I hope they manage to get it complete, and good. Giving Oblivion another try (this time exploring the rest of the world instead of focusing on the boring main quest) has been on my list for a while, and improved graphics would be welcome.

That font, though... not a good choice for quickly delivering information. Mods to the rescue?

Funny, for me it's the other way around. I probably played a couple hundred hours of Oblivion back in the day: modding, exploring and restarting. Never once finished the main quest. I'm thinking Skyblivion might be my chance to finally do it.

That's me with every Bethesda game I played. I don't even treat them as games to beat, just worlds to run around in.

just worlds to run around in

Which, ironically, was why I only played the main quest in Starfield vanilla. Running around empty, boring planets, with copy-pasted dungeons (there's only, what, 10 varieties?), felt like nothing but a colossal waste of time.

So glad I didn't pay for it (Gamepass, with apologies to my Linux friends).

I got through about half the main story before the load-door-load-fastravel-load-door-load made me just give up. I learned later you can directly fast travel from the map but for some reason when I tried it initially it didn't work and thought you had to go to your ship everytime.

Starfield never really grabbed my attention so I thankfully dodged a bullet with that one.

So glad I didn’t pay for it (Gamepass, with apologies to my Linux friends).

No need to apologise, people should have the option to play games however they want.
