    They can’t even keep the original voice acting in different languages intact in their remasters. They just removed them.

      Starfield released and no one liked it but as of its launch they are currently making Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda Studios isn’t really working on these remasters themselves at all, which is probably why Oblivion’s remaster had no real mod support.

        Supposedly they’ve been working on ES 6 for close to a decade. They showed a video of it back in '18.

          No, when they showed that video they said the game wouldn’t be in active development until after Starfield launched, so in reality they’ve been working on it for a little over 2 years now

      I prefer new games over remasters but in some cases remasters are welcome because the hardware has moved on so much that the game feels barely playable anymore. And some games I want to be able to play forever.

      I wouldn’t mind remaking old games, if they were actual remakes instead of remasters. I would 100% love a New Vegas remake that lets us go east of the Dam into Legion territory while having Ulysses as our companion. There’s so much cut content on New Vegas you could absolutely make a remake that keeps the story beats but is otherwise a fresh experience. I would also 100% love a remake of Morrowind that actually had the region of Morrowind instead of just Vvardenfell (You can keep the main quest largely the same, just move the locations across Morrowind).

      Remakes should take the original vision and make a new game while keeping the original vision intact. Games that had their original vision compromised are prime targets for remakes, which coincidentally are both Morrowind and New Vegas.

      Yeah, for all the issues fallout 4 had at least Bethesda finally figured out how to make guns that don’t suck to use

        I dunno. FO4 had that horrible experience where enemies take a couple dozen bullets to die.

        Not exactly elegant

          When I played it I found this ridiculous handmade pistol with a two shot magazine that I upgraded the fuck out of. Those two shots did so much damage I often didn’t need to suffer the extremely slow reload speed, it was awesome.

          My main beef with FO4 is I couldn’t really give less of a shit about designing and building bases and wished I could have fully not bothered with it.

          As someone who doesn’t care at all for Minecraft, it has cast a pretty long shadow over games ever since (looking at you tears of the kingdom)

          Depends on your skill level. Which it should in an rpg. Fallout 4 found the best balance yet imo. Including starfield.

        After taking out almost all RPG elements they have to compare to shooters and in that comparison they drown so hard.

      The most annoying thing to me is that even starfield still can’t make a lifelike facial expression. This is stuff other companies have been able to do for 15+ years.

    Sadly I don’t see why they’d bother. It’ll sell whatever they do. There’s no pressure for it to be any good.

    Fallout 3 was my first Fallout game, and therefore an absolute masterpiece. But I’ve already played it with enhanced graphics and fixed bugs through Nexusmods.

    I’ve heard that Bethesda couldn’t be bothered to fix the bugs in Oblivion.

      No a lot of them were left intentionally because it wouldn’t have felt like Oblivion without them.

      I consider the Elder Scrolls jank and glitches to be canon. Like breaking the game is a part of the universe, because of all the weird shit that’s already in the lore. Godhead, CHIM, Magna-Ge, the different planes of Oblivion being planets but also entire dimensions of existence. It’s a pretty wacky world.

        Glad some bugs were left in, but the game still runs really poorly and they never patched it. I bought Reblivion day 1… I’ll be more wary if I consider purchasing this one.
