Bethesda asks The Elder Scrolls fans to suggest Oblivion Remastered improvements, with difficulty scaling among top ideas

Bethesda has opened up suggestions for improvements to its hugely-popular The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster, and fans have begun weighing in via reddit and Discord with their requests.

Among the top ideas, we’ve seen a few come up repeatedly – and those who’ve played the remaster already may well be able to guess what they are.

First off, is difficulty. “There must be a difficulty level between Adept and Expert!” wrote WheelsOnFire, to the agreement of many others who believe Adept is too straightforward, but Expert is too much of a grind.

“I’m still having moments of actually having to try at level 19 if I’m ganged up on, but for the most part my health barely goes down on Adept,” another fan noted. “Even going out of my way not to over-level constitution. While expert makes even single mobs a slog at times.”

“It’s truly ridiculous,” wrote another fan. “After a while Adept is just too easy so I’ve been playing on Expert and I die eight times every dungeon and go through like 30 potions it’s insane.”

Speaking of dungeons, there are several popular requests regarding those, too.

“[A] cleared tag on cleared dungeons on the world map like in Skyrim!” suggested Kalameet7, to much agreement.

“Yes, also the world map automatically zooming in to your location when you’re in a dungeon instead of having to manually do it from the over land view every single time,” wrote the appropriately-named ITrageGuy. We’ve seen many similar requests from others about this too – and hopefully it’s an easy thing to fix.

Other popular quality of life changes include the ability to see weight when looting, modify your character build later in the game, bundling the game’s many keys onto a keyring, and better animations for the remaster’s newly-added ability to sprint.

Fans have also asked for a couple of other more modern features – a photo mode, and the ability to call your horse. Imagine seeing that gleaming horse armour trotting towards you!

We’ve seen a number of fans ask Bethesda to add proper mod support, especially on consoles, similar to that found in Starfield. Bethesda has already said it will not be officially supporting Oblivion Remastered mods, but that hasn’t stopped fans from quickly getting to work on PC anyway.

But with the huge popularity of Oblivion now, with over four million players – could Bethesda change its mind?

And finally, here’s one that would be fun: “Change it so when you wake up after your first sleep, you wake up in the back of the wagon at the start of Skyrim,” wrote JustSomeGuyThing. You were trying to cross the border, right?
