So the original Oblivion GOTY edition was probably my favorite game of all time. I stated in a review previously why I thought Elder scrolls 4 was better than 5. Going straight into the remake today shortly after the release, I noticed that although the graphic improvements are huge, it isn't all too much different than the original. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I was however hoping for more AI improvements and enhanced dialog between the npc's rather than the mundane mudcrab conversations. The melee is a bit more refined it feels a lot less button mashy than the original and you do actually have to time swings a bit better rather than just click, click, click. They added shield bash mechanic for expert block skill and journeyman acrobat gets dodging. They also added sprinting. The supposed "dark souls like combat" was a lie. Probably not a bad thing though.. Overall as I go along I do notice more and more subtle improvements. I do recommend the game if you're like me and its been years since you went through the questlines of the original game. However, if you found yourself replaying the original in the midst of waiting for this release, you may be a bit disappointed seeing as it isn't too much different.
