Bethesda calls for suggestions to improve Oblivion Remastered

by

Bethesda is asking gamers for ideas to enhance its highly successful unexpected release, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which debuted a week ago. Like the original, this remake has a fair share of bugs, some of which are intentional holdovers from the past, while others are not. This remaster can be played through Xbox Game Pass on both PC and console, but it’s also available on other platforms. As per Bethesda’s social media update, the game managed to attract four million players by the end of last week. Given its massive popularity, what kind of suggestions are fans coming up with for this game?

Bethesda is taking suggestions for Oblivion Remastered improvements

The term “Bethesda glitch” is frequently used in reference to their numerous well-known game franchises, such as those found in The Elder Scrolls series, Starfield, and Fallout. Interestingly, similar games like this year’s Avowed and Atomfall also exhibit these characteristics. Notably, Oblivion became famous for producing a multitude of popular memes, and remarkably, one voice line blooper somehow managed to make it into the final version. These expansive open-world games are often characterized by awkward character interactions and peculiar glitches that add a unique charm to them.

Most fans seem content with keeping things as they are for now. However, there are more urgent matters needing attention first. Primarily, it’s about making the game less challenging. A quick look at the Oblivion subreddit shows that there are issues. Players often post queries on whether to take up certain quests or not because it can be simple to become either over-leveled or under-leveled, making the game too hard or too easy respectively. This problem was present in the original game and unfortunately persists in the remaster.

Other fantastic ideas from Reddit users encompass:

1. A tag on a world map marking “cleared” dungeons.
2. An option to verify carry weight while looting.
3. A distinct inventory compartment for keys.
4. And arguably the most crucial, the functionality to interact with mudcrabs (i.e., pet them). Kudos to u/TheDorgesh68 for that suggestion! If you’d like to submit ideas, visit the Bethesda Discord server.

The recently released remastered version of “Oblivion,” titled “Oblivion Remastered,” has merely been available for a week. Typically, developers seek feedback at a more gradual pace, but given that this is a remaster of a 2006 game, it’s not entirely surprising to see such swift responses. At the moment, it’s an ideal opportunity to delve into “Oblivion.” Fingers crossed that these suggestions get implemented in the game at some stage. Moreover, any exceptional ideas could potentially influence The Elder Scrolls VI, which Bethesda is covertly developing simultaneously.
