Faces look pretty good other than the Beth death stare, but that's every Beth game ever released, IMO.

Glad the OG lockpicking and rep-boosting systems made it in as-is.

I'll play this I guess. Sounds like it could be a chill visit back to 2006.

Do I roll a cat, orc or elf on a shelf? I can't remember jack about this game other than red portals, big ass Daedra and endless mobs in there, getting lost. And some old Pentium getting hot and fan running max.

I checked out steam discussions to see if anyone has documented the skill up system changes yet.

its just wall to wall "this game is transphobic, body type A, and B is trans and women erasure" trolling.

Dark Elves or Bretons are probably the meta - Dark Elves have 75% innate fire resistance, and there's a fuckton of fire damage in Oblivion. Bretons get 50% passive resist to all magic.

This assumes they haven't changed any passives, though.

I always play Argonian.

This was kind of a let down for me back in the day after Morrowind; it just didn't hit the same way. I wouldn't buy it with all the Bethesda BS going on but I will download it from GamePass, so well done MS spending billions there.

Edit: After 15 min I am already annoyed enough that Patrick Stewart will remain a lonely voice actor for now. Ugh. This is the Remastered version? Lord save us from the original. I have never seen uglier default characters in any game ever. In trying to keep the nostalgia versus updating it, It just looks like they keep the shitty old graphics in a new engine.

I am going to need time to let this one soak. It's not like Skyrim or Morrowind where I am coming from a place of love and getting a dopamine dump from the music.

Did Bretons have somthing like 20% spell absorption in this game as well? Or is that just Skyrim?

It's arguably even stronger here than it is in Skyrim.

Skyrim Bretons get 50% Spell Absorption (i.e. spells go to zero damage with restoration of magicka) for 60 seconds once per day as an activated power. They also get constant 25% resist magic (directly reduces spell damage).

Oblivion, they get 50% Resist Magic.
