Oh man, so here’s the thing. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, right? It’s back. And not just back, but like, really back—remastered and all shiny on PC and consoles. I mean, when was Oblivion not a thing? But anyway, this time, it’s like Bethesda decided, “Let’s make it all new again,” which… I’m not complaining.
So, get this, they switched it up to Unreal Engine 5. If you’re like me, you’re probably wondering why I know this. But it means better stuff—textures, characters, lights, the whole shebang. And it’s like a playground for modders now. Some genius named ‘Praydog’ figured out a VR plugin too. Praydog. Sounds like the name of a superhero dog, doesn’t it?
UEVR is what they call it, full of these geeky features: 6DOF head movement—yeah, whatever that means, I nodded along—full 3D view, motion controller support. But you’ve got to tinker a bit, which sounds intimidating. Some YouTuber, ‘LunchAndVR,’ is already knee-deep in it, trying to work magic.
There’s this video too—LunchAndVR pokes around, fighting rats and zombies in a dungeon like it’s just another Tuesday. Seriously, the lighting and all? Mind-blowing, even if the outdoor stuff is kind of meh.
But wait, the setup. You ever feel like you’re reading tech specs and all you see are random numbers? It’s running on this monster rig. RTX 4090, some Intel Core i9 beast of a thing, 64GB RAM—whatever happened to good old-fashioned fun with a controller? And it’s laid on a Quest 3, pushed to its limits. Need deep pockets or a forgiving wallet. Medium graphics with DLSS, if you know, you know. If you don’t—join the club.
But hey, if you’re curious—and trusty enough to juggle crashing motion controls—grab Praydog’s mod. Oh, and this guy, LunchAndVR, he’s got profiles from Keyser and Pande4360—names straight outta spy novels. They’re tweaking and adjusting for VR. Google Drive has the hookup if you’re brave enough to dive in.
Okay, original copy of Oblivion Remastered is needed—no short cuts, folks. Whether from Steam or Xbox’s PC Game Pass, take your pick. Anyway, if you’re gonna be that VR trailblazer, hats off to you. Just don’t blame me if your PC catches fire.
