Oblivion Remastered added a spell from Skyrim that’s basically “a magical trail of breadcrumbs” pointing to quests and objectives

by

In its remastered version, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion sticks closely to the original game, even retaining an early voice-acting glitch, but there’s a novel inclusion, borrowed from Skyrim, that echoes another beloved Xbox 360 title – Fable 2.

As a gamer, struggling to find my way on the next quest? Well, let me tell you about this game-changing new magic: Clairvoyance! Think of it as your own personal trail of breadcrumbs. Just cast the spell, follow the glowing path, and voila! You’ll be led straight to the objective. It’s a lifesaver when you’re lost in those tricky dungeons and caves of Cyrodiil.

In the video provided, you’ll notice that the Illusion spell creates a glowing path for guidance. If you’re pursuing another quest in your log, the trail will adjust its route accordingly. However, be aware that it could potentially lead you into a group of dangerous creatures or unwanted encounters with an overzealous fan, so proceed with caution.

Instead of Skyrim, I found the Breadcrumb Trail (Golden Trail) from the Fable games on Xbox 360 to be one of my favorite aspects because it allowed me to appreciate the stunning fantasy landscape without constantly checking a mini map in the screen’s corner. It serves as a useful charm that enables you to savor the scenery and take leisurely walks without getting lost – I hope the Fable remake maintains this feature as well.

In essence, although the Oblivion remaster has updated visuals to resemble a 2025 game, it remains faithful to the 2006 RPG. However, it retains the endearing quirks such as occasional bugs, random crashes, and character creation issues that were characteristic of the original version.
