I love Oblivion; I'm glad that they're changing it.

When Bethesda finally decided to remaster Oblivion, they had one of two options:

1. Try and remake the game to be as faithful to the original as possible, or

2. Try and remake the game with a fresh vision in mind

If they intentionally went for the second option and are trying to give the game a new art style --- a fresh creative direction --- then I'd argue that they're succeeding in their attempt, based on what we've seen, and I'm all for it.

I love Oblivion. It is a game that got me through some pretty tough times in my childhood. Like many of us, I can still remember the time when I was a little kid, swathed in blankets at the end of my bed in the dark of my room, emerging from the Imperial City sewers and being left in awe of Lake Rumare and the Alyeid ruins and the wonderous splendour that permeated every square millimetre of this game that we collectively adore.

It is with this love that I can honestly say that I'm happy that the remake has made creative changes. I'm happy that it has a new colour grading and that the creatures are different and that the Oblivion gates are new. I'm happy that they are making gameplay changes and adding content.

Not because I want Oblivion to change, but because I don't want Oblivion to be replaced.

There are reasons why this game has staying power. Like every TES game that came before it and, I'd argue, after it, it has its own charm; its own personality. Oblivion often feels like playing a moving painting, and while it does have some technical pains (I'm not such a die-hard purist that I don't mod the levelling system to bits) it manages to hold up to more modern games not by matching them on a technical level, but by surpassing them with the very 'X' factor that this series lives by; the same X-factor that has kept Skyrim chugging along all this time, and keeps ESO relevant and distinct in the MMO space, and keeps people coming back to Oblivion and Morrowind and even the games before it.

I'm talking about heart. Soul. This thing that not only Bethesda but every creative who touches this franchise can't help but instil into the end product. These games have always been a product of passion, and that passion --- that love and starry-eyed adoration --- is what pushes people to continue exploring and expanding upon this world. It's what keeps The Elder Scrolls' lore-scape alive, with people like Drewmora still pulling in audiences every time he releases a video to capture our imaginations once again, simply by delving into TES' guts to pull out another story to tell; by keeping the dream alive.

Bethesda could have just upped the texture quality, updated the physics and weather and lighting and called it a day; shove it onto modern hardware and say "there, we've done it, STOP asking now". Instead, they've gone in and changed... a lot. Just like how Morrowind doesn't feel like Oblivion doesn't feel like Skyrim, the Oblivion Remaster looks to me like it has been filtered through an entirely different creative lens. Just like how every TES game before it had its own vibe, so too does the Remaster, and I hope that they work with that beyond the surface level.

The Oblivion Crisis was a terrifying, horrifying time for the people of Tamriel, and with this new warmer, darker, more realistic tone, I really hope that they explore that. Imagine Lucien Lechance's hanging corps in Unreal Engine 5; imagine the death and destruction at Kvatch, or the Shivering Isles' Dementia region. The Elder Scrolls has some hardcore horror elements that are only really held back by Bethesda's restraint. But that's besides the point.

The actual point is that they could have just replaced Oblivion, but they didn't. They look like they have made a distinct reinterpretation of this game that we love, which will serve to not only elevate the remaster as a distinct product, but to also keep the original alive, in its own vein. The original Oblivion is going to remain its own product; its own personality, distinct from this remaster.

I can see myself playing the absolute hell out of this remaster, provided that they nail it. And yet, I can still see myself returning to the game that made my childhood, after the fact. And I think that's beautiful.

I also think that the state of this remaster will give us a good look at the state of Bethesda, ahead of the release of The Elder Scrolls: VI. There's no denying that they still have the practical chops for making an Elder Scrolls game, but I think that their approach to this remaster will be incredibly indicative of VI's quality. I really, desperately want to believe that Todd Howard and his creative team have the love in their hearts for this franchise, like we do. Because that's what makes these games. Not the physics engine or the combat or the magic systems; it sure-as-hell isn't the Creation Club, though I fully expect to see that, too.

This is a franchise that was built on creative freedom, both on the part of the developers and the players. We lost a fair bit of that in Skyrim. Now, they're remastering a game that did it right, and I can only hope that by looking back at their successes and what made them so great --- what made Oblivion so great --- that they are able to pull away from the shallowness that afflicted so many of Skyrim's systems. They took the right steps in Fallout 4, as far as deepening the systems from previous entries is concerned, though the dialogue took such a hit in that game due to its voiced protagonists that its almost difficult to look at its depth objectively.

And Starfield, the failure that is was, was struck down largely by its own lofty ambitions.

I want to see that ambition in TES VI. And as far as I can tell, we are already seeing it in the few images we've got of the remaster.

What I'm saying, above all else, is that there is hope.

Hope that we will be delivered a deeper, more unique TES experience. Hope that The Elder Scrolls maintains its ever-changing soul. The game entered full production (as opposed to pre-production) in 2023, and the longer they give the game to cook, the better. In the meantime, I'm happy for Bethesda to Take Me to Oblivion again.

The Mirror of Spirit: How Cardology Reflects the Life You Live

“Every card has two faces — the one it wears in the spirit, and the one it wears in the world. That’s the wisdom of the Grand Solar Spread.”

There is a sacred mirror in the universe that reflects not just who we are — but who we’ve always been. In Cardology, this mirror is called the Grand Solar Spread.

It shows your life like a deck laid out between spirit and self, heaven and earth, past and present.

🜃 On the left side, we see your Spirit Cards — your ancestral code, soul essence, karmic memory, and past-life echoes.

🜁 On the right side, we see your Natural Cards — the physical lessons you’re navigating now, the challenges you face, the way your soul is expressing itself through human experience.

And when you look at both sides together… you don’t just see your life — you see your pattern.

🔮 Here’s a taste of what you’ll learn in the full breakdown:

Why your spirit side reveals your past lives, spiritual gifts, and ancestral contracts

Why your natural side exposes your real-time alignment, triggers, and purpose

How the Sun through Neptune rows (horizontal) unlock a spiritual map of planetary influence

What it means when a card repeats on both sides… and why that’s a karmic portal

✨ I even go deep into how to read a relationship, using left vs. right sides to spot past-life soul ties, spiritual tests, and emotional healing cycles.
