Looks good, but I'll probably wait a bit and buy it outright once I don't have a lot of things I need to buy.

When my main PC comes back from vacation I will create a new Microsoft account and get a Game Pass trial. Then I'll go into complete isolation for a week or so, probably grow a meter long beard and learn some spells while I am at it.

I'm looking forward to see the reworked but familiar faces again and will be interesting to see what type of new dialogue they have put in the game.

Can't say I'm excited at all, I'm afraid. I played the bahoovies out of it back in the day. The only thing I would really want to do is the Razor dungeon, which I got jipped out of because I got a new computer with Windows Vista and the DLC's DRM broke under 64-bit.

Watching the trailer was great, though! The graphics look SO much nicer!

I didn't watch the big video much. What are they planning to tweak? There was a big issue with the level scaling and one of the earlier main mission quests, where you go to a central town starting with "K." If you go there right away, it's easy and anti-climactic as little imps are guarding a pretty important thing. If you pull the "I'll do everything else first, then do the main quest" tactic, the mission is incredibly hard with huge demons around every corner.

There was also a pretty major XBox-factor, with the underground areas divided up into really small areas because the old XBox didn't have enough RAM to deal with anything larger. They could knock down a lot of walls in those places today.

Throwing in this one as it goes over them all - https://gamerant.com/elder-scrolls-...pdates-improvements-original-game-comparison/

Looks like they might have fixed the scaling issue, i'm not sure since you can only adjust the sliders but at least it will make them less sponge?

I'm honestly more excited to see my wife play this than I am of playing it myself. She loves Skyrim but has never tried Oblivion.
