Return To Cyrodiil.

Okay so I'm gonna open up an old wound.

I wrote an article where I basically concluded that the Oblivion Remaster should have been wake up call for studios and developers in the western RPG genre. I contended that the genre hasn't evolved much since the original release of Oblivion. I received some mixed responses in the comments section but never engaged with anyone back then.

What do you guys think?

The 'Oblivion' remaster has been an irrefutable success for Bethesda. How is it that the bar hasen't risen much since 2009?

I feel that. Western RPGs have kind of been stuck in a loop for years. Oblivion still feels fresher than a lot of recent stuff, which says a lot about how little the genre has really evolved. Your article sounds like it hit a nerve, probably because it calls out something a lot of people quietly notice but don’t want to admit

What about the new Diablo

Okay, this is sorta completely off-topic, and I don't want to derail, but I legitimately scrolled past this and read it as 'Return to Crocodil' and I was like 'DANG, what new esports tech am I unaware of?'
