Summary

  • A player in Oblivion Remastered amassed a 2 billion bounty without killing.
  • The player spent over 55,000 in-game years in prison, with the calendar glitching at the year -9,818.

An Oblivion Remastered player online has managed to rack up an enormous 2 billion bounty in the RPG, leaving other players shocked at their impressive crime spree. It was also revealed how long the player spent in prison in Oblivion Remastered after being caught with such a bounty.

In Bethesda titles, many players choose to make their own fun, rather than sticking to the boundaries that Bethesda presents in the game. The fact that the sandbox is versatile enough for players to do this is a testament to the attention to detail Bethesda has included in the game. For example, one Oblivion Remastered player spent hours making book dominoes, which is something that many other similar RPGs simply wouldn't allow for. It's this kind of thing that gives Bethesda games their longevity.

Redditor Scribe_Of_Satire shared their Oblivion Remastered save file stats with other users, showcasing an enormous 2 billion gold bounty. According to the stats, this was accrued by stealing over 1 million items from NPCs, racking it up without killing a single character. Some users in the thread were surprised that the game even had 1 million items to steal, and it's not clear how long it took to pass the 2 billion bounty mark.

Oblivion Remastered Player Spends 55,000 Years in Prison After 2 Billion Bounty

After going to prison in Oblivion Remastered with the bounty active, a look at the year on the in-game calendar is fascinating. For some reason, it claims the year is -9,818, with the game not quite knowing how to deal with the sheer number of years that had passed. One user figured out that the player spent over 55,000 years in prison for their crimes, which is frankly hilarious. Some were ultimately disappointed that Scribe_Of_Satire didn't share the skill loss that had occurred after their prison spell, but it's certain to be enormous.

As Oblivion Remastered has already proven to be a hit, attention now turns to its post-launch support from Bethesda and Virtuos. It's not clear how long the game will be updated for, but hopefully, both studios will continue to be involved for some time to come. While new content is unlikely given the nature of the remaster already being a finished product, it will be interesting to see what bug fixes come through for Oblivion Remastered​​​​​​.
