EVERYTHING - base game, DLCs, CC, and quest mods and am ending the game with a completely filled out LOTD museum and doing Unslaad (which Vicn wrote as a kind of “end” to the Dragonborn’s story).

After about 350 - 400 hours already I’m maybe 40 or 50% done with everything but I hit the wall and need a little break so I’m gonna play OR, Forever Skies, and Manor Lords for a little while before coming back to Skyrim.

[Madao]

I'm not because my PC can't handle it probably. None of the new games released seem interesting enough to shell out 2k to 3k € on a new pc either

I’m able to play it on a GTX1080 at medium settings with a pretty consistently good frame rate, and it still looks pretty damn good. It dips probably 5 - 10 frames when out on the world map but in smaller areas (like the Dead Lands) and interiors its high frames and buttery smoothness.

When I heard UE5 was involved and I had to refund the new Indiana Jones game (it wouldn’t even start) and couldn’t even buy Atomfall, I started to get worried that a GPU with built-in ray tracing (RTX 20 series and up) was gonna be required. Thankfully the absolute minimum for OR is a GTX1060.

My GTX1080 has served me very well since 2016, I only had to really start NEEDING to lower settings for new games starting in like 2021-22, but I think it’s finally time to upgrade to like an RTX 40 series. I just wish good GPUs weren’t so damn expensive. By the time I can realistically set aside the funds to safely drop that kind of money all at once on the latest and greatest, they’ve already launched the newest series.
