"sweetening the pot a little" oh god, they are bringing back that dumb mechanic?

[@5226-p1e]

i don't mind the text to speech filled dialogue, that actually sounds pretty good to be honest, even though it's not perfect at times and the script writing maybe needs a bit of work in some cases.

[@5226-p1e]

one thing i do think needs to be brought back from the old oblivion game was the zoomed in conversation, though a bit tweaked so people around you aren't forzen like the old game did, i like the zoomed in personal conversation as it just felt right.

[@mikebuck421]

Very minor detail but looks like the ‘Level Up’ indicator as well as the leveling progress bar seem to be misaligned/not center aligned on the UI. Might just be me but check out 7:55. Looks like the entire ‘level progress’ component (bar and the text) are centered, but the bar is not centered with the health bar below. Can’t remember if that’s how it was done in Skyrim but it caught my eye.

[@lionidas4902]

To think that such project exists and to think that other modders can enhance the game even more after release is just amazing

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

It will probably just be a rerelease with slightly enhanced graphics anyway, instead of what Skyblivion is gonna bring to the table. Games like Injustice: Gods Among Us and Devil May Cry: Collector’s Edition are examples of games that seemingly were gonna get moderns graphics and all or simply enhanced models, only for us to get the same games albeit with slight differences

[@Ariasofnight]

After starfield? Can't expect that to be any good.

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

@@Ariasofnight I’m not sure how fair it really is to use Starfield as a comparison. That one was a new game with a new world setting and under a different genre, and its reasons for failing are clear. The Elder Scrolls franchise is an epic fantasy world, which says a lot on its own, especially from a writer’s perspective alone, and it’s been successful for as long as it has with five epic stories/releases in just the mainstream line. The Elder Scrolls already has a larger world built in-game and from lore. I don’t wanna come off as a cheerleader, I know how poor that can turn out, but you might be surprised TESVI the game comes out, in a good way.

Oblivion was my first elder scrolls game and nothing has come close to it. That beautiful music the memorable locations Kvatch, Anvil and Imperial city. The best dark brotherhood quests, vampirism from a friend. I remember finishing the grey orcs quest and really questioning my actions. The way the NPC's in the arena chastised me. Skyrim couldn't hold a candle to it.

[@DandelionMonk]

I honestly don't understand how people got so fixated on skyrim in the first place. Oblivion was just such a better world with so much better music and such a better and creative story. Innovative and versatile levelling mechanics with ridiculous utility of spells and items. I blame their early marketing strategy to claim skyrim was oblivion with unscripted dragons. Now they've advertised starfield as skyrim in space. Seems to me they need to stop living in the past or go back to the winning formula.

[@aribellatynsky3816]

I won't lie I started Oblivion long after I started Skyrim but Skyrim is such a flat world yes tons to do tons to explore but absolutely no immersion no ever mentions anything that's been done Skyrim may do combat better but Oblivion is a world I have a hard time playing Skyrim now that I've seen how great it could have been.

It just shows you what can be done with some extra time and actual love for the game... I don't know why they don't pay these people to work for them, but I guess they would just sell mods as a remaster or some DLC

[@morrius0757]

These modders are doing it for the passion of it, using their free time and not making money from it. Game Devs do it for a living, they need to get paid to eat, pay bills and to pay shareholders and financial backers. Sure, Devs often have a passion for their work, but the passion for your job and passion for a project you'll voluntarily doing are two completely different types of passions. One is for the love of it and the other is to ensure everyone gets paid who needs to be paid and to make sure the company makes enough money that it doesn't go bankrupt by either crafting a game that didn't sell as much as they hoped or something like Covid happens. On a side note, the Devs typically aren't to blame, the blame should fall on the CEOs and the shareholders/banks.

I've yet to experience a Bethesda mod that hasn't had their voice acting quality all over the place (good and bad acting and different microphones, etc). At least Oblivion is consistent. Anyways, the mod is trying to celebrate Oblivion, not bash on it, so replacing all the voice-acting would go against that.

