How Does Combat in the Oblivion Remaster Compare to Skyrim?

Combat in the remaster is pretty much the same as before—hit enemies until they’re down. You’ve got normal attacks, power attacks, blocking, and some spell casting, but it’s all pretty simple. Playing on normal difficulty is the way to go; higher difficulties just make combat feel more boring since enemies become tougher without adding any fun mechanics.

Honestly, the combat feels much improved over the original Oblivion. The animations are better and hits feel more satisfying, though the movement is still a bit floaty. Difficulty wise, Adept can be super easy, especially if you’re prepared, whereas Expert throws some serious spongy enemies at you. Just be cautious with leveling because it feels like enemies ramp up in difficulty a lot faster now.

Skyrim still has a more weighty feeling to its combat, but the remaster definitely feels better than the original Oblivion. The remastered combat mechanics are more than enough to enjoy the game!

If you’re not feeling up to combat, crafting a strong destruction spell can make things easy. You can also approach battles in various ways, like using a claymore for hit-and-run tactics or going heavy defense. And if combat isn’t your thing, go for illusions to avoid it altogether!

It’s a beautiful game and the combat is definitely more enjoyable than the original. If you can grab it for a low price, I’d say go for it! You’ll have a good time.
