It’s no mystery that Bethesda’s goal is to port\u00a0Skyrim\u00a0<\/em>to every console possible, including the Nintendo Switch and VR technology, though this may not be the case for future games and the PS5 following the Bethesda acquisition by Microsoft<\/a>. It’s become both a pop culture classic and a global phenomenon, meaning that bringing it to the next generation of consoles would be another easy money-grab for Bethesda, and now Microsoft as well.<\/p>\n

But what about\u00a0The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion<\/em><\/strong>? It received just as good of scores as its successor, being critically noted for its expansive open-world gameplay, creativity, and impressive graphics for its time. To this day,\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>is noted as being one of the best action-adventure RPGs of all time, with many Bethesda fans claiming it is a better game than\u00a0<\/a>Skyrim<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>because of its story and quest elements.<\/p>\n

But strangely, it hasn’t received a port to future consoles or a remaster the way that\u00a0Skyrim\u00a0<\/em>or even\u00a0Morrowind <\/em>has\u00a0with\u00a0the\u00a0Elder Scrolls Online<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>expansion pass that allowed players to return to the familiar province. But if Bethesda were to put the time and money into an\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>remake by making improvements to gameplay mechanics while keeping with the iconic tone, it could end up being as successful as the original.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

While\u00a0Skyrim\u00a0<\/em>naturally improved any many mechanics<\/a> seen in its predecessor, some great ones found in\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>were left out. For example, Spellmaking was one of the most loved, unique features that the fourth main series installment had to offer. It was among the most powerful perks available to the player, allowing them to create custom spells after joining the Mages Guild. It essentially allowed the player complete freedom to ridiculously damaging spells or low-costing supportive spells, really anything the player could think of. Spells were also watered down in the fifth installment, and some fun ones had been done away with, such as levitation.<\/p>\n

Many consider\u00a0Skyrim\u00a0<\/em>to be a\u00a0shepherd in the open-world genre, setting the standard for variety in side quests and the amount of content available for the player to get lost in. But rather, it was\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>that\u00a0made the big turn in the\u00a0Elder Scrolls\u00a0<\/em>series and did it more successfully than\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>. While\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>‘s questlines were linear and followed a simple path,\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>‘s quests took the player down a windy road of twists and turns. The Dark Brotherhood is a great example that many fans who’ve played both games often compare; while\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>‘s is still fun and leads to a somewhat sad ending, overall it feels lacking in comparison.\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>‘s Dark Brotherhood quests, on the other hand, bring the player into a dark murder mystery campaign.<\/p>\n

On another note in regards to variety,\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>holds the upper hand<\/a> in landscape variety as well.\u00a0Skyrim\u00a0<\/em>is mostly a snowy tundra, and most of its lands are designed as such. Some areas of the map are warmer and are covered in grassy plains and turning leaves instead, but many of its towns look identical to one another. Aside from bigger cities with their own personalities, like Riften and Solitude, the smaller settlements have little variety so finding new ones can often be uninteresting.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0at the center of Tamriel, Cyrodiil has much more variety to offer. From the Black Marsh to snowscapes of Skyrim, they’re all found in bits and pieces in\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>. And Cyrodiil’s cities are simply larger, with many more citizens weaving through them. Though\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>‘s tundra is nostalgic for many gamers<\/a>, seeing the immersion of unique landscapes of Cyrodiil once again in modern-day graphics would be refreshing to explore.<\/p>\n

If Bethesda were to move forward with an\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>remake, it wouldn’t hold up against modern gaming and criticism with a simple remaster. It would need to be a full remake, such as recently seen with\u00a0<\/a>Final Fantasy 7<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>with both completely reformed graphics and updated gameplay mechanics while keeping with the original tone fans came to love.<\/p>\n

In addition to generally improved combat thanks to the classic dual-wielding feature,\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>could also take after\u00a0Skryim<\/em>‘s extensive skill trees and leveling<\/a> options. The option to pay gold to level up to a certain point made level some little-used classes much easier. The player also has complete freedom in choosing where skill points go, offering full customization towards characters, even if many players end up making a sneaky archer time and time again. The 18 specialized skills in\u00a0Skyrim\u00a0<\/em>that each offer several perks was a great improvement on\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>‘s 8 attributes that only offer new abilities few and far between. It’s simple, yet elegantly done.<\/p>\n

The fourth installment also saw a groundbreaking 200 hours of gameplay, which was a big deal for its time. Other Bethesda games would continue this trend, which means an\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>remake shouldn’t settle for being the same. It’s a great opportunity to add even more content that dives into the lore fans have since learned in\u00a0<\/a>Skyrim<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Elder Scrolls Online<\/em> while bringing them back to the province of Cyrodiil. Additionally, it would be great to see the many DLC packs such as\u00a0Knights of the Nine\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Shivering Isles<\/em>\u00a0included in a remake.<\/p>\n

Though Skyrim\u00a0<\/em>performed better in terms of gameplay mechanics, many argue that\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>is overall a more interesting game because of its better-written storylines and intriguing factions<\/a>. But this means that should Bethesda move forward and combine\u00a0Oblivion<\/em>‘s amazing story and narrative with\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>‘s enhanced mechanics, a future game would likely be a huge hit, even it means starting nearly from scratch.<\/p>\n

But for now, fans may have to settle with mods that bring\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>back to life via the fifth installment and mods, such as\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>Remastered\u00a0<\/em>from modder Levi, or the upcoming\u00a0Skyblivion\u00a0<\/em>mod<\/a> that will run the complete fourth game on\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>‘s engine. But it would be simply stunning to see Bethesda revisit the old masterpiece.<\/p>\n

An\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>remake is not in development.<\/p>\n
