So, I've spent over 2 hours on Steam searching for a nice game to play. But it's all junk, as far as I'm fed with Steam recommendations. I liked ksp~~2~~ 1, cities skylines 1, age of empires 2, baldurs gate 3 a lot, I just finished Divinity original sin 2. I like rpgs and management / factory games like workers and resources, satisfactory etc. I'm having a lot of fun with split fiction when I play with a friend, but I need a proper singplayer game. Anything I could get which isn't a total ripoff due to lack of gameplay or it being a bug simulator or dlc purchase mania?

I mean Oblivion Remastered just came out.

It's weird replaying Oblivion but it looks like a modern game. All the original audio is there (along with a few new voices to break up the monotony of hearing the same handful of voices over and over again), and all the locations and gear, but it all feels different. Like it's very familiar, but it's still very different from what we remember. Leveling is a bit different this time around as you have seven or so points to divide among your attributes, rather than picking a couple that would get increased by random numbers. I'd recommend trying it if nothing else than to try out the new polished version yourself.

Although some of the jank has been removed from this version, like there are no more items duplication glitches, but the Bound Armor/Weapon glitch works.

Yeah but fuck Bethesda these days. I won't give them my money. They screwed me too often with their money grab junk. I'll wait for a cracked version.

I’ll wait for a cracked version.

Piracy is bad! But just so you know there are already people downloading a cracked version of the game illegally today! Can you believe it?!

Being scammed by Bethesda is bad. I buy indie games, I pirate triple A games to see if it's worth my money. Usually it's roughly 3 hours before I remove the junk. Fuck that, they don't deserve my money. Empty shells, unbalanced bs, bug simulators, dlc hoarding, microtransactions. But if it's actually good, I buy the game. I just have no more trust in big developers. Maybe except for Rockstar. Blizzard, Bethesda, Ubisoft, EA, they all suck. When they screw me over again and again, they deserve to be pirated. But even for free their games aren't worth my time. Prove your product is worth it's money and I'll happily pay full price. Like Larian studios. Shut up and take my money.

I was being sarcastic, fuck big publishers and big tech (Bethesda is both now), pirate all their shit, and shit on the game online so other people don't buy it.

Although I'll admit I couldn't wait, and bought the remaster as soon as I saw it. Oblivion is a special game for me, and this remaster definitely does not disappoint.
