Oblivion Remastered lit a fire under The Elder Scrolls community, igniting age-old debates (if you count 2006 as 'age-old'), while also ushering newcomers down some of the series' more bizarre rabbit holes. What's more, it enticed new and veteran fans alike to revisit the classics. Just look at Morrowind, which came a Netch's breadth away from beating a 12-year-old record thanks to Virtuos' revamped take on Cyrodiil.
