Now I’m lost, in Oblivion!
Want a crazy little piece of trivia? Destructoid launched four days beforeOblivionin 2006. Yes, both this site and the game are over 10 years old, which is an incredible feat. Both are still being talked about all these years later and both can now be accessed on an Xbox One (well, Destructoid was always able to, but you get the idea).
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivionheadlines a decent list of new backward compatible titles, withTrine 2also being a standout.Medal of Honor: AirborneandAstropopare also on the list, though I doubt most people are going to care about those two. Nonetheless, the effort is appreciated.

I have a lot of fond memories fromOblivion. Despite a rocky release that saw my PC being unable to launch the game, I eventually got into a lot of mods and decked out my character with all manner of cool armor and weapons. I also tweaked the interface to be more PC friendly, so that went a long way into making the game feel nicer.
Maybe that is why I never got on withSkyrim. I mean, the story was total trash inSkyrim, but the launch state of the game was pretty horrid. Not being able to exit a menu by pressing escape made no sense at all. How is a basic PC feature absent from a game? I might have to dig into some different mods, though, and give the game another chance.
