I’m pretty curious about this. I tried Oblivion a few years ago having never played it before and it just felt too clunky for me to want to play much past the tutorial. Which is a shame because I’ve heard there’s a lot of cool stuff in the game I didn’t get to see.
If this makes things feel better to play and is a good all around remaster, maybe I’ll pick it up and give it another go.

Oblivion was the first game I ever put 100+ hours into, but every time I’ve tried to get back into it over the years, it was just too clunky and awkward. Bethesda games always age poorly.
But this remaster is fucking incredible and I very irresponsibly wasted an entire day yesterday playing it. They fixed and polished it so it feels like a modern game again. The only issue I had was poor performance in a lot of areas, like frequent drops down to 40 fps on my powerful PC. I’m hoping a patch will fix that soon.
Admittedly, my opinion is heavily clouded by nostalgia, so temper your expectations in case my comment actually convinces you to buy it. It’s a great game, but it’s smaller and somewhat clunkier than Skyrim.
