Skyblivion - Oblivion in Skyrim

[Clockwork Knight]

The Walking Ways are six interrelated paths to achieving divinity, or "mantling", of which CHIM is the fifth. All paths seem to require some understanding of the Hamster wheel, the structure of the Aurbis. According to Vivec, the first to understand the concept was Lorkhan, whose curiosity and desire for change drove him to the rim of the Wheel and beyond, where he looked back at the Aurbis sideways and thereby learned the name of God: I (as a hamster wheel, observed from the side, is an "I").

Nah, hamster wheel from the side is an 'H'.

Skyrim + Oblivion? 1 engine can only handle so much decline.

I think the team at Bethesda will be happy to disprove that little thought for you.

 

[unfairlight]

guess im posting it here too

 

[unfairlight]

doublepost, again.

Spoiler

It's admirable how faithful they stayed to everything looking like shit past twenty feet away.

I think the colours look a bit too dull, more saturation!

Also, more bloom would be nice too.

Like i posted before, why not make a post-war Cyrodiil instead of the same damn game again...meh

 

[Luzur]

Whenever I see some screen like this I am struck that there are people who like to watch figures in armors hours upon end when they dont have to. Gimme a nekkid wimmin any time~

I dunno, i play in FPS mode all the time so i dont see much self-butt.

Aren't these ppl gonna run into the same issues as FO3 remake in FO4?

i.e. Legal issues with audio files.

 

[Dux]

I think that only pertains to well-known cameo voice actors, like the magnetic Sean Bean and Liam "Mr. Prozac" Neeson, as well as some real-life music.

The ordinary stable of peasant voice actors probably wouldn't count in such an affair. Although that is the sort of thing a modder really should look into before diving headfirst into this kind of uncalled for autism. But they don't seem too keen on such logic so who knows.

Are they not allowed to use the voice actors from Oblivion?

 

[Butter]

My totally "expert" legal opinion is that if Skyblivion requires a working Oblivion installation (in other words, proof of Oblivion purchase), they should be fine to reuse voice assets. But nobody really wants to go to court with Zenimax for something so stupid, so they just avoid the issue entirely with new voice acting.

It's pretty interesting how Fallout 76 and Starfield are the only reason Skyblivion and Skywind are still alive. The lack of a TES VI is a blessing for them. But that game will likely be out within 5 years, so the clock is ticking.

They can release it with a bang, or with a whimper. I mean, who will care about Skywind when a mod to play Skyrim in TES VI has already been started?

 

[soulburner]

This trailer looked pretty good. Patiently awaiting release

 

[Makabb]

jesus so much work and effort put into this

 

[ironmask]

They really improved the landscaping. Doesn't matter though, you can make the game look as pretty as you want but it will never fix Oblivion's shit writing.

Voice actor unions don't allow for that, even if Bethesda allowed, there is a class based agreement prohibiting the re-use of voice on other projects without compensation.

 

[GentlemanCthulhu]

Everybody's shitting on Skyoblivion, meanwhile i'm patiently waiting to expand my 'Sexlab Milk Mod'-financed, sexslave-built, real-estate empire to Cyrodil.

Also, why the fuck would anyone want to reuse OB VOs?
Or anything else for that matter.

About the only salvageable part of the base game was the soundtrack. Not great, but ok.

I wouldn't mind someone remaking the game in Skyrim's or even Oblibian's own engine (with extensively modded assets, mechanics and renderer settings) - except in an inclined manner.
