Bethesda Asked Oblivion Remastered Players How To Improve The Game

by

Summary

  • Bethesda is actively seeking player input to continue improving Oblivion Remastered.
  • Players suggest various small improvements like display item weight and a photro mode.
  • Developers will assess suggestions for updates but won’t implement every request.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but be thrilled about The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered! Working hand-in-hand with Virtuos and Bethesda, the developers have breathed new life into this classic game, not just by upgrading the graphics, but also by refining the leveling system and incorporating a host of user-friendly features. The experience is truly enhanced in countless ways!

It seems that the developers at Bethesda aren’t finished refining the game yet. They’re currently asking players for their input, so they can incorporate desired improvements.

Bethesda Isn’t Done Honing Oblivion Remastered And Players Will Help Shape It

On their official Discord server, Bethesda has launched a discussion titled “Ideas for Oblivion.” Although Bethesda developers and moderators have consistently requested that this space be reserved for ideas, not bug reports (which have their own designated thread), the conversation contains a blend of both. Currently, there are thousands of messages to sort through.

Some of these ideas truly resonate with many players. For instance, there’s a consensus about incorporating features such as displaying an item’s weight during looting, showing when a player completes a dungeon on the game map (similar to Skyrim), and organizing the inventory into categories for better management. A Reddit user even compiled a list of suggestions that are relatively straightforward to execute.

  • Settings toggles to remove UI elements and the glow around interactive objects.
  • Disabling the huge nametag popup for your horse so it doesn’t show up constantly when riding them.
  • Being able to eat food or read a book/note directly from a container without having to look for it in your inventory.
  • A way to get on the roof of the White Gold tower without having to use glitches, just like Emperor Uriel did in the original trailers.
  • More clothing headwear that isn’t just hoods, especially the third era Colovian fur hat.
  • Pet mudcrab.

Many users have requested an additional feature – Photography Mode – as it seems unusual that it wasn’t included among the new features in the Remastered version, considering how common this feature is in modern games.

As a gamer, I often encounter requests for improvements from fellow players. One of the most frequent suggestions I see is making the single button press toggle more intuitive to use, as it can sometimes be confusing or awkward. Additionally, there’s been a call to increase the challenge of the Adept difficulty level. The gap between Adept and Expert is quite substantial, which can be discouraging for some players who are looking for a step up in difficulty beyond Adept.

Keep in mind that Bethesda may not adopt all the suggestions given, as doing so could prevent their developers from getting any downtime. Since every player tends to have an idea for improvement, it’s essential for the developers to evaluate which suggestions are reasonable.

Regardless of their nature, it would be ideal for these enhancements to be implemented as game upgrades at some point. Maybe we’ll receive a schedule outlining the new features that will be integrated over time, although it remains to be seen. After all, hope springs eternal!
