Why is that? It's being done by a different studio entirely that specializes in ports and remasters.

Avowed was a recent unreal open world game that didn't have many issues but I still had at least one point in my playthrough where every object was ghost trailing and map textures were stretched across the sky. Thats from obsidian busting their asses and it was great outside of the one major glitch.

With oblivion being what it is in its original form and then being handed to some outside studio to port to unreal it just sounds like a nightmare scenario. Maybe they're unreal specialists idk but they can't be better than Bethesda themselves. I'll be holding my breath until we get confirmation but I'll have to see what people think once it's out before I'm gonna risk spending money on this. OG oblivion is free on gamepass and I can stream it to my phone lol

If it does end up being great, fantastic! Im just not trusting Todd Howard to do the right thing anymore lmao
