Oh sick I didn't know it had the Shivering Isles. It used to be my favorite, I think out of TES it's my favorite environment setting so far.

Looks like we are playing genesis order!

You can either run the installer on a windows partition/computer and copy over the entire installed game folder, or if you'd rather not involve windows at all then you can just add the installer as a non steam shortcut through steam or add it to lutris and run it, and then once its installed, change the shortcut to point at the newly installed exe instead of the installer. Super easy.

I never played Oblivion, only Skyrim, which I loved. Is it worth buying the remastered edition, or is it gonna be so similar to Skyrim that it's not worth the money?

Worse isn't really the appropriate word. It's more dated mechanically than Skyrim, but it also has some interesting game mechanics to that ended up cut from Skyrim, like spellcrafting. In terms of story, it's got one of the most interesting DLCs the series has had to date, Shivering Isles, and a lot of other decent questlines in the base game and other DLC areas. Worst parts of the remaster are probably just poor optimization for UE5, so it can often run like crap on PC, and of course, all the existing design issues and bugs that Oblivion already had from its original iteration, because the original engine and game logic is still all there and what was principally changed was the UI, the graphics renderer, and some quality of life stuff here and there.

My bias might be at play. Oblivion broke a lot of what was good about Morrowind but also made some improvements. Skyrim improved on what was better and fixed most of what was broken (spellcrafting being a notable exception). Oblivion does have some great storylines, sure, but even there it's no better than Skyrim and often worse.

I get that for those whose first TES game was Oblivion it was amazing. But for those of us who'd played Daggerfall and Morrowind it was a let-down, a big dip between Morrowind and Skyrim.
