Oblivion Remastered: Player’s Character Endures Nearly 20-Year Imprisonment

I’m diving into this wild story about The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, and let me tell you, things have gotten downright bizarre. One player apparently managed to spend, wait for it, 19 years in an in-game prison. How does that even happen? I’m still scratching my head. The whole thing went down because of some in-game criminal activities – yes, 19 real-time years. Can you imagine? Anyway, this remastered version just popped up silently on April 22. If you’re on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC, you probably noticed. There’s talk it might sneak its way onto Nintendo Switch 2 as well. Who knows?

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Folks around the gaming world are buzzing over one particular ghostly horse. Yes, a spectral horse – like something straight out of a dream. Players are tearing the game apart trying to find it. Is it hidden somewhere by the developers as a cheeky Easter egg, or just a random glitch? It’s got everyone guessing. People are combing through their virtual landscapes like detectives on a mission – all to uncover if this ghostly steed is legend or anomaly.

And then there’s this Reddit user, Viccytrix, who’s turned into something of a legend themself. They casually mentioned their character did hard time – apparently, for crimes committed in Oblivion Remastered. It got the community buzzing, as you’d expect. Some suggested that the old trick of putting down and picking up a stolen item might’ve counted as multiple thefts. Like, talk about a misunderstanding! Viccytrix blames a decorative spree with some not-so-legit items in their castle. Honestly, I’ve had my own share of digital chaos, but this takes the cake. Imagine sitting on a bounty of 698,040 gold – no easy path out of that, except for some quality jail time. Or maybe not, depending on one’s sense of urgency.

Also, can we talk about this Sneaking thing? Apparently, the mechanics have been tweaked in the remaster. Forget stealth boots magic at level 50; your boots still give you away, just not as loudly. But the kicker? Just go barefoot. Barefoot stealth. It’s all kinds of quirky. Wading through this remastered chaos, the fans still seem to be on board, grappled by the mythical, the mysterious, and the downright peculiar.

And here we are, trying to piece it all together. Or maybe I’m overthinking it? I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of madness in gaming? Anyway—wait, I was going somewhere with this…
