Yes. You could already do that in the OG Oblivion. The regions of Tamriel were already mapped out.

In Skyrim you also have the chance to spot the Imperial capital. It exists as a low poly model in-game.

Good job, reporter! You’ve done your work to signal boost an AAA game for corporate profits without managing to actually add any new information!

Games “Journalism” 2025!

I think even better is the multitude of sites that have just copy/pasted the wikia ‘Oblivion Console Commands’ page as ‘new content’ for Oblivion Remastered - but quite a few of the listed commands don’t work on Remastered.

I know they copied the wikia page and not the UESP page too as only UESP mentions you occasionally need to wrap refid’s in quotes for Oblivion. (if you’re using a refid as the first part of a command ie. “abc123”.moveto player) which you’ll need to know as PRID is dead.

edit: bat doesn’t work either! This is a travesty! Won’t someone rid me of these turbulent quest items!

The first good thing I read about the polished version of the game. The bar is really low with Bethesda

MrFinnbean,

Im confused? I have heard mostly positive things about the game.

vxx, (edited )

I read it’s badly optimised and even monster PCs cant run it smoothly. It crashes a lot. It’s 55€… for a remaster, not even a remake.

At least you can see a Mountain of skyrim.

Even steam reviews from the first day fans are only around 80% positive, which says a lot for the early stage (KCD2 is at 94%, oblivion GOTY is 95%), and most complain about Performance issues and that they cant get more than 60fps

It’s a hard pass for me and feels like a money grab.

That’s Unreal Engine 5 for you. Expect anything made with UE5 to be this way.

vxx,

Sure, blame the engine.

Why would they even pick it up as their choice of they dont expect better results? Maybe because it’s the least effort, the cheapest solution? I’m just speculating here, but when I expect UE5 to always suck, it wouldn’t be my choice if I had quality in mind.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

You’ll expect it to always suck because you’re the consumer. UE has, since UE4, put itself in the position of being the number 1 go-to engine everyone thinks about when doing amazing visuals as easily and cheaply as possible. Even indie devs instantly think about Unreal when thinking about good looking graphics.

So yes, I blame the engine for making itself a cheap, lazy way of making great looking graphics, because it’s even effecting how GPU’s are being developed.

vxx, (edited )

No, you were the one that told me that it always sucks, it has nothing to do with my expectations.

I expect a good company to know and work with good tools, not cheap ones.

It starts with handyman and shouldnt stop at game development.

If I hire a company and they come with dirty tools known to be bad, I send them home and hire someone that knows and values their work.

If youre a one man company I don’t care as much as if you were one of the biggest out there pretending to be the best.

Blaming the company that created the tool is not the way, it’s the professionals that use it.

I expect a good company to know and work with good tools, not cheap ones.

Then you’re incredibly naive and haven’t paid attention to the gaming industry these days.

vxx, (edited )

And that’s why there’s only garbage coming out these days from the big studios, yes.

Why do you use that to defend them? What do you gain from defending the greedy?

The game drops to 20fps on a 4070 btw, and you’re here pretending it has to be like that because a lot of studios put the least effort they think they can get away with.

How do you explain that modders will be fixing a lot of the issues, like they always have to do with Bethesda games? Wouldn’t that be impossible if it’s the engines fault?

Why have you submitted to mediocracy? Why do you accept it and even go as far to defend it?

No wonder they think they can get away with it, because apparently they can with people like you making excuses for the.

Call me when you can actually move between regions.

@stephen@lemmy.today avatar

Can you move between them in Elder Scrolls Online? I’ve never played myself, but it would be cool to walk between the locations.

rogermiraki,

I’ve only ever played it for short spans of time, but Im pretty sure you can. I don’t know how seemless it is.

Maestro,

You can do that since 2015 when the Imperial City was added to The Elder Scrolls Online

spooky2092,

Unfortunately, that would require me to play an MMO, so that’s out.

BlameTheAntifa,

That game is called Arena. It was the first Elder Scrolls game.

Eggyhead,

Daggerfall as well, right?

SwiggitySwole,

Technically, though Arena was all of Tamriel and Daggerfall was High Rock, northern Hammerfell and the disputed territory of Orsinium

JustARaccoon, do games w Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered

… yeah Skyrim the region exists just next door to Cyrodiil, crazy that.

undeffeined, do games w Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered

Are you sure? It looks similar but its not the same.

ramble81, do games w Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered

So I know nothing about the games but each are set in the same world and right next to each other? Do they take place in the same timeframe?

