Video Comparison of Remastered Oblivion Enemies vs. the Original Game

Sure, I’ll take a swing at it. Here goes nothing:

So, there’s this thing, Oblivion Remastered, right? It’s like, they’ve taken the original 2006 vibe and splashed on some high-def makeup. Gotta say, the visuals? Chef’s kiss. I stumbled upon this video — can’t even remember the channel — but it showed a side-by-side of old monsters and their new snazzy looks. Fascinating stuff.

Remember Frost Atronach? Apparently, everyone’s jazzed about its new glow-up. But, like, the Troll’s new look? Nah. Lost that mossy vibe. Kinda sad, honestly. Less camo and there’s something funky about that missing third eye. Makes ya feel things, doesn’t it?

Anyway, Oblivion hit the scene back in ’06 and crushed it. Over 3 mil sold by the next year. Wild, huh? It was like Bethesda’s golden child before Skyrim swooped in and stole the show. Fast forward, and Oblivion Remastered is kinda, sorta sparking that old magic. Yeah, I’ve heard folks say it’s even bigger than the OG. Who’d have thought?

But let’s be real. Oblivion wasn’t flawless. Compared to Morrowind’s wild landscapes and quirky cultures, Cyrodiil seemed, uh, tame? Mundane? And that leveling system… oof. It fought to keep up once Bethesda dipped its toes into world scaling. Some dungeons? Meh. Bethesda tried fixing stuff with Skyrim and the Shivering Isles, but Virtuos decided to keep the remaster close to its roots. Some combat tweaks, a pinch of leveling changes. That’s it.

Graphics tho? Total overhaul. Kinda like seeing Cyrodiil with fresh eyes. They nailed it. RedDeadRagdolls showed us the makeover, and it’s something. The races, the landscapes — all popping with personality and life. Cyrodiil feels distinct in a way that’s hard to describe. It’s odd but in a good way.

Okay, focus… where was I? The Atronachs, right! Fans are loving the Frost and Storm versions. The Scamp’s another story; creepier and scarier in its newfound glory. But that Troll? Falling short for some.

Overall, they’ve tried staying true to Oblivion’s original vibe but sprinkled in their own tweaks. Minotaurs and Scamps got some love too. For those unimpressed with design changes, mods are saving the day. Mods, am I right?

Technically speaking, some players are pulling their hair out over glitches. Why are bugs always a thing? Player community’s on edge, crossing fingers for a patch from Virtuos and Bethesda. Fingers crossed, eh?

Phew, that’s my brain dump. What’s next?