[@r0ckbass]

[@fabianthecownip]

@@r0ckbass I didn't say that it was good... Just that it was consistent. Oblivion has semi-flat, non-intrusive acting all the way. In every damn mod I've played with voice acting however, there has been that one aspiring VA with a decent mic doing over-the-top acting, to some amateur who thought it would be cool to do a couple flat lines through the lap-top/phone microphone. Every now and then you get something in the middle that is actually good. But the range in ability and equipment usually takes me out of it, and that would definitely happen in such a massive undertaking as REVOICING EVERY NPC IN OBLIVION.

They're just placeholders for now. They're actually not allowed to use any of the original voices for copyright reasons, so a lot of the voice acting will be redone.

@@Keyecomposer to a degree that's true, however if the fog texture isn't fine enough it can look really bad. i just think bethesda puts way to much fog or mist or smoke particals in their games, though that's nice for some atmosphere in some cases, but sometimes it just makes the textures of other things in the enviroment nearly impossible to see, so why does everything need to be 4k in that case as well as resolution? i'm saying it's mostly wasted when other textures of fog or mist or smoke cover the textures.

Skyrim engine places nicer with mods than Oblivion engine did though so there might be hope. Oblivion was alot more finicky when it came to mods.

Play Morrowind and you’ll see it wasn’t the voice actors faults for the way they sound in oblivion. It’s very clearly a lack of direction. They sound incredible in Morrowind but seems like Bethesda mustve used a lot of first takes for the lines

[@ethanbenson]

@@glazzy4826I imagine that may have just seemed practical at the time given the enormous number of lines recorded for Oblivion relative to Morrowind. It would have been intimidating and perhaps there was concern around time. I’m sure if they could do it again, they would do some more takes.

[@nescirian]

In at least some games, the problem is a literal complete lack of direction - VAs are given their lines and read them, sometimes without even the context of the rest of the dialog. I don't know if that was the case for Oblivion specifically, but there are certainly lines in this video where that sounds like the case (e.g. "I want to go to fisherman's rock, where's that?" is delivered as if she's reacting to a place weebum-na has just mentioned, rather than as if she's demanding directions to a place that's the whole point of the conversation). I phrased this in the present tense as if it's an ongoing problem in games, but I think it is actually a bit better these days. It used to be very common though.

[@pilz4566]

@@peterlewis2178 how is the original voice acting terrible?

[@peterlewis2178]

@@pilz4566 It's just generally low quality. That's not really to say the voice actors were necessarily bad, it could have been how little direction they had, as was often with video game lines at the time. Often the voice actors would have to record lines with 0 context, and only do like 1 or 2 takes, and then move on to the next line. Not a method very conducive to immersive and realistic voice acting. From my memory (and seeing here), it's mostly just that the voices are way too "put on", like someone's trying to act, not actually embodying the character. There's a lot of more monotone delivery, or it's just not very expressive. Or it's way too expressive in an unrealistic way. Other times it might jump from one extreme to another in a jarring manner. And it didn't help that there were so few voice actors having to put on all the voices, so there was a lot of repetition and monotony in that regard. Mind you, I don't think this is a problem specific to Oblivion. I think Skyrim's voice acting isn't great either, though I do think it's better than Oblivion's. And in general, video games just tend to lack the kind of quality voice acting that you'd find in film and tv (though there are exceptions).

[@math2835]

​@@pilz4566Have you heard of the high elves?

Because the way Bethesda recorded all of the dialogue was done alphabetically instead of a natural flow chart or similar.

Its the most beautiful thing ive ever seen... Im tearing up a little.

[@arinarryn]

im lost at words... the dungeon the biomes and flora, it was perfect. im so pumped doing oblivion funny and wacky quests in such a beautiful setting. my only wish for this mod is that it a standalone mod game like enderal, so i still could play skyrim and skyblivion.

[@mithras666]

What would be more fun is making it a part of Skyrim itself. Like a distinct worldspace to access from skyrim. Wouldn't that be fun? You xan go from Skyrim to Oblivion seamlessly! I know there's thousands of years of time between them, but i'm sure there's a way to make it logical (maybe we travel to the past through M'aiq the Liar or the Augur of Dunlain, or preferably Akatosh himself!)

