Some Oblivion Remastered players were shocked to find Oblivion gates inside other Oblivion gates, but this is one of the RPG’s old quirks that thankfully survived the remastering

Ever since The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered dropped in April, there’s been an influx of fresh players delving into the RPG realm of Cyrodiil for the first time. Consequently, a new crop of gamers is now uncovering the game’s hidden mysteries and expansive terrain. However, this surge in players has also led to some age-old confusions resurfacing once more.

Communities clashed as a recent discovery left even veteran players baffled – a rare occurrence of an Oblivion gate nesting inside another Oblibion gate, a sight that some seasoned players had never witnessed before.

Initially, it might appear as if there’s a glitch. However, Oblivion is adored for its peculiarities, which encompass rough edges and even game-halting bugs. Some veteran players feared that the remaster would erase all the rough spots that make the game endearing, but they were pleasantly surprised to discover that everything was preserved – both the intended elements and the quirks.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that when new Oblivion gates pop up, it doesn’t always feel like a random event. It seems like the developers at Bethesda have cleverly planned this aspect of the game, making it part of the game design itself.

As I stepped through an Oblivion gate, I stumbled upon a second one in the distance, leaving me utterly astonished. Sharing my incredible discovery on the Oblivion subreddit, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “I’ve just entered this gate to oblivion, it lies behind me! As I journeyed on, I found ANOTHER gate to oblivion directly in front of me. Have any of you fellow adventurers experienced something like this before?

In five and six of the Random Oblivion worlds (there are only seven, contrary to the numerous gateways), an unusual characteristic is shared: each gate offers players a distinct departure point to different parts of the map. These gates also function as individual entry points to these specific Planes of Oblivion from Cyrodiil, rather than serving as a one-directional portal, allowing for bi-directional travel.

As one participant shared this peripheral detail with PerformanceOk9933, other players reacted with equal surprise. A seasoned player who has been playing the game for two decades expressed his astonishment by saying, “Wow, I’ve never even thought of this before!

Interestingly, fresh remarks from perplexed players have popped up on a comparable Reddit discussion that dates back four years. One player commented just 26 days ago, “This is the most recent thread I could find… After 19 years of playing Oblivion, this is my first encounter with it in the remaster.

Another user agrees, saying they recently had their first experience with a connected gate during the remaster, and it felt like reviving this post.

People playfully wondered if this additional entrance might be the pathway to Elder Scrolls 6, or maybe a recurring wagon from Skyrim. Even after almost two decades, there are still many secrets waiting to be uncovered within the world of Oblivion for numerous gamers.
