Having played the old one a lot, I felt like the remake was kind of a flimsy skin on top, I recommend the original over it if you want to really appreciate the atmosphere and art style
Coming from Skyrim as my first Elder Scrolls game (yeah, I know, fight me), I couldn’t get past the clunky UI and didn’t want to go down a modding rabbit hole just to get the 2006 game playable at a decent resolution. The remaster fixes enough of the quirks and adds some quality-of-life elements (read: fast travel) that I love solely on the basis that they piss off purists. Having real support for ultrawide monitors is also a huge plus for the remaster. (Lack of 21:9 support outside of some half-abandoned mods is still a nuisance with Skyrim, and even then, the engine is still locked to the video refresh rate.)
I just wish the remaster didn’t crash so damned much.
FWIW the original release of Oblivion also had fast travel, including markers for every major city immediately after leaving the tutorial.
