Oblivion Remastered Gets Wild Dark Souls-Style Multiplayer Messages Across Cyrodil!

by

In Cyrodil, you’ll notice an abundance of floating messages because the Skyrim Together team has shifted their focus to modifying The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Although modding for this upcoming Elder Scrolls game may not be as lavish as a standard main series release, dedicated modders are tirelessly working to offer fresh experiences to fans.

On Nexus Mods, a fresh Ghosts of Tamriel mod has been unveiled, incorporating the player messaging system from Dark Souls across all of Cyrodil. Similar to Dark Souls, this function enables players to exchange knowledge and pay tribute to fallen comrades.

Oblivion Remastered gains Dark Souls messages

Here, you can find the Ghosts of Tamriel mod. To use it during your gameplay, simply open the “quick menu” and hit “Enter” on your keyboard or press “left bumper + bottom face button” on your controller.

Once you’ve launched the “text input area”, players will have the freedom to compose any message they desire. Furthermore, this modification causes other players’ messages to manifest as floating rocks inside the game environment, allowing interaction.

As a gamer, I learned from the creators that I have the power to either upvote or downvote messages in this game. If a message gets too many negative votes, it’ll be taken out. Upvoting is crucial because it makes sure other players can view the messages and resets their expiration time (which lasts for 24 hours since the last upvote).

Essentially, this modification enables players to conceal certain messages they’ve previously viewed, reducing visual noise or simply getting rid of obstructing message rocks when trying to collect items. The design seems quite strategic and considerate.

As a gamer, I’ve found that the Oblivion Remastered mod offers a significantly broader scope for expression compared to the cryptic Dark Souls messages it was modeled after. With the ability to type any message I desire, Cyrodiil can now be inundated with whatever creative ideas my imagination conjures up (which is quite a relief considering the presence of the handy downvote button).

For an effortless installation of the Ghosts of Tamriel mod, players have two options:

a) Utilize a mod management tool such as Nexus’ Vortex for a hassle-free experience.

b) Follow these straightforward instructions manually if you prefer doing things on your own.

  • Install OBSE
  • Extract the files at the root of your game install.
  • Launch the game using OBSE.
