15 Secret Features Oblivion Remastered Never Tells You About 🎮✨
If you thought you knew Oblivion like the back of your hand, think again. Oblivion Remastered pulls a sneaky one with a ton of lowkey changes, hidden tweaks, and secret upgrades. Whether you’re a Cyrodiil veteran or just jumping in for the first time, here are 15 things the game definitely doesn’t spell out for you.
1. Strength? Nah, It's All About Agility Now 🏹
Back in the OG Oblivion, strength ruled melee damage. But in the remaster, daggers and shortswords scale with agility, not strength. And bows? Still agility kings. Welcome to the bow-dagger hybrid meta. It slaps.
2. Fatigue No Longer Wrecks Your Damage 🤸♂️
In classic Oblivion, low stamina meant you hit like a wet noodle. In the remaster? Fatigue doesn’t mess with your damage anymore. Swing away, no naps needed.
3. Endurance = Health Regen ❤️🩹
Instead of chugging endless potions post-fight, now your endurance stat heals you after combat. Fast. Like, blink and you’re back at full HP fast.
4. Skill Perks Unlock Way Earlier 🚀
You used to need to grind skills up to level 50+ for cool perks. Now? Most perks unlock at level 25. You can get dodge moves at the start of the game with just a few jumps under a low ceiling. Yes, really.
5. Dodge Rolls Are Now a Combat Game-Changer 🌀
The dodge move isn’t just a flex — you can now dodge in any direction. It makes fights way more dynamic (and way less "stand there and trade hits" boring).
6. Headshots Matter (Finally) 🏹
In OG Oblivion, hitting an enemy’s face was just ✨a vibe✨. Now? Headshots with bows actually do extra damage. Modern gamer instincts, validated.
7. How to Cancel a Pulled Arrow 🎯
Accidentally charged your bow too soon? Open the item wheel to cancel the shot without wasting the arrow. Lifesaver.
8. You Can Still Get the Best Weapon Early (But It's Risky) ⚔️
The Umbra cheese is still alive:
- Hit Umbra once, then run straight to Imperial City.
- Guards will jump her.
- You loot her powerful sword and armor without breaking a sweat.
Just don’t accidentally smack a guard or it’s game over, bestie.
9. Loot Scaling Is Still Wild ⚡
Unique items scale with your level. Grab a legendary sword at level 3? Trash stats. Wait until level 25? God-tier stats unlocked. Umbra is one of the few you can grab early without too much regret.
10. Don't Mess With Graphics Settings In-Game 🖥️
Messing with settings mid-session can tank your FPS. Always change visuals from the main menu, then restart. Yeah, it’s annoying. But your frames will thank you.
11. Free Horse and Free DLC 🐴🎁
Even if you just own the basic remaster, you can snag a free horse (Old Nag) and some steel horse armor from Chestnut Handy Stables. Talk to Snak. Ride off into the sunset immediately.
12. The Local Map Is Still There 🗺️
People panicked when they couldn’t toggle the local map, but chill:
Zoom all the way in while in a city, and voilà — the local map returns.
13. Deluxe Edition Armor Quests 🛡️
Got the deluxe edition? You’ll have to earn that fancy gear:
- A Wound in Time quest = Order-themed gear.
- Burning Trail quest = Mythic Dawn-themed evil gear.
Both sets are 🔥, and you can get better versions as you level up.
14. Clairvoyance Spell = Your Bestie 🧙♂️
Stuck on one of the new quests? You automatically have the clairvoyance spell now. It literally shows you where to go. Bethesda finally decided to be nice.
15. Difficulty Scaling Is... Broken 😬
Forget the old-school difficulty slider. Now it’s just five settings.
- Novice = laughably easy.
- Expert/Master = goblins will eat you alive.
Damage scaling is insanely dramatic — expert triples enemy damage while slashing yours by 60%. Yikes.
Honestly, Adept is the only normal feeling setting right now.
Oblivion Remastered brings the glow-up we wanted — but it also sneaks in some spicy balance changes and hidden upgrades. Whether you’re dodging goblins, farming Umbra, or just flexing on zombies with your agility build, Cyrodiil has never felt this fresh.
