Inviting the community to share their experience with the game so far. A bit of mutual aid in the lemmy gaming sphere. Don’t be shy about creating your own “Bugs, Glitches, and Fixes” thread about the games you enjoy.
I finished the base game earlier today, doing the shivering isles now. It’s a great remaster, but it definitely needs a few updates. Performance and bugs aside, the balance of the game is all over the place and the difficulty options are broken. Expert is way too hard, adept is too easy. Luckily, modders already fixed a lot of things.
I highly recommend modding your game to improve a few things:
-
Ultimate Engine Tweaks improves performance at zero cost to graphics. It also helped significantly with stutters.
-
Difficulty Slider Fixed makes the difference between difficulties less drastic
-
More Damage makes everything (including enemies) deal more damage. A must have imo because Bethesda’s school of spongy enemies is really outdated game design. 2x more damage on everything makes combat deadlier and more exciting.
P.S. there’s an “unofficial oblivion remastered patch mod” that claims to fix thousands of bugs, but in reality it makes the game more unstable and has its own issues. Don’t use it yet.
