Summary

  • Player observations suggest fireball tower accuracy in Oblivion Remastered may be inconsistent, affecting certain players.
  • Oblivion Remastered emerged as a major hit, attracting over 4 million players just three days post-launch.
  • Players believe certain types of terrain elevations and angles could affect the accuracy of fireball towers.

It was pointed out by a shrewd gamer that in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, the fireball towers don’t seem to be hitting all players with the same precision. Since its release on various platforms, Oblivion Remastered has drawn in numerous gamers and kept them engrossed for countless hours as they delve into the enhanced version of the 2006 game.

Unexpectedly, on April 22, the remastered version of “Oblivion Remastered” was released without any prior warning, sending shockwaves through the gaming community. Leveraging its immediate availability on Xbox Game Pass, this role-playing game attracted over four million players within merely three days following its release. Remarkably, the remastered version’s sales in April alone surpassed the figures attained by the original during its initial 15 months. In addition to other critically acclaimed titles like “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” and “Blue Prince,” it marked a triumphant end to an exceptionally successful month for Game Pass day-one launches. Players have already invested vast amounts of time in the game, uncovering several intriguing elements thus far, with the latest finding being the disparate impact of fireball towers on various players.

In a Reddit post, user MusicallyInhibited pointed out an oddity in the fireballs from the towers in Oblivion Remastered. These fireballs seldom or never seemed to hit the towers, contrary to what’s typically expected. To avoid being hit, MusicallyInhibited made their character walk in a straight line, but the fireballs still missed. Initially, the video showcasing this issue was recorded with Oblivion Remastered mods. However, later tests without these mods produced almost identical results. The only exception in the test without mods was a tower located on a flat area, which might suggest that certain elevations or angles could be affecting the accuracy of the fireball towers, an idea proposed by several users in the comments. Apart from MusicallyInhibited, other players reported similar issues with these towers. Many comments hinted that this issue occurred regardless of the platform being used.

Oblivion Remastered Player Notices Surprising Inaccuracy of Fireball Towers

It appears that more players in the post’s comments mentioned not encountering the problem with fireball towers compared to those who did. This suggests that the issue might be a glitch that specifically impacts certain players when they perform specific actions. Similarly, a game-breaking bug similar to one found in the original game has surfaced in the remastered version of Oblivion.

Fans of the Elder Scrolls series are now eagerly anticipating an unofficial reimagining of Oblivion, known as Skyblivion. This fan-made project has been in development since 2012 and is being built by a team of volunteers using Skyrim’s engine. The release is expected towards the end of 2025.
