Today is some more oblivion. I don't know what it is but it feels like i went from crashing like maybe once a week, to multiple times a day as time has gone on. Welcome back Fallout New Vegas for the PS3 i guess. I did go ahead and knock out a decent portion of the Mages guild intro though without crashing which is nice. I did about 4 of the recommendation quests before a crash took me out.

The gold road one i spent like ten minutes just walking up and down it because the NPCs just would not show up. I walked past the same guard like 20 times. He must have thought i lost it. Eventually though the lady showed up and i killed her, completing the quest.

During the quest where you save the guy from Zombies, the lady behind the counter's legs were just straight up missing. No clue where they went but i guess she decided she didn't need them.

I don't know if this relates too the slow down and crashes i've been having but i went by the Imperial city to drop off the ring of burden (i decided to keep it as a keepsake) and the trees refused to load for a good few minutes. They eventually loaded in but for a while they were this blocky mess.

While out i also ran into Glarthir. He grew a beard. I don't like it. I normally would do his quest on the spot but i was in the middle of a Mage's Guild quest and wanted to finish it before i crashed, so i held off on doing his quest for now.

I didn't want to deal with Glarthir this time so I just flat out refused and he took the matter into his own hands. This includes a big battle axe, to give you an idea.

Managed to steal a lot of money from him without having to actually do anything for him lol

I'm the same, I couldn't be bothered this time so I told him I wouldn't help. Didnt know he was gonna do that, I feel guilty now. But I like to role play so hey it's just more lore for my character

Bethesda is known for crashes that happen later in the game, due to memory leaking in now progresses save games. If I remember correctly, they had multiple issues with original Oblivion and even Skyrim where the save game would cause loading so much stuff into memory that there was little room left. Crappy memory cleaning then did the rest.

I know Fallout New Vegas and I believe 3 had the same issue. I’d have to assume it’s Gamebryo issue, or just something about the way Bethesda does the save system. I didn’t know Skyrim had this issue. I guess it’s a very faithful remaster, even in the parts I wish got left behind

Thanks for your posts.

Everything I've seen about oblivion remake says "wait for patches"

The new vegas ps3 comparison is rough. That was hilariously bad. Especially when your save was large you'd be 7 minutes for a load screen lmao

Fwiw, I've played through almost the entire remaster and only started having issues towards the end, just a bit of typical Bethesda "let the modders fix it" Software save crashes.

As someone who grew up with New Vegas on PS3 it’s definitely giving me flashbacks lol. I’m at 36 hours playtime and it’s not nearly as bad as I remember NV being but still, it’s a rough issue
