The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
The remastered version of Bethesda’s seminal title, *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*, introduces enhanced graphics, updated gameplay mechanics, and additional content. However, the developers at Virtuos made sure to retain some of the quirks from the original, including a famously flubbed line.
Fans of *The Elder Scrolls* series are likely familiar with Tandilwe, the High Elf Master Speechcraft trainer located in the Temple of the One in the Imperial City. When *Oblivion* first released on PC and Xbox 360 nearly two decades ago, it was evident that Tandilwe herself could have benefited from some speech training. One of her dialogue lines includes what appears to be an unintended recording of voice actress Linda Kenyon attempting to redo her line.
As players explored the newly revitalized world of Cyrodiil, many were curious to see how true to the original the remaster would be. Despite the significant visual upgrades applied to landscapes, characters, and objects, fans were pleased to discover that many of the original game’s imperfections, which contributed to the charm of *Oblivion* in 2006, were preserved. Among these was Tandilwe’s infamous voiceover mistake, which remains in the game, complete with its original lack of subtitles.
During a 2019 interview with Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr on YouTube, Linda Kenyon addressed the infamous blooper that found its way into the game and gained notoriety online, humorously commenting that it wasn’t her fault.
As thousands of players dive into *Oblivion Remastered*, there is ongoing debate about whether the Bethesda release should be considered more of a remake than a remaster. Nevertheless, many players appreciate the decision by Bethesda and Virtuos to keep much of the game’s original quirks intact. This approach seems to be well-received by both newcomers and long-time fans of the series.
*The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion* had a surprise launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S. For more information, you can explore how the modding community quickly released numerous mods just hours after the remaster’s announcement. Further insights can be found on why one of the original designers believes the remaster feels more like “Oblivion 2.0.”
For those looking to fully immerse themselves in *Oblivion Remastered*, there is a comprehensive guide available. It includes an extensive interactive map, complete walkthroughs for the main questline and all guild quests, tips on building the perfect character, recommendations for initial activities, and much more.
