Oblivion Remastered Fan Calls On Community To “Stop Posting Skyrim Hate Posts”

by

Summary

  • There have been countless posts about how much better Oblivion is than Skyrim since the remaster.
  • But even Oblivion fans are getting sick of these, calling on the community to quiet down and just enjoy both games.
  • After all, it was Oblivion that was once the ‘dumbed down’ RPG, cutting plenty of features from Morrowind and Daggerfall.

As a fellow enthusiast who jumped into this epic saga with Skyrim (now 14 years young), I can’t help but share my excitement about the Oblivion remaster. For those like me who haven’t yet explored Cyrodiil, it’s going to be our long-awaited introduction to the source of all the commotion, understanding why so many have passionately argued that it surpasses Skyrim – lamenting over the trimmed features and simplified RPG aspects that were left on the table. And

Peek into any gaming subreddit or online forum currently, and you’ll find numerous posts praising Oblivion over Skyrim in aspects like magic, quests, or skills. However, even supporters of Oblivion are growing weary of the constant comparisons; user u/Pretend-Ad-3954 implored the community to halt the negative comments about Skyrim. “It’s sad…” they said, “…to keep comparing games. Each game – Oblivion, Skyrim, Morrowind – possesses unique qualities that the others don’t.

Reframing for a more natural and easy-to-understand language: At the time of this writing, it has received nearly 6,000 upvotes, indicating that many people agree with this sentiment. User u/Dmbender commented, “It’s great to have three fantastic games set in the same universe, each playing uniquely from one another.” Not many fanbases are fortunate enough to enjoy such a variety of experiences within a single franchise.

Back then, I was already mature enough to witness countless forum discussions about how Morrowind embodied the essence of a role-playing game, as Oblivion had just been released and was the newest title in the gaming scene.

According to u/Escapist-Loner-9791, they don’t enjoy the group of people who favor ‘Skyrim over Oblivion’ because they find Oblivion’s dungeons more captivating. They argue that while most Skyrim dungeons offer something intriguing, many of Oblivion’s dungeons are repetitive and lack significance, making them seem as if they were generated randomly. In contrast, they point out that the majority of Oblivion’s dungeons have little to no notable features, unlike Skyrim’s dungeons which often make exploration worthwhile.

Fans Are Itching To Play Skyrim After Oblivion Remastered

This discussion seems to be inspiring folks to revisit The Elder Scrolls collection, including classics like Skyrim, which has sparked renewed curiosity about the series following a lengthy hiatus in terms of main game releases. As u/orion19819 put it, playing Oblivion Remastered has reignited their passion for both games, and they’re eager to dive back into Skyrim post-discussion!

Whenever I gaze upon the aurora dancing above the Jerral Mountains or behold the Throat of the World, a deep yearning stirs within me to revisit the land of Skyrim once more. Without a doubt, I’ll be returning to Skyrim after I’ve vanquished Oblivion.

I appreciate the variation between them, which keeps me engaged as I switch between them, just as it does with Morrowind.

According to u/friendliest_sheep, playing the Oblivion remaster sparked a greater admiration within them for both versions. They noted that while each offers unique experiences, they both seem incomplete without the presence of the other.

It was inevitable. For many, comparing Oblivion to a new TES game might as well be a common practice, given that several concepts were set aside for Skyrim, such as spell crafting and melee combat. Therefore, it’s not surprising that people would compare the two. However, for fairness, Bethesda, it’s high time you remaster Morrowind so we can have this discussion once more in a few years, but with Oblivion taking Skyrim’s place – oh my goodness, they removed levitation!?
