Bethesda, makers of Fallout 76, may be interested because to use that mod you've to own both Oblivion and Skyrim, making Skyblivion a great scheme to sell you two more games.

Everyone that wants to play oblivion in skyrims engine already bought the game.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

I have no room to talk. My dumb ass bought both titles at least 3 times over, sooo I’ve given Bethesda/ZeniMax some bidness. I’m the problem.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

raises hand haven't bought either and I'm not gonna. Will play skyblivion, tho.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Did you play both of them?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Yes. Altho they're the sort of game I never finish. I play 10-20-30 hrs then I get bored and uninstall. But those first few hours are cool.

For people that just pirate the game Bethesda doesn't really care either way, they made plenty of money.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Skyblivion would be my only reason to buy 76.

Am I wrong in thinking that the creative lead for the Oblivion Remaster might not actually be able to speak for Bethesda as a whole?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 days ago

Why not? He's the development lead at Bethesda Game Studios who has worked there for 20 years.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago

Bethesda gave the Skyblivion team free Steam keys for the Remastered version. While I agree that we should apply skepticism, actions seem to demonstrate that Bethesda itself is cool with them, so I think it's probably appropriate for any one team member to speak on their behalf as a whole in this regard.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago

While you are absolutely correct in your skepticism, id like to add that multiple facets of Bethesda have both implicitly and explicitly either condoned or outright celebrated what the team is doing.

This project seems to not only just be on Bethesda's radar, but they view as a good thing.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago

as much as i don't like Bethesda's business decisions, this is pretty chill of them

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's wild to me how everyone has the attention span of a goldfish. Everyone hates Nintendo and Bethesda and whoever else until they flash some shiny object in front of their eyes and they forget everything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I knew everyone hated Nintendo, but I had no idea people hated Bethesda ? What is this about ? I know there are a lot of jokes about the many rererereleases of Skyrim, but I never thought it was hatred, is it ?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What is this about ?

Todd lying, broken games, shallow games, "were not planning on doing anything about it", the list goes on

Here be a video on the topic that includes images n shit as proof

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Thanks, I was completely out of the loop on this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Really? Have you never played a Bethesda game before? The issues are obvious.

Fallout 76 and Starfield were both massive failures. It doesn't help that Bethesda insists on sticking with the same outdated engine they've been using since 1997. Even Oblivion Remastered still relies on Gamebryo to run the game logic. UE5 is only used for the graphics.

They can't make fun games with compelling storylines anymore, and they all play the same because the mechanics for their titles haven't changed in nearly 30 years. They just make the same games over and over again because they don't know how to keep up with the times. I'm tired of them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Haven't played the recent ones, but I did play oblivion and Skyrim extensively, don't know how I missed the subject, it seems to be everywhere now that I know

[–] al_Kaholic 9 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I really couldn't give a fuck about playing oblivion, everyone has been forced fed Skyrim so many times now that they are willing to consume anything now. Enjoy playing remakes for the next decade probably on a subscription based model too.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don't know you, and I don't care to know you.

[–] al_Kaholic 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Shouldn't you be buying the new special edition $15 dollar horse armor upgrade?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My brother in christ, go outside

[–] al_Kaholic 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why outside there are even more people who sprinkle "Christ" into every conversation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh boy you really are mad about this aren't you? Deep breaths now, the scary game can't hurt you

[–] al_Kaholic 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You're so boring and your replies are less interesting and genuine than chat gpt. Have a pleasant day with your 82 toothpicks, if you hurry you'll make it to Kmart.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

So soon? And here I was enjoying myself

[–] al_Kaholic 7 points 5 days ago

Todd howard obviously.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Bethesda haters will see this and still say Bethesda purposely sabotages modders and other developers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Aaaand you were proven right xD

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Which version of Skyrim will Skyblivion require?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

One that will be succeeded with a next gen update.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Probably Special Edition or above
