There are mods that add Skyrim and Cyrodiil.
I think Project Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Tamriel are the ones.
I’ve not played them, watched a stream play one of them. The tippy part is they go off the OG lore so Cyrodiil is a more tropical/Mediterranean climate which is fun.

I’ve used Tamriel Rebuilt a while back and it was pretty fucking cool. There was only one small patch of the map that wasn’t completed when I played it, and none of it was populated. But they had the landmasses and cities all built and decorated. If they haven’t gotten NPCs populating places by now, I have no idea what they’ve been doing this whole time.

Fucking Thalmor denying the power of Talos of Atmora.
Seriously though, the canon explanation for Cyrodiil being the way it is now as opposed to original lore is that when Talos achieved CHIM he changed it, because that’s a thing you can do with the secret syllable of royalty. All part of the path to mantling Shor/Lorkhan via one of the Walking Ways and forging an empire.

Skyblivion in OpenMW

I thought I’d heard a rumor that TES 6 was going to be an Oblivion remake, which would be a dick move on Bethesda’s part if true.
towelie@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Half right. They are rumors that they’ll be releasing a remaster of Oblivion soon, which is a separate project from TES 6. And yeah, it’s a major dick move.

How? I don’t care how long a game takes to make, I want it to be good.
Shardikprime@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Imagine having Skyrim and Oblivion exist
And playing avowed lmao 🤣
samus12345@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Avowed’s story is pretty mid, but it’s still much better than either Oblivion or Skyrim’s.
Exploration-wise, of course Oblivion and Skyrim are better. That’s never been Obsidian’s focus.

I don’t think it’s even possible to untangle storytelling from experience in TES games. Their magic is that they immerse the player in a way no other game ever managed to, in my opinion. Every stone is part of the lore. And when you put those games into the time context they belong, you see the masterpiece.
That said, Avowed did a fairly good job, and storytelling has also advanced in 14 years since the last TES game.
Shardikprime@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Lol no , how are you writing that seriously.
The only thing avowed does better than any other game is being a massive turd sandwich 🤣🤣🤣
And that’s good if you like it, but please don’t tell everyone else that you are eating melted chocolate LMAO 🤣

I bought oblivion six years ago in anticipation of this release. Just another couple of years until it’s done.
mox@lemmy.sdf.org 5 weeks ago
I hope they manage to get it complete, and good. Giving Oblivion another try (this time exploring the rest of the world instead of focusing on the boring main quest) has been on my list for a while, and improved graphics would be welcome.
That font, though… not a good choice for quickly delivering information. Mods to the rescue?
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 weeks ago
Funny, for me it’s the other way around. I probably played a couple hundred hours of Oblivion back in the day: modding, exploring and restarting. Never once finished the main quest. I’m thinking Skyblivion might be my chance to finally do it.
Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
That’s me with every Bethesda game I played. I don’t even treat them as games to beat, just worlds to run around in.
StitchIsABitch@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Sweet, then I could finally play oblivion instead of giving up after the 34th crash
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
You really want to make the game infinite, create smooth way for s player to travel between each chapter making the entire world one huge game
fartsparkles@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
They need to. Strong rumours that Bethesda has tasked a studio to remake Oblivion in a different engine.
ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Let’s see who can do it better, BGS or unpaid indie devs.
My money is not on BGS.
DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 5 weeks ago
Frankly Bethesda would do very well with remastering all their previous tes games, including the first two.
I would really like to play Morrowind with the option of a modern UI instead of dragging windows around and clicking stuff
HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 5 weeks ago
A remaster for the first too wouldn’t be enough, I figure. I played daggerfall unity and it just does not hold up. A full on remake would be interesting, but they’d have to go hard, and reconceptualize a lot.
Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
A different engine? Are you sure? They just buffed up their creation engine 2 for Starfield.
fartsparkles@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Yeah an ex Virtuos developer said they had been working on a remake in UE5 for Bethesda. Can’t find the reference but it was a big rumour a while ago.
Venicon@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I really hope so! It seems like such a no brainer, get a studio to remake the bulk of it and keep creative control. I came into TES world in Skyrim and would love to go back through them but I’m a snob for a modern looking game now.
Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Even if they do, I feel like both projects will have different enough approach to things to avoid making the other obsolete. Maybe… possibly.
I’ll certainly take the unofficial remake over the Bethesda one due to lower requirements and lack of Creation Club. That, and I’m just more interested in the fan interpretation of Cyrodiil to be honest.