Reminds me a bit of RDR1 and RDR2

VindictiveJudge,
@VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

Oblivion and Skyrim are 200 years apart, but geographically border each other. Classic Oblivion didn’t render Skyrim, but that was more for technical reasons than anything else. If you get high enough up in Skyrim on a clear day you can see the entire continent.

TurboHarbinger, do games w Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered

Just like you can see cyrodiil from skyrim.

But sure, let’s make an stupid article about it.

ad revenue isn’t gonna generate itself

SkyezOpen,

If we can generate content with Ai I’m sure we can generate views too. Just an endless ouroboros of Ai generating and viewing it’s own shit to milk ad money.

Krocodil. Not even once.

This photo is the BG3 home screen lmao

HiddenLychee,

Yeah I mean they straight ripped it off lol

CosmoNova,

It’s also inspired by „the wanderer“ painting that has been referenced a million times without most people even realizing that yes, someone did that first.

FooBarrington,

Do you mean “Wanderer above the sea of fog”?

The greenery makes it hard for me to see that. I really love Elden Rings take on that painting:

You can see the mountain range that borders 2 countries? Stop the fucking presses.

callouscomic, do games w Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered

Yes, it appears to be true; according to numerous posts all over Reddit and Twitter, you can see

Wow. Article based on social media posts. Didn’t even try it themselves. Garbage.

Ai slop articles about vidya

Eyck_of_denesle,

This is just a game. I have been seeing so many serious, life and death related news articles with their source being a tweet. This industry is cooked.

carrion0409, do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

I gotta thank Ubisoft for saving me money by consistently saying dumbass shit so I don’t buy their crappy games. The one Elon tweet was still pretty funny though I won’t lie.

SSNs4evr, do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

The way of the future…VCRs went away. DVDRs went away, replaced with DVRs and membership streaming, where you can “buy” a movie on Amazon Prime, but if they lose the rights to the movie, so do you - oh well. Your Tesla will brick, if Elon gets mad at you, and your video games will stop working if “the man” unplugs the server. Oh, and dont get caught pulling out your old dusty VCR to record the Super Bowl to watch later…thats a copyright violation. The oligarchs want to make sure the plebes eventually own nothing. If the masters can take it all away, the peasants will do what they’re told, be quiet about it, and smile when in sight of the masters.

Melonpoly, do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

And people will still defend this company

FeelzGoodMan420,

Does anyone defend them? I think what happens is that people get mad at them but then still buy the games anyway hecause they’re absolute fucking idiots. I believe this is what happens.

Melonpoly,

Yeah, that’s true

Bakkoda,

People are still buying the games. Call it what you want but if you give them money it’s your fault they keep doing this.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Yea that’s exactly what I’m saying. I blame the consumers. It’s not like they don’t have options.

carrion0409,

Same goes for the people who whine about how broken COD is yet still buy it every single year. People often wonder why the game industry is the way it is, but then you realize the average person has a gold fish brain and will keep wasting their money on crap just to be disappointed over and over. Companies absolutely love that kind of customer and would rather rely on them than actually try.

Phoenicianpirate, do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

This is why I will always have some nostalgia for physical media. I still got CDs I bought in the 90s (which I’ve copied onto my hard drives a long, long time ago) and while they need a like coaxing to work at times, they are forever mine and no one can take them from me.

I was very hesitant to go on steam specifically for their ‘you don’t own shit even if you paid and followed the rules’ garbage.

keen,
@keen@lemmy.world avatar

Steam is crazy in how it’s still usable and not completely enshittified after existing for so many years. I don’t know how they do it

Phoenicianpirate,

I bought Star Wars squadrons and it worked for a bit. Now it doesn’t even boot and I don’t know why. Initially it was my shitty anti-virus that was causing the problem, but even after disabling it it doesn’t load.

infinitesunrise,
@infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net avatar

It’s called staying away from venture capital. It really is as simple as that. Because Valve has a lucrative business model they have no need or desire to raise capital from outside investors, therefore there is nobody to squeeze them for value at the expense of their customers.

If you watch Cory Doctorow’s talk where he coined the word “enshittification” he explains how the process works, and it starts with outside investment. Enshittification is just a catchy term for value extraction, from the perspective of the customer.

Damn, now I understand the hype!
