Summary
- Bethesda seeks player feedback on improving The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered via a dedicated Discord suggestions channel.
- Oblivion Remastered features better graphics, combat, NPC AI, and the original's post-launch DLC.
- PC players can mod Oblivion Remastered with over 200 community-created mods.
Bethesda has opened a dedicated suggestions channel on its official Discord server, inviting players to submit feedback and improvement ideas for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. By asking the community to share their ideas on how to make The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered better, Bethesda hopes to improve the game.
Oblivion Remastered is a remaster of 2006’s The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5. It brings better graphics with ray tracing and updated textures, a smoother combat system, improved NPC AI, re-recorded ambient sounds, and additional quality-of-life options. Oblivion Remastered comes with the 2006 game's post-launch DLC packs and major story expansions, including Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles. Those who want even more content can get Oblivion Remastered's Premium Edition, with two questlines that grant players additional weapons and armor. While Oblivion Remastered earned mostly positive reviews, some players miss the original’s item-menu subcategories, a quality-of-life feature from the original Oblivion that made inventory management easier.
Oblivion Remastered Players Shouldn't Miss Out on One Trick For Dungeons
Oblivion Remastered is being hailed as the perfect remaster, and it adds a new feature that makes Dungeons much less of a headache.
To further improve The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda is asking players for suggestions. Bethesda set up an #oblivion-suggestions channel on its official Discord server to gather players’ ideas, to share everything from HUD tweaks to quest adjustments or new features suggestions. Some players suggested a more dynamic difficulty scaling option for Oblivion Remastered between Adept and Expert, while others asked for more customization options for their character. Other popular quality-of-life suggestions include showing item weight when looting, bundling keys onto a keyring, and a photo mode to immortalize adventures in Cyrodiil.
Bethesda Is Asking Players For Oblivion Remastered Improvement Ideas
Many players have asked Bethesda to implement official mod support, especially on consoles, like the developer did for Starfield. Bethesda has since confirmed it will not officially support mods for Oblivion Remastered, disappointing some fans who hoped for integrated toolsets to enhance their experience in Cyrodiil. This didn’t stop the PC community from modding the game, with over 200 mods already available for Oblivion Remastered, from better inventory management options to a horse whistle for players to find their companion after venturing too far.
While Bethesda doesn't officially support mods for Oblivion Remastered, the game's community have already started implementing their suggestions to make the game better. PC players can install Oblivion Remastered mods to change various aspects of the game, even without official support from the developers. Whether Bethesda will add some of the players' suggestions to its popular RPG remains to be seen, but this dedicated Discord channel gives players hope that post-game support will further enhance their time in Cyrodiil.
