Chameleon doesn’t work on your quiver in third person unless you unequal something.
The Starlight spell (school of Illusion) casts but does nothing. If you look directly down it suddenly starts working.
I think it currently only works in third person funny enough. I’ve had the same issue so I’m just back to torches because I never liked third person view in these games.
Thought I was going crazy
Ran into a couple small bugs on xbox.
When making a potion the game crashed. After repeating it multiple times, I figured out that it only happened when mixing a stolen and non stollen ingredient. I have not retested since the last update.
Prior to the update, I could not create an enchanted item with a static effect at frostcrag spire. For example, a ring with nighteye. I could create one with detect life because it was a magnitude selector. This bug went away after the update.
I was doing a quest in Cheydenhal when the guards were leaving the barracks. All of them came out naked for some reason. After going into an inn and returning outside they were armored like they should have been.
Hey man, no kink shaming!
Last night I tried doing the Corruption and Conscience quest in Cheydenhall and got to the very end.
It told me to wait 2 hours before meeting a dude at a tavern. I waited 2 hours and the dude never showed up. Turns out you’re supposed to wait in front of the tavern and not right next to him. Totally bugged, can’t complete it.
I looked it up and used a console command which reset his character and allowed me to finish the quest but at the expense of any and all future achievements (since using a single console command removes steam achievements).
Had to decide if quest completion or achievements were more important to me. Sucks.
There is probably a mod that will re-enable achievements, if not yet, there will be soon.
Edit
It looks like this may do it, though I haven’t tested it as I don’t have the game. https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/125?tab=posts&BH=2
I finished the base game earlier today, doing the shivering isles now. It’s a great remaster, but it definitely needs a few updates. Performance and bugs aside, the balance of the game is all over the place and the difficulty options are broken. Expert is way too hard, adept is too easy. Luckily, modders already fixed a lot of things.
I highly recommend modding your game to improve a few things:
-
Ultimate Engine Tweaks improves performance at zero cost to graphics. It also helped significantly with stutters.
-
Difficulty Slider Fixed makes the difference between difficulties less drastic
-
More Damage makes everything (including enemies) deal more damage. A must have imo because Bethesda’s school of spongy enemies is really outdated game design. 2x more damage on everything makes combat deadlier and more exciting.
P.S. there’s an “unofficial oblivion remastered patch mod” that claims to fix thousands of bugs, but in reality it makes the game more unstable and has its own issues. Don’t use it yet.
I’ll have to try the UET mod but the author’s changelog doesn’t inspire much confidence.
I have found that adept gets more balanced as you level up, I’m level 8 right now and I’ve had a few challenging fights. I had to reload before the arena fight with the twin bosmers because I simply cannot beat them. But yeah it is waay too easy at the start, which arguably is when it should be the most challenging.
Expert is just insane. Who ever plays in master really needs to get their head checked, I imagine fighting two enemies takes half an hour of hacking away while chugging stacks of health pots.
I have found that adept gets more balanced as you level up, I’m level 8 right now and I’ve had a few challenging fights.
A little over level 10 is where the game gets most difficult, then it quickly gets easier again. Once you have a powerful restoration spell you’re almost unkillable on adept.
