I never played Oblivion, I'm early into the remake and having a blast, it feels new and exciting and still nostalgic. I don't game that much these days but I'm really into it, so Im not going to let the modern bs ruin it for me, I bit my tongue about the body type bs.
But I have to say the multitude of black NPCs is immersion breaking. I don't remember it in Skyrim so I asked chatgpt and it said they added them in for diversity bs. One or two black NPCs in the world is fine and doesn't ruin the lore/logic, but when you have tons of them it does. It makes zero sense and immediately pulls me out of the world I was just being immersed in and reminds me it's 2025 and everything is infected by this shit.
I'm going to just enjoy the game but I'm tired of blacks being inserted into fucking everything. its never Asians or Indians or something else either, the obsession with blacks in the media is insane.
Did you read what I said? Yes you can have one or two, that's what happened in Skyrim and its not immersion breaking or illogical. I haven't even played that long and I've come across multiple black families, black soldiers etc. It's got the diversity of a modern day American city, not a fantasy game.
Skyrim is a whole different beast from Oblivion. The empire is rather inclusive of its provinces, meaning everyone is free to come and go. That means a lot of diversity (and we can see in Skyrim where that got them).
The provinces however, are all racist as fuck. Skyrim, Valenwood, Morrowind, Black Marsh, Summerset, all of them. The two noteworthy being Morrowind and Skyrim as they both have modern(-ish) titles so it's easier to see. Morrowind will never ever get a remaster (demaster?) just because of all the slavery that Dunmer are totally fine with.
