Proper, so, there’s an Oblivion Remastered clip that is been doing the rounds on Reddit. It seems – or so its poster claims – to point out a participant randomly discovering a bizarre ghostly horse simply outdoors of Frostcrag Spire.
Cue an entire bunch of debate as as to whether it may probably be a contemporary secret within the vein of Skyrim’s very actual Headless Horseman that is simply been uncovered, a bizarre bug of the sort each traditional and remastered Oblivion have in notorious abundance, or simply somebody trolling their socks off.
The poster, a consumer going by TaricIsNotASupport, has definitely been pushing the primary of these choices of their quite a few posts about this horse, which they’ve dubbed “Spookmane”. To be honest to them, they’ve included movies of them approaching the horse, driving it, and even falling off a cliff on it.
“I used to be crafting silly spells in Frostcrag Spire, because it’s probably my favorite approach to have enjoyable on this sport, nonetheless this time once I left the Cosy Chaos Spire that has divided this group so very a lot I observed one thing suuuuuuper unusual within the distance,” TaricIsNotASupport wrote of their first put up.
“I did as any of us of the best thoughts would do and B-lined it over there like a maniac. To my amazement was this spectral horse with no identify. I’ve performed 1000’s of hours of the unique Oblivion – and have already sunken over 100 hours into the Remaster – but that is the primary I’ve ever seen this horse.”
It does not appear to be they’re being forgetful – OG Oblivion to my information and the information of the commenters within the thread does not have a identified distinctive spectral horse that simply spawns within the wilds. That is not gotten this participant off the hook when it comes to fakery suspicions, with the actual fact they give the impression of being to have averted pointing their crosshair straight on the horse within the clips they’ve posted having led a bunch of oldsters to query if that is legit.
For what it is price, TaricIsNotASupport claims to be on PS5 and subsequently with out entry to the console instructions that might allow them to search for the ID of the horse – which they declare has no show identify. If true, that might additionally imply they’ve run into this map glitch from one in every of their earlier posts with none PC manipulation too. Definitely not inconceivable, however beginning to pressure credulity a bit.
Whereas investigating this crucial problem, I ran throughout a remark in one in every of threads from a consumer going by SaukPuhpet, who identified that on PC you may replicate one thing just like the spectral impact in your horse that TaricIsNotASupport’s mount has by making use of spell results to your horse utilizing the console and offered some spell IDs to attempt.
So, I attempted this myself, reasoning that if the precise impact within the clip confirmed up, that’d be delusion busted. Sadly, I have not been in a position to replicate that very same see-through-with-green-tinge look, however I used to be in a position to flip horses completely invisible in a vogue that simply left then trying like a floating saddle and mane. I additionally managed to show one right into a blue/white ghost, as you may see beneath.
Fable not completely busted, then, regardless of the efforts of my Adamus Savage and his co-host Jamie Adoringfan. That stated, my work wasn’t achieved. That is VG247, so after all I’ve shamelessly taken benefit of this excuse to ask Bethesda and Virtuos in the event that they’ve added some contemporary secrets and techniques to the remaster – this text’ll be up to date if I get something again.
Do you assume this mysterious ghost horse is actual or simply an elaborate prank that is just about labored as a result of nobody remembers all the things from 2006? Tell us beneath!
