Gamers have been busy sharing the things they've experienced since jumping into the popular RPG, including one player who claims to have found a spectral horse in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. The animal has gained a lot of attention from the community, as nobody can find any evidence of it having existed in the original version of Oblivion. Some people believe that it could be an Easter egg added to the game by the developers, while others feel that it might just be a glitch unique to the remaster. Either way, people are now scouring their own worlds to see if they can find the spectral mount in the hopes of unraveling the mystery and getting some answers.
Oblivion Remastered Has a Major Performance Issue on Consoles
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is having major performance issues on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, hindering players' experiences.
In a recent post on Reddit, Viccytrix revealed that their character spent over 19 years in prison in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered for committing various crimes. They humorously asked fellow players if the Oblivion Crisis was still going on. Gamers were quick to ask how the person managed to stack up such a serious number of penalties, but some people had their own theories. One person pointed out that, in the original game, putting a stolen item down and picking it up again counted as stealing it multiple times. Meanwhile, one person claimed that there could be a glitch that counted something as stolen for every second it was held. Viccytrix did say that they were trying to decorate their castle with a stolen item, which could have been the culprit.
One Oblivion Remastered Player Stacks up Nearly 20 Years of Crimes
When faced with prison time, players have the option to serve their time in prison or pay the requisite amount of gold in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. Unfortunately, Viccytrix had stacked up a bounty of 698,040 gold, which means it was likely easier just to serve their time in prison.
Another player recently shared that the developers have changed the way Sneaking functions in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. Originally, upon reaching level 50 in Sneaking, the weight of one's boots would be negated when trying to stealth around foes. However, in the remaster, the weight of footwear is still an issue, as their influence on stealth is simply reduced. However, players can circumvent the problem by simply going barefoot, even if they're otherwise covered in heavy armor. With a whole world to discover (or rediscover) and plenty of secrets to uncover, many fans seem to be enjoying their time with Bethesda's popular RPG.
