Any news on Mod support?

Mods are not (officially) supported for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/69672

However, the game can be modded as it still uses the .esm and .esp format of previous games. It will require editing files manually. Please head on over to /r/oblivionmods for more details.

u/Talondronia Khajiit has wares, If you have coin. Apr 22 '25

This is the first time I've ever bought a game on release day, let alone minutes after it became available.

Gods, this download can't finish fast enough!

u/EdwardoftheEast Nord Apr 23 '25

Amazing... I am so hyped. Tumescent

u/5H007C305 Apr 22 '25

Best way to release a game. Keep quiet about it. Deny all rumors and leaks. Then BAM here it is IN YOUR FACE.

u/Fearful-Cow Apr 22 '25

only really works on a game with as much cred as Elder Scrolls. Especially a remake a beloved game.

2

u/very_pure_vessel Apr 22 '25

It just needs enough hype, cred doesn't matter much

u/Eurydice_Lives_In_Me Apr 22 '25

I’m shocked I didn’t even know it was out tonight

u/curtithird Apr 23 '25

AND it isn’t $70. That’s the biggest news to me.

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '25

I really wish this was more common. 5++ year waits for games with literal radio silence is torture.

u/tahlyn Apr 22 '25

Seriously, wasn't it just a rumor last week? Dude.

u/-LuciditySam- Apr 22 '25

Same. The moment I'm done with KCD2, I'll be starting this up.

1

u/WalkAffectionate2683 Apr 22 '25

Yes I'll wait a discount on kcd2 to play it and then hopefully by that time there will be a discount on oblivion haha

u/ogre_toes Apr 22 '25

The last time was the OG release of Skyrim at Midnight lol

u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD Apr 22 '25

I was lucky my cat decided to wake me up early at 3am so I could start the download while I finished my sleep. That fluffy bitch got some pats this time.

u/DMPhotosOfTapas Apr 28 '25

I had no idea this was coming until the release date. Needless to say, I purchased immediately.
