For many 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elder Scrolls fans, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim would have been their first exposure to the franchise, and with the release of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Rem🍌astered, they're now getting their second taste of what Bethesda has cooked up. Naturally, this has led to comparisons being drawn between the two titles and debates ragꦓing.
Almost Half Of Oblivion Remastered Players Haven't Closed A Single Oblivion Gate
To be honest, I don't blame you.
So far, Oblivion fans have found they prefer the remaster's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:magic system and leveling features, said 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:they don't miss smithing, but they 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:do prefer Skyrim's lockpicking. The discussions have gotten so brutal at points, that Oblivion fans have called on the community✱ to stop dunking on Skyrim. That hasn't stopped them, though.
Over the past few h♍o🗹urs, a new debate has kicked up, with players convinced that "Oblivion's cities feel so much more real than in Skyrim."
Oblivion Remastered Players Feel That The Game's Cities Are Far Better Than Skyrim's
This , started on the Oblivion subreddit by Saltypeppermint101,📖 quickly gained over 350 comments. Many players were clearly keen to share their t🃏wo cents on whether Skyrim's cities really are worse than Oblivion's, and the majority felt they were.
"The cities of Cyrodiil aren't even particularly larger, excluding the Imperial City, of course," said SaltyPeppermint. "But even the more bland ones, like Chorrol, feel like places you could actually live in. Meanwhile, the most friendly city in Skyrim🐼, Whiterun, somehow pales in comparison. Maybe it's recency bias with the Remaster, but despite Skyrim's attempt at Game of Thrones-style grimdark realism,🍸 Cyrodiil just feels more like a place where people live their lives." This was a sentiment others concurred with, and there were multiple reasons why.
BlueJayWC the reason for this was that Oblivion has a lot more NPCs in its cities than Skyr♍im, as each city was set to have an arena. Here, the NPCs were set to take the roles of fans, 🅰combatants, or gatekeepers. StankGangsta2 , "In Oblivion, the NPCs will live out their day. Skyrim has daytime walking and standing spots and bedtime. I think the rumor talk and asking about the city also goes a long way."

Ano🍷ther reason fans cited for Oblivion's more realistic cities was the structural layout. BilboniusBagginius , "Taller buildings and walls obscure sightlines, so even if the city isn't act♕ually that big, it almost always looks like you're in a city," with Mercurycutie , "Having multiple inns within each city makes them feel much more realistic to me."
Uncle480 added one final argument in Oblivion's favour, , "I think one important distinction too is that Oblivion's cities are meant to be all unified under one sin🌠gle emperor. ༒All of the counts/countesses report to him, and the Imperial Legion has influence all across Cyrodil. Your bounty from one city's crime carries over to the next."
Of the 350+ com𝐆ments in🏅 the thread, hardly any come to Skyrim's defense. Sure, it's in an Oblivion-centric subreddit, but I think it's safe to chalk this up as an Elder Scrolls IV win.
