Oblivion in UE5 sounds like a dream, but let’s be real—half of us will still spend hours modding it anyway. Can’t wait to see if the guards finally level up their ‘arrow to the knee’ banter. Bethesda shadow-dropping this feels like they’re rewarding our patience after years of Skyrim re-releases. Here’s hoping the sneaking system doesn’t still feel like wearing clown shoes in a library.

Oblivion getting the Unreal Engine 5 treatment is gonna make those potato-faced NPCs look *almost* as good as our nostalgia remembers them. Fingers crossed they keep the janky charm while smoothing out the rough edges Shadow dropping this feels like Bethesda saying, ‘Here, go touch some grass… in Cyrodiil.’ Hope the gameplay tweaks make archery less like throwing wet noodles
