Oblivion Remastered Stats Reveal Few Finish Main Quest: Why

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has captivated players, with a surprisingly low percentage completing the main questline since its release on April 22. While only 2.97% of Xbox players and 4.4% of Steam players have finished the main story, many fans are embracing the vast side quests and exploration opportunities the game offers. Players on platforms like Reddit shared their enjoyment of hunting Slaughterfish or closing Oblivion gates, underlining the joy of immersing oneself in the game's rich world rather than rushing through the main narrative. This trend may be partly due to the nostalgia of returning players who may want to relive the original experience without focusing on the main quest, or simply enjoying the enhanced visuals and gameplay of the remaster.

Players are often distracted by the game's engaging side quests and exploration, leading to a lower percentage of those finishing the main questline. The nostalgia of previous players also contributes, as many choose to enjoy the updated visuals and gameplay rather than replaying the story.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion originally released in 2006 and quickly became a classic in the role-playing game genre. Renowned for its open-world exploration and rich storytelling, the remastered edition includes enhanced graphics and quality-of-life improvements, allowing both returning players and newcomers to experience the beloved landscape of Cyrodiil like never before. Players can engage in various guilds, side quests, and character development, making every playthrough unique while embracing the freedom and choices characteristic of Bethesda's RPGs.
