Not surprising. Known commodity with improvements plus people have been waiting for ES6 for ages. Also there aren’t a ton of big open world adventure games being released right now that gives the same kind of experience. People want escapism and games like ES and Baldurs Gate are great for that.

My friend pointed out it's release yesterday as i was unaware.
The long wait time for ES6 and seeing how Starfield is just reskinned Skyrim has me completely given up on Bethesda.
Then i stumbled on a livestream yesterday after finding out Oblivion costs €55 and it looked like a reskinned clunky old bethesda mess...so no thanks.
Enjoy it if you like it, but i'm not interested at that price point.

That’s fair. I bought it because it is the one I played the least and wanted to try and actually beat the story. I’m still in the intro and just picked up my first gear but in that small time frame my assessment is the text is unpolished with grammatical errors, the character creator is still clunky, and their smart animation for dialog needs work. I seriously think this is all just a tech demo for the engineers to get used to the unholy union of unreal and gamebryo so they can use the experience in the work for ES6. I’ll still play this though but I’ll be critical of it the whole way lol

Another thing to bring up for ancient greybeards like me, Oblivion is almost 20 years old. There's an entire generation of gamers who have never played Oblivion and are now getting their first time experience.
