Fancy ordering a pretend pizza in Oblivion (or perhaps a actual one)? Modding lets you try this. However it’s not all about sizzling slices of ‘za delivered by a skeleton. After virtually 20 years, individuals are nonetheless trying to tinker with the visuals of the fourth Elder Scrolls sport. Simply not at all times in the best way you would possibly anticipate.

Take Nexus Mods consumer Wilker as a latest instance. If you need TES4 to be extra styled after the likes of 2002’s The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, look no additional. That’s precisely what this mod does, by swapping out Oblivion‘s visuals for cel-shaded graphics (also referred to as “toon shading”).

Whereas the title refers to it as “Oblivion 64” – suggesting the graphics are on par with the Nintendo 64 period – Wilker says within the description they “desire the extra vibrant type” of cel-shaded video games. Therefore, the Wind Waker (in addition to Pokémon) affect.

I don’t suppose the Hero of Kvatch goes “hyah!” although

As for what the mod particularly adjustments, effectively you’ll discover that the pack converts the next:

• The panorama (each exterior space, like forests, mountains, and many others…)
• All of the cities
• All dungeons, Ayleid ruins, caves, and many others…
• The Oblivion Airplane

So it’s just about virtually every part, apart from the NPCs and enemies. That’s advantageous. It does make the sport look lots brighter, judging by the pictures.

It’s fairly cool to see folks nonetheless messing about with the unique Oblivion format all these years later. Whereas the mere point out of The Elder Scrolls sometimes conjures up Skyrim for a lot of, there’s consolation in realizing that the older entries haven’t been utterly misplaced on this existential fashionable gaming period.
