    As an Oblivion fan, this seems like a buy for me.

    Well you’re paying €55 for a graphical update.

    That’s extremely overpriced.

      If it was just facelifted and made to run on and detect newer hardware and peripherals, I’d agree, but the remaster offers a lot of new flavor to the tune of voice acting, animations, rebalancing of the leveling mechanics, and fixes to ancient bugs like paintbrushes and quests breaking mid-way. Typically not a fan of remasters, but they usually don’t have this much actual work done. Even some of the world objects have been fixed and moved around like the randomly placed giant rocks no longer serrating the gold road.

        The voice acting alone is worth a lot. Oblivion did not age well in that regard. Not that it was ever great to beginn with…
