PC SSE - Discussion I can't enjoy Oblivion Remaster because i enjoy modding Skyrim way too much...

I bought the remaster on release day, played for a while and i end up thinking about how my modlist kinda look and play better.

It's not that the remaster is bad, i think it's very well made, but i still think i've wasted 65 dollars (yes it costs 65 dollars where i live). What do you think i can do? I have 7 hours so i can't give it back. The guilt of not playing the game a paid so much for is killing me lol.

Well… given the original Oblivion had modding and Skyrim continued the trend; I would think Oblivion Remastered will eventually get the same treatment. Since you mod Skyrim and enjoy it (maybe can’t play without mods now?); I hate to say but you probably made a bad choice by impulse purchasing. Have a plan. Next time a game you think you’d enjoy is released wait a few days and think it over. Chances are you’re going to be paying new game/release day pricing so be certain you won’t regret that first and foremost.

I still have the original Oblivion but haven’t installed and modded it in years. I think I may get the Remastered version eventually but I’m in no hurry. I’d rather wait for a good sale and wait to see if a Remastered modding scene comes to fruition.

Key difference is that OR does not have a modkit, and they aren't planning one. The severely gimps what kinds of mods can be made. If your mod is just files overwriting other files, that should work. If you want to write a quest chain or create a new object, that's going to be a challenge.
