DO NOT BUY The Elder Scrolls IV： Oblivion Remastered

Daniel plays the remastered Oblivion on an RTX 4050 gaming laptop, finding it well-optimized but overall basic, unmodern, and disappointing compared to fond childhood memories of the original release.

The remaster's visuals improve upon the original but fall short of modern standards, alongside criticisms involving dull combat, absent blood, unrealistic NPC reactions such as minimal response when striking the Emperor, and reintroduced glitches.

Daniel expresses frustration with lockpicking minigames in role-playing games as annoying and unrealistic, concluding the playthrough with a 3 out of 10 rating, an advisory against purchasing, and an intention to seek a £50 refund due to boredom, weak visuals, and narrative disinterest.

Daniel recounts an unrelated experience of finishing Sons of the Forest with a female companion while staying in Thailand.
