Stepping back into Oblivion Remastered can feel a bit overwhelming, even for those of us who played the original way back *checks watch* 19 years ago. For those Skyrim fans who stepped into the game expecting something similar, I’m sorry to tell you that Oblivion is a different beast entirely.
Whether it’s trying to overcome the game’s inscrutable persuasion or lockpick minigames, or working out how the hell you became a vampire and what you’re supposed to do about it, Oblivion is a lot less streamlined than Skyrim, but that’s part of its charm. It’s an RPG that rewards you for going with the flow and experimenting a little as you explore Cyrodiil.
If you’re looking for tips as you step back into the RPG, or play it for the first time, I’ve included a selection of our Oblivion guides down below. There’s a section for character creation, notable changes in the remaster, getting started with unfamiliar mechanics, and even some details about starting the game’s beloved DLC. Happy trails in Tamriel!
