Oblivion Remastered: From Dragons to Lightsabers, Because Why Not?
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Someone's added lightsabers to *Oblivion Remastered*, because of course they have, and it's glorious madness. Plus, the modder responsible apparently once accidentally committed mass digital decapitation. Gaming, eh?
Right, so *Oblivion Remastered* (the game that's a shiny new coat of paint on a classic... or is it?) has officially hit peak modding potential. According to Rock Paper Shotgun, someone's already shoved lightsabers into Cyrodiil, and frankly, it's about bloody time.
CosmicBoogaloo, the absolute legend behind this madness, has gifted us with five flavours of glowing stick – red, green, blue, purple, and yellow. Each one comes complete with authentic 'vzzzzhhhh' and 'vwwwummm' sound effects, which is just chef's kiss, innit? Just imagine wandering around Kvatch, slicing up Daedra with a purple lightsaber. The Emperor would be proud. Or terrified. Probably both.
Now, getting these bad boys into your inventory isn't quite as simple as reaching out with the Force. You'll need a few prerequisites: UE4SS, TesSyncMapInjector, Runtime EditorIDs (Console), and NL-Tag Remover. Think of it as assembling a magical rune set... but for your PC. Once you've got all that sorted, it's console command time. Because nothing says "hero of destiny" like typing a string of numbers into a box.
CosmicBoogaloo isn't new to this whole "utterly bonkers mods" thing. Apparently, they've also chucked a gun into the game (John McClane in Oblivion? I'm strangely okay with this). And let's not forget the melee tree and brick mods. Because sometimes, you just want to beat a dragon to death with a well-placed piece of masonry.
Here's the bit that really tickled me: apparently, in a previous modding escapade, CosmicBoogaloo attempted to make everyone's heads invisible and, well, accidentally decapitated most of the NPC population. We've all been there, haven't we? You mess around with the console, and suddenly, everyone's running around like extras from *Sleepy Hollow*. Gaming: it's a bloody wild ride. I reckon they're a prime candidate to be dabbling with Web3 integrations and community driven games if that is their style.
Anyway, all praise to the modders who keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Oblivion with lightsabers? It's beautiful, it's chaotic, and it's exactly what the Nibenay needed.
