The great circle has finally closed. Way back in 2016 I was given a task: find the ugliest NPC in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Today I'm setting out to do it again in Newblivion, or as it's bafflingly and officially called, Oblivion Remastered.

As Tyler wrote last week, he was a bit apprehensive about Newblivion's incoming facelift. Many of the characters in the 20-year-old RPG are uggo, sure, but in a mostly charming way. No one wanted the citizens of Cyrodiil to all suddenly become hot in the remaster. This is Oblivion, after all, not Inzoi.
