This is fantastic, but for those who have only playedSkyrim, diving intoOblivionmight be a little jarring.
Whileplenty ofOblivion Remasteredwill feel familiar toSkyrimplayers, there are a few things that are still a step backward.
Skyrimhas 66 potential spouses, 30 female and 36 male.
However,Obliviondoesn’t even have this basic system, with no marriage options.
However, one area where the graphics are still a little odd are the characters who inhabit the world.
The originalOblivionhad only 14 voice actors in the base game, including Todd Howard.
In contrast,Oblivionhas only nine permanent followers on offer, with most of those linked to long questlines.
Oblivion is back, and so is the arena.
On top of being extremely irritating, the enthusiastic bosmer doesn’t fight and will flee during battle.
However, players coming fromSkyrimmay have to tweak their favorite character buildsbefore venturing into Cyrodiil.
This, in turn, influenced the disposition of NPCs, depending on their own alignment.
Lawful NPCs preferred characters with high fame, while criminals favored those with high infamy.

Skyrimlacked this system, which at times could make the world feel less immersive.
This will make playingOblivionfeel very different fromSkyrim, but in a positive way.
One of the best aspects ofOblivion’s magic system isthe ability to create custom spells.
Picking locks in Oblivion Remastered can be difficult if youre used to Skyrims much easier lockpicking mini-game.
Here are some tips and tricks.
I find this a refreshing change fromSkyrim’s Lockpicking skill, which is virtually useless to level up.
InSkyrim,weapons and armor could be crafted and improvedright from the start of the game.
Unfortunately, there is no crafting for equipment inOblivion.
However,weapons and armor can be repaired using repair hammersfound throughout the world.
Using these will improve the Armorer skill, which will eventually allow even magical items to be repaired.
This meant that after a certain level, the Dragonborn was basically an unstoppable god.
Oblivion Remasteredhas stuck to the original’s level scaling, meaning that loot and enemies scale with the player.
