19 years later, Oblivion Remastered has renewed my interest in walking into people’s houses uninvited

Revisiting an old pastime from high school, I found myself once again rummaging through houses’ items and trespassing into dwellings while playing Oblivion, all in the name of discovering the quirks (if any) of each NPC and their lives. To this day, The Elder Scrolls 4 still manages to captivate – glitches and all – by creating the impression of a vibrant, living fantasy world. At times, I simply enjoy watching Cyrodiil carry on without my direct involvement.
