  I know it seems kinda ironic. But the way to reach lots of people is to post on YouTube. If you want to reach people and stop them from using google you’re not going to reach them on some obscure platform that no one uses.

  And the people using those obscure platforms have already degoogled so your basically preaching to the choir if you use them.

  Here is my opinion. I absolutely love playing oblivion on my gaming laptop with RTX4080. It looks gorgeous and so do a lot of games.

  That said, I’d rather play on the deck with somewhat less graphics and chill on the couch after a long day of work. I just love the portability. Performance is okay for most games (it even plays oblivion okayish with reasonable graphics). A lot of games are optimized pretty well for it.

  I just see it as an open source switch you can do and play anything you like on. I have tried windows on it too but personally it has no benefit for me so I use steamOS.

  Games I play on it: Oblivion remastered Borderlands 3 Risk of Rain 2 Elden Ring GTA V

  I also stream from my PlayStation 5 to my deck with chiaki4deck.

  Oh sweet, I’m going to try that! Thanks.

  Same here. I’ve been playing it both streaming and locally.

  How do you get the PC to wake from sleep? I have to go upstairs each time I want to play and physically start the PC.

  I usually went Arena first in the OG oblivion, leveled up my character as much as possible (as perfect as possible) and then started doing quests. It was a nice controlled environment to level combat skills in. I was high level but never encountered any major problems at that point. I mean sure… if i only focused on blade (and maxed it to 100) and suddenly started using bow and arrow (which is at 15 or 20) then i’d have a bad time but thats how Morrowind did it too. Arguably even worse in Morrowind lol, god i hated that you could miss swings (but at the time i guess a lot of RPG’s worked that way). But if i went into the world immediately and just started doing quests i was screwed since its almost impossible to level perfectly in an uncontrolled environment.

  What i really like about the remaster is that i can just start doing quests immediately without having to worry about ruining my character. I feel I have much more control of how I want to build my character now, in the original i felt i had to play by a playbook for leveling and when i was high lvl enough i could finally start enjoying the game.

  This is why rock paper shotguns sucks ass and I never take their articles seriously.

  Bethesda DID fix the leveling system in the remasters. The problem was not the level scaling, it was the fact you had to train every single major skill perfectly or else you would miss out on points and become underpowered compared to the enemies which have leveled with you. So if you leveled wrongly you would have anywhere between 5? To 10 points ti spend and if you did correctly you had more… the remaster fixes this by always giving you the max amounts of points to spend each level you gain.

  I can spend an entire paragraph explaining why but this article Probably does it better
