Worse isn’t really the appropriate word. It’s more dated mechanically than Skyrim, but it also has some interesting game mechanics to that ended up cut from Skyrim, like spellcrafting. In terms of story, it’s got one of the most interesting DLCs the series has had to date, Shivering Isles, and a lot of other decent questlines in the base game and other DLC areas. Worst parts of the remaster are probably just poor optimization for UE5, so it can often run like crap on PC, and of course, all the existing design issues and bugs that Oblivion already had from its original iteration, because the original engine and game logic is still all there and what was principally changed was the UI, the graphics renderer, and some quality of life stuff here and there.
On a random day in either January or February, I just decided I was fed up with windows and microsoft and installed linux Mint. While not problem-free, the experience was rather pleasant. I might make a Windows VM for the few things that I can’t get working on linux, but at the same time, I just kind of don’t want to bother. Now, when I read about windows getting worse, I don’t have to worry about myself, and that’s a huge relief.
