The grabbing system works pretty differently now since they changed it to match how skyrim handles things. Instead of having a separate button youll need to hold the interact key while looking at stuff you want to move around, which feels more natural once you get used to it. Something interesting to note is that objects now pass right through npcs when youre carrying them so if youre thinking about doing the old bucket-on-head trick, that won't work anymore. The physics feel a bit heavier and more realistic, and its actually harder to accidentally steal things now since the controls are more deliberate which is nice if youve ever gotten a bounty for grabbing the wrong item.

Good to know that even with these changes you can still interact with most objects in the environment, though you might notice some of the original engine quirks are still there just working a bit differently now.

is weakness stacking still in the game?

so in the original oblivion there is this stacking weakness to magic which really buffs up your magic damage and ik this is one of the best strategies when dealing with bosses and tanky enemies. idk if it exists or not but i also heard one discord member yapping about how its broken but its boring at the same time (we both agree cuz i want to go melee mode)
