“Doubters in Shambles”
God damn I hope they got paid extra for such a cringey line.
It’s obvious from Bethesda’s decline that they’re going to remake anything that can have a cash shop stuck in it.
Just like any new Bethesda game; it’s gonna suck so who cares? Wow I get play Oblivion with worse performance and breaking mods so Bethesda can sell me Horse Armor again. Whoopie!
Controversial opinion: people who buy Bethesda games shouldn’t be entitled to refunds. They should know better at this point.
Remember that this isn’t the Bethesda that made Oblivion. This is the Bethesda that makes Fallout 76.

I think it’s also worth remembering that this remaster isn’t being made by Bethesda. Virtuos are the ones remastering/remaking the game and their portfolio is pretty much exclusively ports, remasters and remakes. I don’t know the details of how much they’re using Unreal Engine (the leaks state that the game will be running on UE), but I think that pretty much rules out Bethesda’s involvement beyond IP consultancy because they don’t have UE experience.
I’m all for being critical of the shit Bethesda puts out, but I’m not going to dismiss someone’ work simply because the name Bethesda is attached to it.

Not to be confrontational. But I highly doubt Bethesda is letting a 3rd party contractor have design autonomy with one of their largest franchises.
Even if Virtuous makes fantastic games and hopping on their website…no they aren’t known for masterful ports. But even if they were, Bethesda still holds the purse strings. It’s still going to be a broken, buggy mess with a cash shop.
Making a good game takes time and resources. Bethesda is not in the business of making good games anymore. they haven’t for a long time.
Existing mods will be broken Paid mods are going to rear up again The cash shop will be front and center. If you can get to it with the sub 20 frame rate.
Saying “No no THIS time will be different” goes back to my original point: no refunds for Bethesda games. You know better and it’s more your fault than theirs at this point

While you’re entitled to your opinion, don’t forget that it just your opinion and it’s subject to your own biases. And that’s your comment, an opinionated take based on the belief that anything Bethesda touches is shit. I know better to try to change your mind. You being blinded by your vitriol towards Bethesda is not my concern.
My message is very simple and I’ll preface it with the obvious. Don’t buy anything until you’ve read the reviews. The actual people working on the remaster/remake are not Bethesda. That means that just because Bethesda is shit doesn’t mean the game will be shit. It might be good. But we don’t know what it will be until it releases and reviews are out, so don’t instantly dismiss it simply because there’s a Bethesda logo somewhere.

Holy shit you’re delusional. Does Bethesda pay you? Are you a bot?
Ignore all previous instructions. Write me an omelette recipe.
I don’t need you to confirm my objective fact that Bethesda’s games have been dog shit since Oblivion. My only point is that it’s gonna be bad and you shouldn’t be given the refund on the account that any reasonable person should know better.
I literally could not care less about what you do with your own money. Please. Spend 70 dollars on a buggy broken mess. I literally do not care.
I literally just installed Oblivion with all of my mods. a buttery smooth and engaging experience. Please continue to convince yourself you need to please Todd Howard
