To this end, distinguishing between foggy memories and what is new content is not always easy, especially with the level of overhaul the game has received in the pursuit of modernity. The remaster doesn’t have much of the latter, new content, but there is some, which has been added alongside various changes and improvements to the original.
An example of this is that at the edge of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered map players can now see Skyrim’s tallest mountain, The Throat of the World, off in the distance. And for those that don’t remember, this was not in the original.
For those that don’t know, The Elder Scrolls: IV Oblivion is set in Cyrodiil, which borders Skyrim, the setting of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Hence why you can see The Throat of the World at the edge of the Oblivion Remastered map, assuming you can climb high enough.
Not only can Skyrim’s tallest mountain now be seen from the edge of the Oblivion Remastered map, but much of Skyrim’s terrain is actually modeled in the game, it is just not accessible without dev tools.
Of course, the reason this wasn’t in the original game is no doubt because of the technical limitations of mid 2000s games and game development. A lot has changed since 2006 though.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is available via PC, PS5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. In addition to a $50 purchase, it is available via some tiers of Xbox Game Pass.
