Oblivion Remastered’s improvements have Oblivion’s meme king hopeful Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas will see similar glow-ups: ‘[It’s] so much better and exactly what I have wanted for years’

Oblivion Remastered guide - An Argonian surveying the Imperial City.

Oblivion’s renowned meme king, the YouTuber Bacon_, has recently regaled us with tales of rescuing Emperor Uriel Septim, secret agent-style, and why the original’s chaotic Radiant AI system remains the gold standard for Bethesda NPCs. Bacon unsurprisingly has a lot of love for the recent remaster and believes that it makes “lots of good changes while also remaining faithful to the original”.

Bacon is enjoying the addition of new voices, the upscaled visuals, and the ability to sprint—so he doesn’t have to get the zoomies (or 'skoomies') by duping “a lot of Skooma and [binding] it to a hotkey to run around.” Either way, he’s still chugging the stuff. However, it’s the streamlined levelling system that takes the gold medal —which no longer has you at the mercy of level scaling if you didn’t focus on ‘efficiently’ levelling and allows for greater build diversity.
