Oblivion has one of the most famous tutorials in video game history. Players must navigate their way through the sewers, eventually emerging into the blinding sunlight on the other side. There's something significant that has to happen in those sewers before the story can progress, and a whole new crop of Oblivion players has been trying to circumvent that event in the remaster.
Oblivion Remastered shadow dropped last week, leading to millions of people jumping into the polished version of the almost-20-year-old game, some of them for the first time. Oblivion opens with your character in a cell, but they are freed by Emperor Uriel Septim who reveals he has seen you in his dreams, and informs you that he has foreseen his own imminent demise.
Sandfall and Kepler were confident that Clair Obscur wouldn't be overshadowed by Oblivion Remastered.
While following the Emperor out of your cell and through the sewers, an assassin appears from the shadows and kills him, a death which, as you were informed just moments before, Septim saw coming and had already accepted. Despite that, so many of us restarted/reloaded the original Oblivion 19 years ago, convinced we could stop the canon...
