The list wasn&#8217;t expansive\u2014CDPR wasn&#8217;t out to create a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wabbajack.org\/gallery\" target=\"_blank\">Wabbajack overhaul<\/a> for its own game\u2014but it incorporated some key tweaks, fixes, and polish that had proven popular in the game&#8217;s community and that CDPR, I have to assume, quite liked itself. Visual fixes from the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/witcher3\/mods\/2117\" target=\"_blank\">Nitpicker&#8217;s Patch<\/a>, new textures from <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/witcher3\/mods\/1021\" target=\"_blank\">The Witcher 3 HD<\/a>, world map fixes from, uh, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/witcher3\/mods\/3430\" target=\"_blank\">World Map Fixes<\/a>\u2014CDPR went ahead and rolled &#8217;em all in, with the authors&#8217; permission.<\/p>\n<p>And, you know, I think if Bethesda and Virtuos had taken a similar approach with OG Oblivion&#8217;s rippling library of mods I wouldn&#8217;t be quite as underwhelmed by Oblivion Remastered&#8217;s first patch. With such a long wait between release and any communication from Bethesda, I admit my imagination ran away with me. I was hoping for tweaks to the game&#8217;s onerous inventory system\u2014maybe categories, or more shortcuts, or sorting by type\u2014as well as the ability to delete unused spells, and a Goldilocks difficulty between Adept (incredibly easy) and Expert (absurdly hard). Hell, I&#8217;d be pretty happy if the game just saw its way to showing me my current encumbrance when I was looting.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3236px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.24%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"NCEgnTaNodkkKVsTxb8SfE\" name=\"Daggerdancer armor mod for Oblivion Remastered\" alt=\"Daggerdancer armor mod for Oblivion Remastered\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/with-oblivion-remastereds-first-patch-looming-i-wish-bethesda-had-taken-a-leaf-from-cdprs-book-and-straight-up-incorporated-popular-mods-at-launch.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"3236\" height=\"1820\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bethesda didn&#8217;t announce any of that. Fair enough. Making games is hard, and making games that are actually a very old game wrapped in a thick UE5 outer layer is probably even harder. But the thing is, all those changes were already made to Oblivion a very long time ago: <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/oblivion\/mods\/10763\" target=\"_blank\">DarNified UI<\/a> and other mods have totally overhauled Oblivion&#8217;s UI for the better, there are mods to <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/oblivion\/mods\/23069\" target=\"_blank\">delete old spells<\/a> and useless inventory items, and more mods to tweak the difficulty and level scaling than it&#8217;s possible to name (though <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/oblivion\/mods\/46199\" target=\"_blank\">Oscuro&#8217;s Oblivion Haul<\/a> was the most famous when I was a lad).<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s such a vast ocean of fan-made stuff for Oblivion that it feels like a waste to leave it all on the shelf while everyone shifts over to the remaster. And while it&#8217;s not just a matter of plugging them in and hitting go\u2014making Oblivion mods play with UE5 is an ongoing effort by the community\u2014I have to imagine it&#8217;d be easier for the devs to seize on and adapt that pre-existing work than to gin up entirely new stuff from scratch.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"sDQFSSv52EmjZfqqzSer38\" name=\"All will be revealed 00-29-49\" alt=\"Oblivion Remastered\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/with-oblivion-remastereds-first-patch-looming-i-wish-bethesda-had-taken-a-leaf-from-cdprs-book-and-straight-up-incorporated-popular-mods-at-launch-1.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Bethesda)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But I&#8217;m getting out over my skis with that supposition, I guess. The thing is, a lot of the problems I have with Oblivion Remastered are problems I had with Oblivion, and they&#8217;ve been solved by dedicated fans in the last near-20 years. Especially with modding seemingly &#8220;unsupported&#8221; in Oblivion Remastered, it would have been at the very least a nice tip of the hat to the folks that kept the game alive all this time.
