Oblivion Remastered Seeks Player Feedback for Enhancements

Bethesda has set up a special channel on their official Discord to gather feedback from players about The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. They’re eager to hear what fans think and are looking for ways to enhance the gaming experience.

Oblivion Remastered, built with Unreal Engine 5, brings the beloved 2006 game into the modern age. It boasts stunning new graphics with ray tracing, revamped textures, and a smoother combat system. Players will also notice improved NPC AI, re-recorded ambient sounds, and handy quality-of-life improvements. This version includes all the original post-launch DLCs and major story expansions like Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles. For those seeking extra adventures, the Premium Edition offers two new questlines with additional weapons and armor. While reviews have been generally positive, some players miss certain features like the original item-menu subcategories that helped with inventory management.

Bethesda is keen to make further enhancements and has encouraged players to share their suggestions, whether it’s tweaks to the HUD, quest improvements, or entirely new features. Some popular requests include dynamic difficulty scaling between Adept and Expert, more character customization options, displaying item weights during looting, a keyring for managing keys, and a photo mode to capture the beauty of Cyrodiil.

Many in the community have voiced a desire for official mod support, especially on consoles, similar to what Bethesda did with Starfield. However, Bethesda has announced that they won’t be providing official mod support for Oblivion Remastered, which has left some fans disappointed. Despite this, PC players haven’t been deterred and have already created over 200 mods. These range from better inventory tools to a handy horse whistle for finding your steed in the wilderness.

While official mod support isn’t on the cards, the vibrant community has taken matters into their own hands by crafting mods to improve the game. Whether Bethesda will implement some of these fan ideas remains to be seen, but the dedicated Discord channel provides hope for ongoing support and enhancements to their time in Cyrodiil.
