    Bethesda, makers of Fallout 76, may be interested because to use that mod you’ve to own both Oblivion and Skyrim, making Skyblivion a great scheme to sell you two more games.

    Am I wrong in thinking that the creative lead for the Oblivion Remaster might not actually be able to speak for Bethesda as a whole?

      While you are absolutely correct in your skepticism, id like to add that multiple facets of Bethesda have both implicitly and explicitly either condoned or outright celebrated what the team is doing.

      This project seems to not only just be on Bethesda’s radar, but they view as a good thing.

      Bethesda gave the Skyblivion team free Steam keys for the Remastered version. While I agree that we should apply skepticism, actions seem to demonstrate that Bethesda itself is cool with them, so I think it’s probably appropriate for any one team member to speak on their behalf as a whole in this regard.

      Why not? He’s the development lead at Bethesda Game Studios who has worked there for 20 years.

    It’s wild to me how everyone has the attention span of a goldfish. Everyone hates Nintendo and Bethesda and whoever else until they flash some shiny object in front of their eyes and they forget everything.

      I knew everyone hated Nintendo, but I had no idea people hated Bethesda ? What is this about ? I know there are a lot of jokes about the many rererereleases of Skyrim, but I never thought it was hatred, is it ?

            Really? Have you never played a Bethesda game before? The issues are obvious.

            Fallout 76 and Starfield were both massive failures. It doesn’t help that Bethesda insists on sticking with the same outdated engine they’ve been using since 1997. Even Oblivion Remastered still relies on Gamebryo to run the game logic. UE5 is only used for the graphics.

            They can’t make fun games with compelling storylines anymore, and they all play the same because the mechanics for their titles haven’t changed in nearly 30 years. They just make the same games over and over again because they don’t know how to keep up with the times. I’m tired of them.

    I really couldn’t give a fuck about playing oblivion, everyone has been forced fed Skyrim so many times now that they are willing to consume anything now. Enjoy playing remakes for the next decade probably on a subscription based model too.

    Bethesda haters will see this and still say Bethesda purposely sabotages modders and other developers.
