Summary

  • Some dedicated players recreated the Darth Kermit meme in Oblivion Remastered.
  • The game's character creator was recently used to design everyone from Taylor Swift to Nigel Thornberry.

Several dedicated players with a penchant for character design have managed to independently recreate the Darth Kermit meme in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. Their achievements later made the rounds on social media, underlining the impressive versatility of Oblivion Remastered's character creator.

Bethesda games have long been known for offering elaborate character creators, with Oblivion often being touted as the pinnacle of this trend, largely on account of the ridiculous number of granular controls it offers to the player. While working on the recently released remaster, studio Virtuos kept the original character design system, but remade virtually every asset in the process, bringing it in line with modern sensibilities.

Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Player Creates Taylor Swift in the Game

A talented Oblivion Remastered player online shares their awesome recreation of pop star Taylor Swift in the game.

The latest example testifying to the incredible potential of Oblivion Remastered's character customization comes from Reddit users Flannel_Devil and Imaginary_Priority_1, both of whom managed to recreate the Darth Kermit meme—sometimes called "Sith Kermit"—in the game. Flannel_Devil was the first to share their achievement, which emerged on the front page of the r/Oblivion subreddit after amassing nearly 10,000 upvotes in late April 2025. Reacting to their design, Imaginary_Priority_1 then revealed they had the same idea and were just as successful in realizing it.

Both players had the same basic approach to recreating the popular Darth Kermit meme: they started with the Argonian race, tweaked its skin tones to be as close as possible to Kermit the Frog, then donned the Black Hand Robe at the first opportunity. The attire itself is a reward for progressing through the Dark Brotherhood questline, which many Oblivion fans still consider to be among the most memorable parts of the entire game.

Oblivion Remastered Players Are One-Upping One Another With Inventive Character Designs

These achievements are just the latest in a long string of examples of Oblivion Remastered players getting immensely creative with the game's character customization. Since the modernized version of the RPG launched on April 22, its players have already authored in-game recreations of Taylor Swift, Baldur's Gate 3 companions, and Nigel Thornberry, among plenty of other characters. Some inventive fans have even tried designing horrific monsters in Oblivion Remastered, with the game itself being all too happy to oblige.

This ongoing trend serves as compelling evidence for the argument that Oblivion—remastered or not—truly has the most versatile character creator out of all Bethesda games. While the freedom it offers comes with some downsides, like making it super easy to get uncanny-looking characters, the overall package still seems to be incredibly popular. The community's newly reaffirmed affinity for Oblivion's character creator could hence even prove significant enough to influence the character customization options in The Elder Scrolls 6, which Bethesda is currently developing.
