Have you played OG Oblivion? Are you okay with it? Then don’t buy the Remaster. It was okay, but it was still basically the original Oblivion in a slightly prettier wrapper.
Then as long as you’re fine with the poor performance Oblivion remaster is excellent. It’s Oblivion (almost) as you remember it, the main difference being the ability to sprint (which doesn’t actually change) and fixed attribute points leveling (which I welcome because the original levelling system was stupid where you needed to level minor skills to get +5 bonuses for attributes).
For me it was the other way around. With some very few exceptions I found the Skyrim quest boring and too afraid to do anything fantastic. Oblivion was way better in that regard, but lacking in dungeon diversity and action gameplay.
This also seems to be the general consensus among TES fans. Morrowind has the best roleplaying depth and potential, Oblivion has the best and most varied quests and Skyrim has the best level design and combat.
I haven’t played Oblivion Remastered—what was disappointing about it?

I have played the original when it came out for about a hundred hours, and I really enjoyed it.

The censorship, it’s basically an asset flip, it’s Bethesda, it’s $60 for an over decade old game
Censorship?
What is missing from the original?
I’ve only played the remaster.
It’s just a year shy of being two decades old. Even Skyrim is over a decade old at this point.
It felt empty, clunky, and the quests were boring to me. I loved Skyrim and was expecting a similar experience, but it just wasn’t anywhere close imo.

It being an actual remaster instead of a reimagining of the game is what people like and dislike.
I guess. It probably means I wouldn’t have enjoyed the original Oblivion either. So I can’t blame them much, I’m just not the target audience
