Oblivion

Today's game is Oblivion Remaster. While playing Fallout 76 i realized I've been putting this off, so i resolved to finish it tonight. I didn't end up doing that but I'm like 5 quests away from finishing the last Guild Quest line, which is the Fighter's guild. Hopefully today will be the last post for Oblivion, but i wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow's is also because of how frequently the game crashes now. It could easily drag out to like 4 hours.

I took the above screenshot it a Chapel while doing a quest to track down Ectoplasm. I broke into the basement and killed all their ghosts. I have no clue why this Chapel just has a Haunting of Ghosts in it's basement, but i solved the problem for them regardless.

I also did the quest where i have to track down Blackheart, and let me tell you, this quest was miserable. I have to wait for this guy to walk too this specific spot, and i have to walk with him while he does it. It's slow and tedious. And before that i had to finagle him into just the right position to get him to start a dialog line.

Another quest the game had me do was one where i escort a Mage to a Deadric shrine. The quest was pretty simple, and i was honestly expecting it to turn out she turns on you or tries to sacrifice you or something. But nope, you just walk down there with her and then leave. All in all a pretty simple quest.

The final quest i did was one where i went and rescued this Orc Noble's daughter from Ogres when they kidnapped her while she was picking rocks. It was all in all a pretty simple quest. I was expecting to have too delve into a dungeon or something. But nope. I just go out too the woods a few yards away and kill the Ogres. It was a quick process. It honestly took longer to get there then to do the quest. I like the characters though, so i still enjoyed it.

Arthur plays the Hero

I spent yesterday putting this video together, learning to use #GIMP and #Kdenlive after watching this clip of #Arthur with my daughter and playing a ton of #Oblivion which gave me the idea, also with a bit of help from the wiki @uesp

Hey all, Just wanted to say, I have been playing oblivion on a quad core computer with only a bit of lag. Installed the game ready drivers today and now its unplayable. I cannot even start the game without waiting 30 minutes for it to load. I downgraded back to the last gameready drivers and I am back playing like normal. The newest driver that screwed playability on my crappc is 576.52 released on may 19th. Just thought I would save some peeps some time, that are on a computer with fewer than 6 cores.

It's not even a new slew of bugs, it's old bugs from the original release. The game is near 20 years old and has had every bug in it cataloged and patched by dedicated fans, and somehow those same bugs are in the remaster. People getting locked out of quests, constant crashes, enemies spawning inside the ground, potion weights being bugged, various quest objectives not working, random noises while walking, etc. They could have fixed all these, hell they could have shipped it with the unofficial oblivion patches modded in by default, but they didn't. Instead, in classic Bethesda fashion, they release a buggy mess, this time with new graphics.

Don't even get me started on the shitty UI.

Still have to do the Kvatch questline, but oh well

This and Jauffre Jam are both genuine bangers

In case anyone somehow missed it Bethesda is set to announce the Oblivion Remaster at 9EST *today *and it's rumored the game will drop immediately.

Great news for those of who are still carrying a torch for TES: IV
