I first started playing Oblivion on my Xbox 360, and I never was able to fish the story, due to being scared of some of the enemies. Throughout the years, I’ve always wanted to finish Oblivion, especially as I always prefer this game's aesthetics over Skyrim (too much snow, in my opinion). When I finally got my gaming PC, this was one of the first purchases I wanted to do, in order to not just finish the game, but to also mod it.

While I did play this game modded, I did not go all out, I mostly used some enhanced environment mods (adding flora, more trees, etc), the mod that created more detailed cities, and the companion mods (adding dogs and that one popular companion mod; if one ods, they know what I am referring to), but I did not add any overhaul mods for the graphics. Despite being an older game, I do believe the base game stands on its own, though the NPC models do leave room for improvement.

Great game to play vanilla or modded; I highly recommend it. I am currently almost done with the Shivering Isles DLC.

One of The best

I love this game soo much i was very disappointed with how poorly the remaster ran (played it on ps5 because at the time i was stuck on a rtx 2060) shivering isles ran soo much worse and they abandoned the remaster
. So im glad i can still play the original.

im sad this game won't get updated with controller support because i have accessibility issues with keyboard and mouse i tried steam imput and it's clunky not good.

But overall amazing game.

In its current state I cannot recommend it. It launches into an old style launcher that then auto detects your settings. Despite my specs it sets it to medium, 480p. I go in game to change it to 1080p (or change it to 1080p in the launcher which seems to have zero bearing on the in game settings) and the game tells me "restart for settings to take effect". Okay. Launch the game again, automatically detects my settings, the cycle continues. I am at a loss how to fix this.

the only good game bethestard has ever released - actually, scratch that, this ♥♥♥♥ is so jank in 2026 that they failed to even map dropping items from your inventory to a key, so you have to google how to even drop items, ♥♥♥♥ out of here lmao

Classic from the early 360 era as awesome as it was it is really showing it's age. If you can just go straight for the remaster and get fully lost and immersed in this wonderful world. When some says a 'bethesda rpg' this is what they are talking about.

Absolute Cinema

This game's awesome
