Summary

  • Players want a closer fast-travel point to Frostcrag Spire in Oblivion Remastered.
  • The issue could be an easy fix and could be addressed in a future update.
  • Bethesda has been open to player feedback, so there's hope for a quality-of-life change.

Oblivion Remastered players have shared their frustration at one particular issue with a popular location that they’d like to see fixed in a future update. Fortunately, this Oblivion Remastered issue would likely be an easy fix if Bethesda or Virtuos were to change it.

Oblivion Remastered is largely very faithful to the 2006 original. It even keeps the mistakes from the original Oblivion, which makes it feel like a real love letter to its predecessor. These small imperfections were always a big part of what made Oblivion so charming in the first place, and not all of them need to be fixed. That said, Oblivion Remastered still has the chance to make a few small quality-of-life changes to ensure it remains the definitive way to experience Bethesda’s RPG.

Oblivion Remastered is Putting The Elder Scrolls 6 in a Tough Spot

Oblivion Remastered made an important change to the original's formula that's very different from Skyrim, leaving TES 6 stranded between two extremes.

As spotted by TheGamer, a Reddit thread started by user False-Definition15 has sparked some discussion, after they noted that the fast-travel point to Oblivion Remastered’s Frostcrag Spire is pretty far away from the player-owned house. The impressive spire is a popular choice for many Oblivion Remastered players looking for a home, with its various magic features and its stunning views across all of Cyrodiil. Even still, it would be nice if it didn’t take so long to get there, even when fast-travelling.

Oblivion Remastered Players Aren't Happy With Frostcrag Spire's Fast-Travel Point

One player joked that the distance is "for leveling acrobatics, jumping up the mountain everytime," while another user suggested that this was Bethesda's way of nerfing the "OP" player house. It was pointed out by several users that Frostcrag Spire is one of the worst Oblivion Remastered houses in this specific area, with Battlehorn Castle and Priory of the Nine placing players right at the front door. Others lamented the fact that all player-owned houses don't immediately fast travel inside.

While it's unclear whether Bethesda plans to change this particular issue with Frostcrag Spire, it's not totally out of the question. Back when the game launched, Oblivion Remastered was taking player feedback for improvements going forward, and this is absolutely the type of quality-of-life change that could arrive as a result of this. Hopefully, a change to Frostcrag Spire's fast travel location will come in a future Oblivion Remastered update, even if fans shouldn't hold their breath.
