I think the oblivion possibilities are:
Faithful remake, same engine and mechancis just some shaders or shit ontop + ai upscaled textures
Full remake in skyrim engine, leveling would most likely just be skyrim leveling at that point then which would be autistic and remove the racial diversity
TES6 engine test- who fucking knows
it's a good bet, if it's not announced soon then it's probably been shelved
Bethesda currently is confirmed to be working on Indiana Jones (2025/2026), ES6 (2026/2027) and Starfield DLC (2024)
not counting ESO
yeah
they always announce intentions like that early
Max, how the fuck did 76 win you over
honestly
you seem to hold it in pretty good regard now, or at least you sound like you do sometimes
oh ok, I took the wrong sentiment from you talking about it
Finally got the 5 win streak after my game crashed the first time I almost got it
No its with the new DLC
I had 100%'d it before they added any DLC
this was me playing all the DLC for the first time

oblivion >> skyrim
Replying to PirateMan64 #zytohn oblivion >> skyrim
The only thing you could even remotely argue is slightly better quests but that falls apart once you realize 80% of Oblivions quests are quite literally "Go here and kill a troll"
Oblivions main bonus is nostalgia for people, when you ask someone what it did right or better you always get an empty response, or mentions of the shivering isles which were done by mark nelson who did many morrowind quests, and specifically was the lead writer for tribunal which is arguably one of the best written bethesda DLCs already.
Argubly skyrims combat system isn't great but even on legendary you can still have enough dps to kill enemies, but not Oblivion it's ALWAYS spamming and giant helath sponges. I despise skyrim leveling too- but oblivions is actually hell and unusable. Then you have dlc being p2w breaking progression, the god awful UI. The lack of care and effort put into actually walking around the world and it comes out to a total mess.

Artstyle is better, in skyrim everything is too dark imo and everything look slike dirt, oblivion is more colorful and lively
I like the stats system more in oblivion never liked percentage based perk systems in rpgs
The big quests like guilds are way better in oblivion. In skyrim you join the guild and after going on 1 excursion to a dank cave you are now leader lmao. In Oblivion you actually have to work for it gaining different ranks with fun symbols etc
I don't like the skyrim cities, it seems like everyone has a problem and they're way too one note. In Oblivion, some cities have problems, others hust don't and are just thriving normal cities which is way more realistic imo.
Overall skyrim feels like a much more empty experience, when you complete the civil war story line nobody not even elsif aknwoledges it which isn't the case in oblivion. In oblivion you get a better sense of a realistic world that isn't just tailored to the player. I also like the romanesque asthetic there way more than the viking style of skyrim and again the artstyle is just way better. Quests are not slightly better they are way better. I also like the core mechanics of oblivion like the stat system way more. Overall I cab't really think of anything i like better in skyrim, oblivion is just way better imo
Oblivion also did unkillable npcs right in my opinion by having them faint. I also hate the fucking "i yield" shit in skyrim whete they get right back to fighting you instantly after, not every person in the world should be a dishonest coward like that luckily there are mods like true yield. The slow clunky animation for it also looks fucking stupid which doesn't just go for that but for the whole game really, i much prefer the snappy look and style of oblivion, zooming in to npcs when they talk to you etc.
Oblivion muaic is also >> skyrim

>Artstyle is better
I too agree that changed/alt tinted trees to represent regions of temperate forests to marshes- or the drab gray that can barely even represent skyrim on its border truly show the dichotomy of the cultural melting pot that is Cyrrodil.
Or maybe even the thousands of drab Ayleid dungeons that look no different from the thousands of other buildings-
But yes lets just ignore the marshes between riften and windhelm, the grassy plains of whiterun- the running forests mountains and waterfalls of markarth interwoven with dwarven ruins
Even bringing DLC into it oblivion has the shivering isles which were obviously made by people who worked on morrowind (lol), skyrim has the recontextualized bloodmoon island and the forgotten vale- the outside falmer ruins interwoven between valleys, a return to the morrowind fastravel system, etc.
>Stats system
You don't seem to understand how oblivions leveling system works. You gain stats by doing actions repetedly but those effect what attributes you get when you level up. Which makes it so that your options are to just ignore the system and play on the easiest difficulty and just "deal with it" lmao which is retarded for an RPG- or the other alternative is to game it, take off your armor in fights before your next level, only use your fists because you can't level up your combat skills anymore etc.
Maybe if oblivion had a GOOD leveling system it'd be fine, but any game that requires you to forgo how you play to make it so you don't get a shitty level and end up with literal THOUSANDS of HP less, is a retarded shitty leveling system.
