In case the approximately 60,000 Oblivion-related stories we’ve published in the last 24 hours have escaped you, it’s feasting season for Elder Scrolls fans right now. The release of Oblivion Remastered has seen over 120,000 players pour into Cyrodiil at once, and I suspect it might beat that record this coming weekend. But you know…

Restless Ghosts is one of many obscure side quests you’ll pick up while exploring Ashenfall in Runescape: Dragonwilds, specifically, when you visit the Crumbling Well in Bramblemead. When you’re nearby, you’ll be able to interact with the well by pressing E, which lets you retrieve the mysterious Ghostspeak Amulet, and immediately begins the quest. Annoyingly,…

When you think of the Far Cry games, what do you picture? I see beautiful ocean views, lots of guns, frantic battles, and a host of semi-unstable characters acting out a larger-than-life story. That’s how they’ve been almost since the very first one came out in 2004, and for 17 years, Ubisoft has stuck to…

There’s something a bit magical about shareware stalwart Doom and folks’ compulsion to make it run on absolutely everything. Present a sufficiently motivated individual with the game’s open source code, and a less than powerful bit of kit offering maybe the barest whisper of a GUI, and you can be sure they’ll put two and…

Crusader Kings 3, Paradox’s brilliant RPG/grand strategy hybrid, has reached a pretty significant milestone, hitting the four million sales mark a bit over four years after it launched. Now, that’s a pretty hefty number for what you might consider a fairly niche strategy romp. Certainly, Paradox has reason to be pleased. And I don’t want…

Intel is planning to slash 20% of its workforce, or fully one in five employees. According to Bloomberg, Intel will announce the move later this week when it details its latest financial figures on Thursday. Reportedly, the staff cuts will be pitched as part of a broader strategy to focus on engineering while streamlining operations…

Modern Bethesda likes to take its time. Starfield was in active development for eight years before it was able to disappoint cosmic explorers. The Elder Scrolls 6, meanwhile, was announced way back in 2018, didn’t enter active development until 2023, and won’t launch until 2026 at the earliest—and let’s face it, it’s gonna be a…

Working out how to sell stolen items in Oblivion is one of your first steps as an enterprising thief or regular old RPG player. Honestly, even when I’m playing a good character I still steal like an absolute menace, and I’m certain I’m not alone in that. Being a thief in Oblivion is one of…

The quest to join the Thieves Guild in Oblivion is one of the funnest faction introductions in the series, as you follow rumours of the Gray Fox to a mysterious garden, and compete with fellow thieves to steal a diary before the night ends. “Why join the Thieves Guild?” you may well ask, given you…

It only took a few hours for Oblivion Remastered to sail past 120,000 concurrent players on Steam, and even hit an all-time peak of 182,298 earlier today. But despite all the hype and excitement surrounding the remaster, ex-Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra doesn’t seem to think it’s a winner. “I’m sceptical about 20-year-old remasters,” Mike Ybarra,…
