Summary
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredhas seemingly managed to walk the line between a faithful remaster and a complete overhaul,having added things like origin stories for every race, and tweaked the leveling system and combat, but much of the game’s original janky charm has remained. When someone thinks of Oblivion, a lot of the time they think of goofy dialogue, and that aspect has remained intact.
There were fears that iconic linessuch as Wes Johnson’s performance as every Imperial Guard in Cyrodiilmay have been changed,but thankfully, that isn’t the case. In fact, it appears as though Bethesda has remained so faithful to the original Oblivion script that one of the most legendary voice acting slip-ups has made its way to Oblivion Remastered.
Oblivion Remastered Has Kept The Original’s Voice Acting Mistakes
For the dedicated Oblivion fans out there, you probably already know what I’m talking about, but I’ll break it down for the uninitiated. In the original Oblivion, you can find a woman named Tandilwe in The Temple of the One in the Imperial City. Ask her for a bit of gossip, and she’ll tell you a group of thieves has been running amok.
Once the line is finished, you’ll hear the voice actor tell someone that they’re unhappy with their performance of the line, ask them to “let me do that one again”, and then Tandilwe repeats herself. It’s a lovable and charming slip-up that somehow made its way into Oblivion, and Bethesda seems to be happy for it to be a part of Oblivion Remastered as well.
First shared by YouTube user Mao Deeganin the video embedded above, you may see the player talking with Tandilwe, and she’ll repeat the line just like she did in the original, showing that Bethesda did not, in fact, let the voice actor “do that one again”.
