50 bucks for vanilla Oblivion with a shiny coat of paint? Why do that when I can apply the paint myself and use Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul and a shitload of gameplay mods?

the price and the filesize are obviously ridiculous but i pirated it and have been having a blast ngl. the original passed me by, was the tiniest bit before my time so i have no nostalgia for it and don't think i could really get past how it looks. despite the absurdity, the remaster is an ideal way for me personally to get to enjoy the game. sure the art style is cookie cutter and safe, it's not exactly inspiring, but it looks good. i don't think i could tolerate the bloom and smoothness and oversaturation of the original. might be heresy but without the nostalgia it doesn't hold up very well.
