      The visuals are good, but it’s really buggy. Expect to look up quests online to find workarounds, or possibly to have to restart if parts of the main quest get stuck.

      Recent example: I had map markers for some towns & locations show up at the wrong places, and quick traveling put me high up in the air, so I died of fall damage. Had to look up the location online.

      Other example: a quest character didn’t continue at one point, so I had to look up how to finish the quest online. It worked fine after that, but without looking it up I couldn’t have finished.

      Both of these were in early parts of the main quest, and at least the latter seems quite common. Seems like they spent as much time fixing bugs as they’re known to do - none at all. I’d suggest pirating the game - Bethesda is a terrible company anyways, so it’s probably the morally correct choice no matter what.

      I was a huge fan of the original, and I have to say, they did a great job with this. The things I enjoy about it may not matter to you, though.

      It feels like the original Oblivion, by all accounts. For me, that’s not a big thrill, but I wasn’t a big fan of the original.

      It’s nice to see people being able to revisit the joys of their youth, though.
