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.
I’ve never played so I’m not doubting you. And a bunch of black people in Cyrodill would have me scratching my head. I’m so tired of race and gender swapping. If I was in charge of a studio I’d make a rule that they must cast characters that look as described in source material.
At this point it’d be an easy way to drum up positive marketing. “We’re making all races and genders the same as the source material.” 10m sold opening day.
They’d have my support immediately
