Oblivion Remastered: Bethesda Seeks Player Feedback for Future Updates and Improvements
The highly anticipated Oblivion Remastered has arrived, and Bethesda is already looking to enhance the player experience. Released recently, the remastered version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion aims to modernize the classic RPG with stunning visuals and refined gameplay. However, Bethesda isn't stopping there; they're actively seeking player feedback to shape the game's future.
According to recent reports, Bethesda is engaging directly with the community through its official Discord server. They're gathering suggestions and relaying player ideas to the development team on a constant basis. This hands-on approach demonstrates Bethesda's commitment to ensuring that Oblivion Remastered meets the expectations of both veteran fans and new players alike.
Several key areas for improvement have already emerged from player discussions. These include:
- Inventory Management: Players are requesting better inventory sorting and an easier way to compare equipment.
- Loot Screens: More informative loot screens that display weight limits are highly desired.
- Difficulty Balancing: Many players feel that the Adept difficulty is too easy, while Expert is overly challenging.
- Enemy Scaling: Some players are seeking a further reduction in enemy scaling.
- Enemy AI: Improved enemy AI in combat scenarios is also a common request.
- Usability Tweaks: Suggestions include a friendly fire toggle, updated dungeon icons, easier access to maps, options to disable HUD elements and the ability to change characters appearance
- Performance: Ensuring the game is smoother across the board
One reviewer noted that Oblivion Remastered works because of its "humble, even self-depreciating act of modernisation." The updated visuals and controls bring the game in line with contemporary standards, while retaining the charm and quirky elements of the original. The reviewer also praised the game's unique quest design and sense of humor. They describe the game as "Skyrim but with charm" and point out that the world's "eating, sleeping, nattering idiots" have a surprising and enduring appeal. The updated environments create a funny contrast to the erratic behavior of the many NPCs found throughout the realm.
Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to Cyrodiil, Oblivion Remastered offers a unique and engaging RPG experience. The game invites you to "pick a direction and start walking," giving you the option to become anything from a mage to a warrior. The game offers great replayability as a result, and also offers a strong contrast to other games in the genre.
Bethesda's commitment to player feedback suggests that Oblivion Remastered will only continue to improve over time. What are your thoughts on Oblivion Remastered? Share your comments and suggestions below!
