The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Update 1.2

Oblivion Remastered Update 1.2

In update 1.2 we’ve focused on various fixes for quests, gameplay, and performance. In addition, we’ve included several damage settings to allow you to fine tune your play experience. Update 1.2 will be rolling out today to all platforms.

See the full list of changes coming with 1.2 below:

SETTINGS CHANGES

• We’ve added additional difficulty settings to allow players to further tune their “Player Combat Damage” & “Enemy Combat Damage”. Players can now select from “Novice”, “Apprentice”, “Adept”, “Journeyman”, “Expert”, and “Master” options in the Gameplay menu. We hope the “Journeyman” setting, specifically, will act as a better bridge between “Adept” and “Expert” for players.
