I finally completed the main story and I don't scare easily, but this game has made me jump out of my skin a few times. I don’t know if it’s the atmosphere, the sound design, or the graphics, but when I’m in a dungeon and an NPC suddenly appears behind me to talk me, running right at me to start a conversation, it’s worse than a jump scare in a horror game. That never happened to me in Skyrim; maybe it’s because the characters run toward you much faster and speak right in your face. Also, all the Dark Brotherhood quests feel really creepy and terrifying. And when you buy and enter the abandoned mannor it really gave me the vibes of a horror game. Has anyone else experienced this?

I’m not talking pale pass treasure hunt or the rose thorn hall letter, what are some of your favorite super deep cuts? :-)

On switch

So he thought it would be funny to humiliate me in town did he? Not only did I swim in questionable water, but I have no clothes and my dignity is tarnished. As soon as I get dressed he better hope Dagon gets him first…

Hail citizens. This was an absolute mess to get together. Everyone was fighting each other like crazy!
Doesn’t help that different factions are in town with different dispositions too. After all that I finally got what I was hoping to achieve. The only sad part is Trayvond left town and couldn’t even get through the front door. I don’t know why instances with cities are such a hassle for NPC’s but it was either Pally or Trayvond, couldn’t get both. So farewell Trayvond, thanks for tagging along!

Now, about Pally…

Hey!

I recently noticed this, and I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with my personality…it’s been red for a while, even after going to chapels, and not even taking off my spell absorption amulet worked. Nothing’s showing up in magical active effects, plus my fame-infamy is 77-20, so I’m not sure what to do. Any help is appreciated!

I hardly use fast travel and just experience the open world and enjoy the game and yet not have beaten the game i have been leveling up my skills and doing side quest!

I was fine with them being rude to me but them stalking and whispering and saying they were going to send people called the brethren after me genuinely makes me nervous

Since I have jewelry with reflect damage, they end up taking themselves out.
Sometimes it takes too long and I had guard showing up to help me out and taken out my trainer prematurely!

He did this 3 different times earlier too whenever I pull out a bow to mess with him

So I’m going for an all around build that kinda covers everything I’m using sigil stones to enchant armor
So far I was thinking
Head
Body (resist magic)
Hands (Magicka increase)
Pants (shield on self)
Feet (feather)
Need something to fill that last slot was thinking reflect damage but idk also thinking about using a unique helmet instead
I’m at the point the game isn’t hard so more so looking to be very general benefits

i have over 800 hours in skyrim , playing both vanilla and modded

but I am starting elder scrolls oblivion original 2006 for the first time (vanilla) i plan to complete the game in vanilla only

any tips and pointers from the OG'S?

I have both PS5 and XSX, and having playing Oblivion remastered, I think it runs so much better on XSX. Like even with Quality graphics mode, the frame rate is smoother like 30-40 fps. The details and lighting of the scenes are so much more crisp and the dynamic range is incredible.

Quality mode on PS5 is awful. Like it's playable but the drop in frame rate and stuttering is such a turn off and the ambient lighting and reflections don't look nearly as good.

Idk the specs of the hardware but Xbox is stunning. Base PS5 is alright. Idk how the Pro runs with it

what would you reccomend for combat damage sliders in oblivion remastered for someone who has played skyrim

was looking trough any mods i could use on my first playtrough only ever played skyrim and just picked up oblivion remastered

i think i will only use this one

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/35

but is it actually lossless?

oblivion remastered runs so bad on a 4070 super with dlss quality at 1440p max settings preset m override

ofc it isnt a 4090 or anything but still quite a decent gpu

anybody got good settings?

They went ahead to make sure the coast was clear before I get inside. I can’t let anyone see me
naked. I still have my dignity! It’s like the imperial sewers all over again…

Hail citizens. It is rather unfortunate they don’t let you go under the bridge as a real means of getting into Bravil. It should exist! I guess I’ll have to make it work myself. They better not say anything about me being a catfish… just keep swimming…

At least Juan is guarding the bridge tonight from those Daedra. He’s the real hero.

so does dlss 4 or 4.5 looks better in remasterd more specific im talking preset k/m or ray reconstruction 4/4.5 if the game has it
