In just 24 hours since its release, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is being appreciated by gamers for its nostalgic gameplay – complete with any existing bugs.
Every dedicated Bethesda enthusiast is aware that the studio’s games are often served with a heaping portion of technical imperfections, colloquially known as “jank.” Oblivion, initially released in 2006, was one of the main offenders. It had objects flying around erratically, characters delivering humorous but incongruous comments at unexpected moments, and events happening in the background that, given the foreground action, were ripe for becoming internet memes.
Two decades on, I can’t help but feel nostalgic as Bethesda brings back their remastered version (they stress it’s not a remake), and boy, does it capture the original’s charm, as Todd Howard puts it. Far from being a problem, this is actually a delight, bringing back fond memories while still offering something fresh and exciting.
Players of the remastered version are commenting that “Oblivion is back” when they see glitches or moments where the game behaves like classic Bethesda titles, with unexpected NPC appearances taking center stage.
Glad to see nothings changed

Even glitches players exploited in the original Oblivion have been found to work in the remaster.
The permanent bound weapons and armour glitch still works in Oblivion Remastered LMAO

Players are creating memes based on Oblivion, aiming to rekindle the laughter sparked by the peculiar behavior of the game’s NPCs, just as they were back then.
Original for comparison

In other words, even though Oblivion Remastered has some rough edges, they don’t significantly diminish players’ enjoyment of the game. For many, these imperfections provide a sense of nostalgia. It’s hard to imagine what the game would be like without these flaws; it might feel devoid of soul and not at all like the classic version that fans cherish. Maybe it’s better to prioritize polishing for The Elder Scrolls VI instead.
One facet contributing to Oblivion Remastered’s triumph is the amusement derived from its bugs, technical hiccups, and memes. Players have been inventive with the character creator, producing both humorous and terrifying visages. Interestingly, a variety of mods are already accessible, even though Oblivion Remastered does not officially endorse them.
It appears that Oblivion Remastered is indeed proving to be popular. On its launch day, it reached a remarkable peak concurrent player count of more than 180,000 on Steam, and this number is expected to grow as the game continues into its first weekend on sale.
This guide provides a detailed overview of all the features in Oblivion Remastered, such as a large Interactive Map, step-by-step instructions for the Main Questline and every Guild Quest, tips on creating an optimal character, suggestions for initial activities, and much more.
