Oblivion's dungeons suck, Skyblivion is making them better: 'That's where the power of a proper remake comes from'

Skyblivion evil character.

If there's one thing I've learnt in my hours with Oblivion Remastered, it's that Oblivion's dungeons kind of suck. They're labyrinthine, exist as one of three types, and when you get to the end of them your grand prize often turns out to be, like, 5 gold and a journeyman retort. And then you have to retrace your steps to get back out.

Bethesda didn't really crack its dungeon formula until Skyrim, where you could at least be relatively sure you had some kind of prize awaiting you at the end of a long session of hackin' and slashin': an enchanted weapon, a new word for a shout, that kind of thing.
