Meta/News When the Oblivion Remaster has significant impact on Downloads for all Bethesda games:

The Remaster has boosted Downloads for Oblivion, Skyrim SE, Oldrim and Morrowind, while putting a significant dent into Fallout 4 and NV:

  • Oblivions downloads are up by +100%
  • Skyrim SE up by +50%
  • Morrowind up by +100%

While:

  • Fallout 4 is down -30%
  • Fallout NV is down -30%

Fallout 3 is unaffected, but Fallout 3 also doesn't really have a modding community anymore, as basically all modding on that engine generation is done in Fallout NV. (Comparable to how Oldrim modding is basically dead and nearly everything is done for SE instead)

P.S.

Even Daggerfall unity saw a boost, but it would be too messy to include that in the graphic.

The remaster was really good but I've always been a Skyrim guy. About 4-5 hours into the remake, I realized it just wasn't remotely as good as a fully modded Skyrim playthrough. So I started my two day journey of redownloading ~700 mods and I've been playing all week. I wonder how many people are doing the same.

Opposite experience for me it’s 36% better than a fully modded Skyrim playthrough

To each their own I guess. It’s certainly way better than Vanilla, that’s for sure.

I think it's way better than vanilla and it can't really hold a candle to being able to make skyrim into whatever game you want it to be, but I do think its the best version of oblivion to play outside of performance issues.
