A new mod for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is shaking things up by transforming the game into a first-person shooter (FPS). Players can now explore the world of Oblivion while using a Glock pistol instead of the traditional bow to defeat enemies. This mod, created by user CosmicBoogaloo and titled “Glock – Functional Gun in Oblivion Remastered,” allows gamers to experience a novel gameplay dynamic.
A brief gameplay video showcases the excitement, with players running through Oblivion and shooting at anything that appears in their path. Despite Bethesda’s declaration that Oblivion Remastered would not support mods, this has not deterred the creative community. Many players have taken it upon themselves to develop and release various mods nonetheless.
The pistol can either be added as a standalone weapon in a player’s inventory or can replace all Iron Bows in the game. Currently, players need to enable the Oblivion Remastered console to obtain the Glock and its ammo, but updates are planned to introduce an NPC for easier access to these items. Since its release in April, Oblivion Remastered has seen a plethora of mods, including those that introduce new factions, a settlement system reminiscent of Fallout 4, and the ability to leave notes for other players, similar to experiences found in Dark Souls.
Numerous minor tweaks to improve gameplay have emerged, reflecting the active community around the game. While no official mod support has been implemented, the enthusiasm of modders has ensured a rich array of modifications. Given the successful history of modding in the original Oblivion and Skyrim, it seems likely that Oblivion Remastered will continue to evolve.
With time, players may be able to craft a unique experience far removed from the game’s original design through an extensive collection of mods.
