The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Achievement Stats Suggest Not Many of You Have Completed the Main Questline — Are You Getting Sidetracked Like Everyone Else?

A period aft launch, a tiny percent of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered players person completed the main questline. But for a crippled similar this, that’s not peculiarly astonishing — fans are saying they’re mode excessively engaged doing different stuff.

I’m 1 of those fans! I’ve been playing and enjoying Oblivion Remastered since it shadow-dropped connected April 22, and upon leaving the sewers and handing implicit the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre astatine Weynon Priory, I’ve done everything BUT the main questline. I’ve joined the Fighters Guild, explored Cyrodiil, and completed loads of broadside quests. I’ve adjacent tried to brute unit my mode retired of the map, arsenic 1 subordinate managed to do.

Why? Well, the broadside quests successful Oblivion are superb amusive (I won’t spoil immoderate communicative worldly here), but I'm besides trying to debar the main quest (and perchance hard parts of it similar Kvatch) for the clip being portion keeping leveling up to a minimum.

So, I’ve decided to bask Oblivion until I get bored capable to play the crippled properly. Although determination is nary properly with a Bethesda crippled similar this one, is there? That’s wherefore they’re brilliant. You bash what you privation whenever you want, and the crippled inactive works.

It seems a batch of different players are doing the aforesaid thing. “I'm BUSY doing OTHER STUFF similar hunting for SLAUGHTERFISH successful Lake Rumare,” the wonderfully named redditor MrCrispyFriedChicken said successful effect to the percent completion stats for finishing Oblivion Remastered’s main questline.

“I walk 160 hours successful already and Kvatch is inactive waiting for me,” added Roffear. “I'm 1 of those weirdos who really likes the Oblivion gates truthful I purposefully don't decorativeness the main quest until I've recovered each 60 gates successful my satellite and closed them,” said Ellert0. “44 hours and an existent in-game year, and I haven't adjacent been to Weynon Priory,” said PlayaHatinIG-88. “Those mediocre Kvatch metropolis guards ne'er stood a chance.”

At the clip of this article’s publication, a paltry 2.97% had completed Oblivion Remastered's main questline connected Xbox and a somewhat amended 4.4% had connected Steam. Why the difference? I presume that’s due to the fact that Xbox factors successful Game Pass, which volition person seen a fig of players dip their toed into Oblivion Remastered earlier bouncing. Steam players are each in, of course, due to the fact that they really bought the crippled outright.

Either way, it’s inactive a debased percent for Oblivion Remastered, which has truthful acold seen implicit 4 cardinal players. But successful information astir video games person a amazingly debased run completion rate, whether it’s an epic, 100-hour open-world phantasy role-playing crippled similar Oblivion Remastered oregon a five-hour communicative similar Call of Duty. Indeed, a batch of games person a amazingly debased percent of players who instrumentality astir aft an hr oregon truthful oregon proceed playing aft the tutorial. Such is the fickle quality of the gamer.

For Oblivion Remastered, the stats whitethorn beryllium skewed further due to the fact that it’s a remaster of a beloved crippled galore of its players finished backmost successful the day. If you completed Oblivion's main quest 20 years ago, possibly you’re little inclined to bash it again now, and would alternatively absorption connected each the beauteous caller visuals and upgraded bits and bobs. Or, arsenic 1 subordinate has done, walk 7 hours lining up books to get a Dominoes concatenation absorption conscionable right.

Thaddeus122 said they were astir 100 hours successful and hadn’t adjacent completed 3 of the main quests. They have, however, completed the Arena and the Mages Guild. And the remainder of the time? “Leveling, getting wealth for homes, closing each the Oblivion gates, the Nirnroot quest, a clump of small quests. To beryllium fair, besides don't accelerated question anywhere.”
