Summary

  • Oblivion Remastered's character creator allows for hilarious and accurate creations like Nigel Thornberry.
  • Players have created unique protagonists showcasing the tools' versatility.

An Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered player online has shared their hilarious and eerily accurate version of Nigel Thornberry in the game's new character creator. This unusual creation is a great example of how powerful Oblivion Remastered's character creator tools really are.

It has only been a few days since the release of Oblivion Remastered, but players have quickly become accustomed to its character creator, creating tons of unique protagonists. There was even one player who managed to create Taylor Swift in Oblivion Remastered, bringing the pop star to the world of Cyrodiil. It's impressive what gamers have managed to create so far, and it's a testament to the tools that players have been able to create everything from realistic humans to utter monsters.

Oblivion Remastered Lets You Walk Out of Cyrodiil, But There's a Catch

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered allows gamers to walk out of Cyrodill, but there's a catch they should know about.

Redditor shizmagician shared a unique creation of their own, after bringing cartoon character Nigel Thornberry to life in Oblivion Remastered's character creator. Considering they're depicting a cartoon character, it's an eerily accurate recreation of Thornberry, with many in the thread requesting sliders from shizmagician so they can use them for themselves. One even said that they were "surprised it took so long to see him here."

This Oblivion Remastered Nigel Thornberry Character is Eerily Accurate

It seems that shizmagician is taking their Nigel Thornberry character into their Oblivion Remastered build, too, describing them as a "weird little guy" while making a custom class to reflect the character. One user had a hilarious suggestion to "get a warhammer and say 'smashing' after you kill someone," which would be the perfect way to round out this funny Nigel Thornberry build.

With Bethesda continuing to develop The Elder Scrolls 6, Oblivion Remastered could be the perfect appetizer before the eventual main course, which still seems to be many years away. There was some suggestion that, with 14 years since Skyrim and seven years since The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced, the series may have missed its moment. However, with Oblivion Remastered reaching four million players in a matter of days, there's no doubt that interest in The Elder Scrolls is as strong as ever.
