It was true! Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered has shadow-dropped on April 22 and raised the excitement bar for fans. The game was revealed by Bethesda on Tuesday, April 22, at 11 am ET through a live event on YouTube and Twitch. The remastered version has been created with Unreal Engine 5 and features various upgrades and improvements. Apart from this, some gamers are concerned about the difficulty level and tricky parts of the modern gameplay that it offers. Let’s discuss some Oblivion Remastered tips and tricks for first-time players.
6. Start the Dark Brotherhood Early
The Dark Brotherhood is one of the most iconic factions in Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion, and joining it early will offer you various benefits. Start by killing an innocent NPC and sleeping in a bed after that. You’ll be visited in your sleep by Lucien Lachance, a high-ranking speaker in the Brotherhood. He’ll give you a test contract, and you’re in once you complete it. Joining the Dark Brotherhood will give you stealth-based contracts, unique gear, extra rewards, and more.

5. Repair Everything
You can repair weapons and gear with a repair hammer in Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered. Make sure you carry a repair hammer wherever you go and use it when needed. One repair hammer can only be used once, so collect as many as you can. You can also repair stuff and sell it for more cash and boost your Armorer skill.
4. Join All the Guilds
There are various guilds in the game, apart from the Dark Brotherhood, which you can join for certain benefits. They include Fighters, Mages, and Thieves. All of them have strong questlines and gear rewards that you can avail. You just have to speak to the guild master and complete a challenge to prove yourself worthy of joining their guild.
3. Get a Horse for Free
Why buy a horse when you can get one for free? You can acquire a free horse by progressing through the main story. So, after you join the Dark Brotherhood and start completing their questline, you will automatically get a free horse called Shadowmere. She is offered to you as a reward for completing the Dark Brotherhood quest ‘The Purification.’ Shadowmere is a fast and agile horse that will also help you in combat.
2. Invest in Mercantile
Improve your Mercantile skills so you can get more money from selling and better prices on buying. As your skill goes up, you can haggle better with merchants, invest in their shops, and even repair gear for profit. It’s especially useful if you loot a lot or use Alchemy to make potions for sale in Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered.

1. Get New Spells
It’s important to get new and more powerful spells in Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered. You can buy new spells from spell sellers all over Cyrodiil. These sellers are usually found in:
- Mages Guilds in big cities
- Churches called Great Chapels
- Sometimes in magic shops
