I see your official Oblivion remaster, and raise you Boblivion: a totally lore-friendly overhaul which aims to turn “literally every single thing in the base game to Bob”

Alright, so. It is very a lot trying like as we speak may lastly be the day we get that long-rumoured Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remaster, given Bethesda’s bought a whole stream planned. If nothing else, the entire leaky saga’s been an excellent catalyst for followers doing bizarre stuff with the original.

Enter Boblivion, a modder’s freshly-released try at overhauling the sport in, er, a barely completely different approach to Virtuos Video games. Can it’s weirder than the Oblivion boomer shooter somebody put collectively the opposite week? Nicely, it positively appears to be like simply as trippy.

So, what’s this Boblivion mod do? Nicely, it takes the basic model of Oblivion and goals to vary “actually each single factor within the base recreation to ‘Bob'”. As proven off within the pictures on the mod’s web page, meaning a title display that declares you are firing up The Elder Scrolls IV: Boblivion, and provides you the choices of ‘bob’, ‘bob’, ‘bob’, ‘bob’, ‘bob’, and ‘bob’.

Every little thing from objects to spells, results, places, and menu/UI prompts look to have been re-christened ‘bob’. So, uh, good luck taking part in the sport and navigating round Cyrodiil if every part in regards to the authentic recreation is not completely singed into your mind.

The mod’s creator, who goes by Assman3000 (due to course they do), writes that your chats with NPCs might need been rendered a bit extra fascinating, explaining: “This breaks dialogue although, as a result of all races at the moment are Bob. However you possibly can nonetheless discuss to folks telepathically. Though, all they should say is ‘Bob’.” Good.

Additionally they admit that they’ve not fairly made completely every part Bob but, writing: “Once I work out the right way to change the remaining, I am going to in all probability replace it together with all of the DLC.” Plus, they add, it is essential to notice that “in case you are prompted to interchange the unique Oblivion IV brand video (the animation that performs at first) or some other file, then please again up the unique in a secure location in your laptop first”.

Cool, at all times value being secure when downloading a mod that just about breaks the sport by design. Are you hoping the official Oblivion remaster seems to have re-named each object within the recreation one thing wacky? Tell us under!
