Not the easiest name to say. Oblivirim?
Skyrimcame out four long years ago now. For four years, we’ve been striding out into the tundra, exploring new cities, fighting in the civil war, all of which conveniently requiring us to go into yet another crypt full of a metric fucktonne of Draugr.
But since then, a few pretty huge revivals of the olderElder Scrollsgames have been in the works. You probably already know aboutSkywind, which aims to portMorrowindto the newer game’s engine, but did you know about its less elegantly named siblingSkyblivion?
Skyblivionplans to bring Cyrodiil and the Shivering Isles fromOblivionintoSkyrim,alongside as many quests fromOblivionas possible. It’s been a long and slow development, but finally we can see it in action again with a pretty damn long gameplay video.
It shows off some areas familiar toOblivionplayers such as the Imperial City and Water’s Edge, as well as some of those good ol’ fashioned Ayelied ruins. But mostly it’s riding a horse through the countryside like some BBC2 Documentary.
From what I can remember from my time withOblivion, this looks like an incredibly faithful remake. Nothing seems out of place to me, even if it’s pretty unpolished and kind of dead looking. It’s being made bya team of volunteers, and is still a work in progress, so it being a bit janky is to be expected.
If you want to see more of the project,take a look at their forums. There’s also this lovelyImgur albumof screenshots from it.
Dang it, I need to go and reinstallOblivionnow. That one’s always been my favouriteElder Scrollsgame.
