Oblivion did such a great job with its UI, the choice of fonts was phenomenal, the constant presence of kingthings petrock as subtitles and as the player's journal evoking medieval books, the quest updates framed with floral ornaments that look right out of manuscripts, the little icons tied to specific quests and questlines and the different crests that appear in your log to signify your rank in different factions

#tes #oblivion #litchi.txt #sorry I got hit in the feels with this stuff #Im a sucker for the borders drawn in medieval manuscripts and I really love the use of those during the quests #plus the little illustrations that we get for Everything #quests factions birth sign EVERYTHING #dont get me started on the illustrations that appear Once when you are choosing your class like they didnt have to design all those #for one throwaway moment in the start #but they included it!! because its such an important moment #Im also just a sucker for anything related to fonts that look like schwabacher #I should just set my computer's default font to kingthings petrock at this point its such a nice font #i hope tes6 takes notes and brings this back I think it would look nice #the whole game has a very medieval story vibe and I know this is such a stupid thing to say #but yeah it just feels like looking thru a manuscript or at gothic church frescos #its like the manuscripts came alive #writing this also made me realise that this is something arena and daggerfall did less successfully because of the hardware limitations #and now Im emotional cause oblivion despite all the flaws and things people keep complaining about is SUCH a love letter to the franchise #I could make a whole post on that too. but oblivion is a love letter to arena and daggerfall change my mind
