50 bucks for vanilla Oblivion with a shiny coat of paint? Why do that when I can apply the paint myself and use Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul and a shitload of gameplay mods?

i did a playthrough of vanilla oblivion about 2 months ago (strange coincidence).
been watching streams of people paying/playing this new $50 remaster and i'm just.... why? OG is eons better still - caveat being you need just a few QOL mods. and it's not a, what, 120gb bloat with, imo, worse graphics (though admittedly i'm a sucker for janky oldschool 2005 graphics).
With OCO2 and the requisite texture packs (Qarl's and Bomret's) and the right ENB and weather mod it looks just fine. Most trouble I had was getting the LOD shit to work but it turned out I had forgotten the 4gb patcher when I reinstalled, once I fixed that my FPS skyrocketed and the crashes (mostly) stopped.
