Oblivion Remastered Player Discovers Odd Butterfly Bug
One person playing The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has discovered an unusual bug caused by butterflies in the popular RPG.
In a new post made to the Oblivion subreddit, user sos440 reported that, even after 100 hours of gameplay, they were still stashing their items in a hollowed-out tree stump despite owning multiple houses. The player simply said they were "too lazy" to relocate their things, prompting some in the comments to wonder what would happen if an NPC decided to take a seat on the trunk, and others to raise concerns about the items simply disappearing at some point. This is just one of many entertaining escapades fans have reported in recent weeks, with one Oblivion Remastered player accidently paralyzing themselves for 66 in-game years and another spending hours of real-world time stacking books like dominoes throughout the Imperial City.
Dedicated Oblivion Remastered Fan Still Stashing Items in Hollowed-Out Tree Stump
While the game has seen both critical and commercial success, its release hasn't been entirely smooth sailing. Oblivion Remastered fans are anxious for a patch to fix several major bugs, along with ongoing performance issues severely impacting console players. Others are also requesting some quality-of-life changes and adjustments to the game's UI. Bethesda has confirmed that a patch is on the way, but no date has been announced.
The popularity of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered and, by proxy, Skyrim, has rekindled interest in the next game in the series. Many fans think that The Elder Scrolls 6 could learn a lot from Oblivion Remastered, and while there is no release window for the title just yet, prospective players hope that at least some details will be revealed by the end of 2025.
