Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster Brings Back Paid Horse Armor

Bethesda has announced the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, a reimagining of the classic RPG that originally debuted in 2006. This remaster continues a controversial trend by including paid DLC for horse armor, just like its predecessor, which sparked significant backlash in the gaming community nearly two decades ago. With two editions launching — a base and a deluxe version — players can purchase both cosmetic upgrades and additional content for an extra fee. Interestingly, the gaming landscape has evolved since the original horse armor incident, making such DLC more accepted by gamers. The remaster allows players to reminisce about past controversies while enjoying new quests, armors, and mods already available on platforms like Nexus Mods. Bethesda's playful nods to its history have left fans both amused and intrigued by the decision to revisit the horse armor saga.

Players can look forward to new quests, unique armors, extra weapon options, and the inclusion of horse armor DLC, as well as access to community mods shortly after launch.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is renowned for its expansive open world and immersive storytelling, helping to redefine RPGs upon its initial release. The game set a high standard for subsequent titles in the series and remains a beloved classic among fans, marked by its rich lore and engaging characters. With the remastered version, both new players and returning fans can experience this iconic world with updated graphics and gameplay enhancements.
