The AI-generated speech animations are strangely exaggerated like it’s some kind of lip reading training program. There’s no hair physics. You don’t get a shadow in first-person mode. The persuasion minigame UI looks worse than it used to. Sometimes the NPCs look off to the side while they’re talking to you as if the camera’s in the wrong place. Considering that the main point is to make the old game look nicer, they seem to have neglected a lot of little details.
That was my reaction watching it on Twitch. Playing it in person is way more fun, the nostalgia got me. Still, Skyblivion will probably be better-looking as well as having better mod support.

I’m pretty sure the main point was getting another million or ten sales for relatively little development cost.
