First of all, thank you and your team for the amazing voluntary work you're doing! <3
I've got 2 questions for you :)
Hope I don't come over rude with this one, but with the Oblivion Remastered release, what is still the benefit/point of Skyblivion? :o
From the Skyblivion website's FAQ, I've understood that Skyrim won't be accessible in Skyblivion, could you explain why this is the case? I'm interested in understanding the technicalities behind it :) Since with Skywind also being a thing, it would be awesome imo to have a single game with Skyrim + Skyblivion + Skywind in one, perhaps slowly adding more until all of Tamriel is combined in a single massive game. But if that would not be possible, I'd be interested in knowing why :)
So I wish you’d rephrase the first question better, I know you mean no offense but to say “what is the point” of a project a decade in the making just because of the remake is a bit crude. I somewhat answered this under another comment but to expand a bit further, this is a passion project that has its own unique approach to the project. It isn’t just improving shaders and lighting it’s much much MUCH more than that like creating our own concept art, new 3D models, using the already established lore from the entire franchise to add more depth to this mod.
We love the remake because it’s great but our project was never intended to compete at all with it and I think this sentiment that “well Bethesda did it better, give up now?” has been played out to its fullest.
Let me ask you this: if you were working on a decades long project with hundreds of other members, would you hang it up?
Also with Skyrim not being accessible it’s really down to a variety of issues that we could develop if we had the time but as it stands. We had a lengthy discussion about this because this was one of the main objectives and the one we advertised the project on, that being the idea you can travel to and from oblivion to Skyrim vice versa. There’s difficulties and a lot of crashes that are involved that let’s say, we had maybe a year or two left of development time then we could accomplish it. I do think the devs on the backend will be able to work something out though because there are people who still want this to work out, as do I, but for the time being with our timeframe it just isn’t possible and our focus is working on the game itself.
Thank you for your extensive reply :)
And sorry if question 1 came over a bit rude.
I guess I'd be frustrated with Bethesda if they did that after so many years of pouring in my own time/effort, but I think it's commendable that you guys took the communities feedback from it, and kept on working on your own thing.
Also nice to hear that there is hope for a Skyriel (full Tamriel in Skyrim's engine) in the future! :D
microsoft gaming is BDS, a fan mod isn't.
