TES 4 Oblivion remaster vs. Skyrim — comparison of graphics, physics, and Bethesda game mechanics

Following the release of The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered, some are also recalling Skyrim, wishing to see a similar update for it as well.

The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered was recently released. Some bloggers, like GameLight and Realistic GameZ, decided to return to TES V Skyrim (2011)  and the Anniversary Edition to see how Bethesda’s updated classic would hold up against them.

The comparison was not limited to graphics alone; various aspects of the game were examined:

  • how spell casting works and whether magic can affect the environment;
  • shooting a bow at wood (arrows stuck in both cases) and stone (in Oblivion, the arrow managed to “lodge” into it);
  • water and in-game object physics;
  • gameplay mechanics such as pickpocketing, lockpicking, and carrying bodies.

Judging by the comments, some players now want to get a Skyrim remaster.
