Oblivion’s a notoriously buggy recreation, so it in all probability should not have been an excessive amount of of a shock that Oblivion Remastered was additionally fairly rattling buggy. Whereas a number of these bugs are the form of charming nonsense TES 4 is beloved for, Bethesda and Virtuos have now confirmed that the remaster’s acquired two updates incoming to repair its extra severe issues.
Having scrolled by the patch notes for the primary of those updates, which releases in Steam beta right this moment, there’s one repair that is stood out, as a result of the factor it outlines has been haunting my goals.
The primary of those, Replace 1.1, releases by way of Steam beta on June 5 and focuses on “quests, main bugs and blockers, and high quality of life fixes”. It will be obtainable throughout all platforms as of June 11.
The second replace, in the meantime, will purpose to enhance the sport’s efficiency. It would not have a date but, only a “we are going to share extra particulars after we are ready”.
One among Replace 1.1’s quest fixes is designed to cease “Vicente Valtieri dropping his hair” through the Darkish Brotherhood mission A Knife In The Darkish. I bumped into this glitch whereas reviewing the sport, and whereas it wasn’t that a lot of an inconvenience, coming back from a mission to search out the often dapper vampire murderer had gone full Ross Kemp was positively an expertise. Particularly when his hair then miraculously grew again by the subsequent time I visited for a chat.
Among the many patch’s different fascinating fixes are ones for Excessive Chancellor Ocato’s “arms not animating”, Thieves Guild NPCs simply not displaying up in any respect, and Savlian Matius getting caught after the citadel courtyard struggle if you’re re-taking Kvatch. I believe I narrowly averted that final one, as I recall Matius seemingly very reticent to comply with my hero into the citadel, regardless of all his chatter about time being of the essence in saving the rely.
