The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is renowned for its immersive world filled with eerie elements such as skeletons, spirits, and even zombies. However, one mysterious addition has caught everyone’s attention—a spectral horse that seems to have slipped under the radar until now.
This intriguing tale starts with a Reddit post by user TaricIsNotASupport, who shared a discovery while exploring Frostcrag Spire. While crafting spells, they stumbled upon something truly unusual—a ghostly horse standing silently in the distance.
"I was experimenting with spell creation when I noticed something peculiar," TaricIsNotASupport recounted. "Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a spectral horse. I've logged hundreds of hours across both the original Oblivion and its remastered version, yet this was the first time I’d encountered it."
Despite extensive searches through fan sites and forums, no one has been able to confirm whether this ghostly equine is a new addition or simply a long-overlooked feature. Some speculate it might be the result of a coding error, given Bethesda’s history with game glitches. Others believe it could be a hidden easter egg, added by the developers to surprise players.
What makes this discovery even more fascinating is its functionality—it behaves just like any other horse in the game, allowing riders to fast travel and stable the creature. In the absence of an official name, TaricIsNotASupport affectionately dubbed the horse 'Spookmane,' quickly becoming a beloved figure within the Oblivion community.
Oblivion Remastered, crafted using Unreal Engine 5, brings numerous enhancements beyond its haunting additions. Fans appreciate the upgraded visuals, smoother performance, and refined gameplay mechanics. Yet, despite these improvements, some argue the title deserves the label of a full-fledged remake rather than a remaster.
As players dive deeper into this revamped classic, tips like tackling Kvatch early or venturing beyond Cyrodiil into uncharted territories are proving invaluable.
