OK, we've gotta have at least one quasi-bougie pay piggie who bought the fucking thing already -- this is more than just a re-skin, right? This is a full port to the Fallout 4 / Starfield vintage of the Creation engine with high detail models and full HD textures, right?
...right?!
Asking for a friend who will probably buy it for $15 on Steam sale in a couple of months.
From what people here have said they're using the original engine with new assets.
Just pirate it. I think it's better than a reskin from what people tell me, but it still annoys me that people are treating it like gods second coming considering Skyblivion exists.
It's up on rutracker

Uh hi I guess that's me lol
It's kinda a reskin and kinda not. They hacked the old engine to run into UE5, and re-did all the assets, while remaining extremely faithful to the OG gameplay.
Having the old engine also means console commands etc work, which is nice, but also all the loading screens where they usually are, which means like 2/3 per large building. Not much of an issue considering how fast it loads on modern hardware.
The re-balanced some elements of the game which were jarring (like enemies getting way over-levelled if you focused on your primary skills), but kept all the OG dialogue (and recordings) and weirdness of the OG game.
They remade all the visuals, including the assets, but kept the original sounds (honestly the music did not age all that well, I wish they re-recorded it with actual instruments)
I don't feel ripped off at all, considering modern games now ask up to 80e for base version of games and this was 55e. Even ignoring the ripoff that is current day full AAA pricing, they did put a lot of work into this and I don't think 55e is absurd.
I hope that kind of remake is something they consider bringing to other games that aged poorly, although I would like them to actually tweak & fix some elements which I feel aged poorly.
I think they were scared of pissing off purists by re-recording bad lines, OG oblivion treated VAs terribly and it is very much felt. Did you know they recorded the lines alphabetically? Lmao And also they should consider re-recording the music (the digital instruments sound way too plastic-y)
I'm don't play the games, but apparently all the graphics are done in unreal engine 5 and the backend stuff is all on the latest creation engine, so it's a full remake of the game.
You can watch the gameplay footage on YouTube, it looks nothing like the original game, all assets, animations and lighting is completely new.
