In a delightful nod to its legacy, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has retained one of the original game's most beloved audio bloopers. While the remaster enhances Cyrodiil's visuals and gameplay, Bethesda wisely preserved this iconic moment that longtime players remember fondly.

Following years of speculation, Bethesda surprised fans by shadow-dropping Oblivion Remastered on April 22, 2025. Unlike some remakes that completely overhaul original content, this version maintains much of the original voice acting - including one particularly memorable blooper that has become part of Oblivion's legend.

The blooper in question involves Tandilwe, an Altmer Master Speechcraft trainer in the Imperial City. In the original game, players could hear the voice actor deliver a line, pause to request another take, then re-deliver the line differently. This behind-the-scenes moment accidentally made it into the final release and has now been lovingly preserved in the remaster.

Latest Game Information

What was originally an editing oversight in 2006 appears to be an intentional design choice for the remaster. While Tandilwe's original blooper lacked proper lip-sync, the remastered version features updated facial animations that match the re-recorded dialogue - suggesting Bethesda deliberately included this nostalgic moment.

Bethesda games have always embraced their quirks, and Oblivion was particularly notable for its unconventional voice recording process. Due to technical limitations of the era, many NPCs shared voice actors, resulting in amusing inconsistencies like beggars suddenly speaking with aristocratic diction. These charming imperfections have been preserved in the remaster, maintaining the game's unique personality.
