Makes me wonder how best we should track hardware sales for the future of Xbox. Like just about everyone else we combined Xbox Series X and Series S together. It comes down to what sales data we are able to track. Does NPD/Circana combine the dedicated Xbox console and handheld together or do they keep them separate. 

Just track it like you track steam hardware.

I see what you did there. We would like to track the Steam Deck, but Valve doesn't share sales numbers and none of the trackers report numbers for it.

I will say, they could have updated the inventory management a lot better, I bought every spell from every mage guild and I almost regret it now because looking for a certain spell is tedious, even the regular inventory, omfg give me a key pouch or some shit so I don't have to see them, Lmao. Just move all keys into their own section and then add sub-categories like "Books" and "Misc" and whatever else.

Gaming is seriously overwhelming right now. I'm trying to balance Expedition 33, Oblivion Remake, Towerborne, DOOM: The Dark Ages (Review), plus new updates for Forza Motorsport, Overwatch 2, and Halo Infinite, and it's basically an impossible endeavor lol

Xbox went from 1-2 releases per year to like 8-10 very quickly.

This looks exactly the same as UE without a side by side. Not exactly a big upgrade and $40? Oh well at least the update is free for me.

Its not for you if you played the UE, its for people like myself who did not or people who are on PS system.  Probably get ported to Switch 2 as well since Gears is definitely going multiplat.

And Steam*

But I wouldn't say it's not for someone who played Ultimate Edition, it'll still have some improvements but the biggest will be those who enjoyed Gears multiplayer, a fully multiplatform release which is cross-play will give them something to play until the next Gears, it'll be good for Gears Multiplayer and funnily add a lot of newbies into the multiplayer who will be slaughtered, Lol.

I'm 20 hours in and haven't been to my first yet. I've only been to chorral and skingrad lol.

Have you progressed enough in the story for them to even appear yet? Haha.

Honestly a few of them I closed just because they ruined the scenery, these dudes slapped me with a castle for free, I'm not complaining, but then a fucking Oblivion Gate was just sitting there in the distance! Had to close it

Closed a few near cities. I've done 10 and I'm already considering creating a few magic spells to fortify my speed and acrobatics so I can just run and jump my way through oblivion and close them in minutes, Lmao. I can't do this another 50 times. 😂

Also a tip, Oblivion Gates Sigil Stones offer really good enchantments but they level scale and the best Sigil Stones are given at level 17 so if you want some high level enchantments for armour it's best to save Oblivion Gates for when you're level 17+ anyway, although, that means the main story will be swarming with high level Daedra and it's a nightmare to keep people alive if you care about that, Lol.

I'm already past level 17, I'm slowly making my way to Kvatch clearing dungeons on the way so not seen any Oblivion gates yet as that's where you're meant to see your first one AFAIK.
