US EditionThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Update 1.2 Quietly Closes the Door on Dark Brotherhood Lore Blunder
NO LOC, JUL 15 – Update 1.2 restores Dark Brotherhood door lore by depicting five children, adds six difficulty levels, and improves performance with multiple bug fixes, Bethesda confirmed.
- In April, Bethesda launched a revamped version of their 19-year-old open-world RPG, which quickly gained significant popularity.
- Players noticed the remaster’s Dark Brotherhood door erroneously depicted seven children instead of five, breaking established Elder Scrolls lore, prompting calls for a fix.
- In June, Oblivion Remastered’s first major update 1.2 arrived on Steam beta, focused on bug fixes, performance improvements, and adding a new difficulty option.
- The 1.2 update restored the Dark Brotherhood door’s original red glow and corrected the relief to show five children, making it lore-compliant though this change was not listed in patch notes.
- This patch resolves a frustrating lore inconsistency for fans and is expected to roll out on other platforms later, while maintaining the remaster’s balance of charm and technical polish.