[@seanhembree6154]

​@@mithras666There are mods being developed like this. Look into Beyond Skyrim. It is making other regions of 4th Era Tamriel as DLC for Skyrim. Bruma, for example, is playable right now.

[@Friday_WasTaken]

i have been replaying oblivion past few weeks, just did this questline again. was fun. but holy crap you guys have done an amazing job. stayed trye to the original style and things like layout, but just elevated it to a whole nother level. superb work bravo

[@KamekoTsuruga]

man i am so pumped for this game. it looks so good, thank you to all the amazing modders, coders, artists and everyone that has put so much time and energy into this project!

[@ArsonAhmad]

I can not wait. Thank you guys!

[@REVOLVERE]

It's safe to say that I'm most hyped for Skyblivion and Apotheosis to be released in 2025! That should hold us out long enough for ES6 to be released. Hopefully by 2026.

[@guruthosamarthruin4459]

ES6 will be closer to 2030, and I'm not exaggerating.

[@clavesseptem7223]

I was actually wondering about Apotheosis recently. I just got back into Skyrim after a full PC replacement/upgrade and a foray into Oblivion. I'm on tenterhooks for Skyblivion now.

5 minutes of silence for all the people who died and will die before being able to enjoy this remaster.

[@huyvouc9785]

I have one question: will Skyblivion still have the persuasion wheel mini-game? That's among my most favorite parts of the game, though.

[@zackyvwasin339]

Just hearing the music and the guard same old voice actor makes me emotional 😅

[@DivjotSingh]

Damn you've done wonders to the trees and volumetric fog rendering. I don't remember Skyrim being this good looking! The clutter in the dungeon is also way too detailed! I guess I'll have to get a PC for this.

[@eddiec1961]

Thank you for all your efforts you all are doing a great job, i am looking forward to reliving this great game but made even better.

My all time favorite Elder Scrolls being kept alive! ♥️ Thank you so much for all of your hard work in making this dream a reality for all of us. I can not wait to sink many more thousands of hours into this beloved game. 😁

[@17461771]

I got watery eyes wathching this! I have played TES Oblivion the very it came out. And I continuously play it - numerous races as well as classes divided into thousands of hours. I never get tired of this game. I just cannot wait for the end result.. Excellent work!!! Greetings from the Kingdom of Sweden!

[@crimsonhawk52]

Honestly got a bit of whiplash seeing this after all the previous projects at Creation Mod Con. Everything prior to this looked like a student project or a 3d art portfolio in the guise of a playable skyrim mod. This was the first and only mod shown that actually looked like a professional, real, FUN video game that actually has a chance of coming out ever (2025 release year, baby!). Definitely your editing style and talent plays a huge part but I know from watching streams that the level of professionalism is pervasive in the whole team, even newcomers on the less player-facing stuff like navmesh. It's a culture and it gets me very excited because it feels like one with a LOT of forward momentum -- this project is coming! The end is in sight!

[@TattleDelta]

Well yeah, I'd hope it looked great considering it's been in development for 11 years.

@@TattleDelta Thats the port not the remaster.

[@Ellimist000]

Yes but the new projects are going to take much less time. The big ones have developed INSTITUTIONS, democratically collaborative groups (Beyond Skyrim *literally* has a constitution lol) that won't fail if one or two main people jump off to mod starfield or whatever, and a culture of sharing tools and resources, and support, and techniques, and voice acting has never been easier to get. I'm really confident about quite a few of these projects

[@alejandrovelasquez8288]

Great detail man. Thank you for creating this!

[@jimifender22]

[@Washanuga]

Oblivion is one of my fav games ever and a defining game of my youth. Unfortunately, I'm not much a fan of Skyrim or the Creation engine. So it's kinda hard for me to be excited about this, especially in 2025. Nonetheless, massive props to everyone who's put their time and effort into making this project a reality.
