  From what I'm hearing Oblivion remaster is still buggy as hell, as is normal for a Bethesda game.  Supposedly a lot of the old mods/fixes still work for it.
 I'm not buying it, because from what I've seen of the play, all the things I hated about it are still there, with the exception of the faces mostly no longer being in the uncanny valley for me.
 I've read there's mods on the original that make it look better than the remaster too, so no reason to buy it since it seems that's about all that was actually done.

I think some remasters can work if the core gameplay is still solid. So I have the Enhanced Editions of PS:T, and BG:1/2. They are just support higher resolutions, give a bit more polish to the UI and fix some bugs.
Do I think they are worth the current £16 price tag, probably just about as you get a digital version and no having to install various different mods. I got my for £5 each in a Steam sale and that most certainly moved them into value for money for me.
Oblivion, I pretty much have the same issues as you. Yes I'm sure it may look nice but it wasn't the graphics that I had a problem with but instead the overall gameplay experience. Is that worth £50, no.
