Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (original release)

I've played it before, though never finished it. After jamming on Skyrim for a couple of years, I wanted an RPG with some fresh content so I picked it up again. The graphics are so dated that they almost wrap around to retro again, but I've been having fun planning and then executing a build wrt stats, skills, playstyle, etc.

It's been enough fun that I'm thinking of picking up the official remaster at some point, but I'm more interested in the community version made in the Skyrim engine, Skyblivion. Have been following the project for a while and it's almost done!

For what it’s worth, I played about 90 hours in the remastered and had a great time with it. Some people had performance issues which I think is where most of the negative press came from, but I never noticed it personally.
