Have you played OG Oblivion? Are you okay with it? Then don’t buy the Remaster. It was okay, but it was still basically the original Oblivion in a slightly prettier wrapper.
It’s definitely a psychological issue where these games are designed to slowly bleed their players without them noticing. The most I’ve ever spent on a gacha was $40 over 6 years and I regret that so much. It takes a wakeup call and education to stop people from being suckered in.
I read this comment thinking I was going to the comments on George Santos being prosecuted for his highly visible fraud. I was very confused, then kinda felt it was true.
It’s playable and you can complete most of the content. There are bugs and you have to downgrade pre-NG, but it’s stable and the work they did is incredible.
Think of it as a space tourist game. I like to inspect planets and build unique vacation homes. Main quest? Nah, I’m building an upside-down pyramid on top of a tiny island on a planet almost completely covered in water. Why? Because I want to.
It’s absolutely beautiful. But I haven’t been able to get myself to finish it. I need to pick it up again
