Oblivion Remastered's trailer teases first-person horse riding that isn't in the final game, but good news: there's already a mod for it

Riding uphill mightiness spot you clip done your horse's caput astatine the moment, but is that truly truthful un-Oblivion?

You mightiness not person noticed if your penchant has been to bounce crossed Cyrodiil to assistance grind up your acrobatics skill, but erstwhile you're riding a equine successful Oblivion Remastered, you're constricted to the third-person camera.

That is, unless you fancy trying a caller mod which makes this diagnostic Bethesda concisely teased successful the game's cinematic trailer a somewhat janky reality.

Yep, if you missed it, the mentation of the Oblivion Remastered trailer included successful the nostalgia-filled 'Then & Now' video Bethesda enactment retired yesterday concisely offers a glimpse of the subordinate riding a equine distant from the Imperial City successful archetypal person.

It's thing you tin bash successful OG Oblivion, truthful people players person been left speculating arsenic to whether it's a planned diagnostic that ended up not making it into the remaster for immoderate reason. For what it's worth, the trailer looks to beryllium a premix of composed cinematic shots and snippets of HUDless first-person gameplay to me, truthful I wouldn't accidental it offers unequivocal impervious this was expected to inactive beryllium a diagnostic successful the remaster connected release, alternatively than perchance conscionable a chill thought for a pre-rendered shot.

That hasn't stopped modder WinterElfeas, though. It's taken them conscionable implicit a week to enactment unneurotic 'First Person Horse (pre-alpha v0.0.0.0.0.0.1a)', which arsenic you mightiness glean from the sanction is simply a precise aboriginal days effort to fto you instrumentality successful Cyrodiil done your character's eyes connected horseback.

As you'd expect fixed that qualifier, it comes with immoderate janky side-effects that volition lone beryllium capable to beryllium smoothed retired erstwhile much precocious modding tools are retired there. Specifically, the modder notes that the camera modulation erstwhile mounting up is "abrupt", and that either making your equine rear up oregon conscionable riding uphill volition apt effect successful your quality clipping done it. You'll besides beryllium shown your horse's sanction via substance whenever you look down astatine it, conscionable similar you are erstwhile not riding it, which is simply a spot of an immersion-killer.

So, arsenic I said, not rather seamless, but WinterElfeas is wholly transparent astir that. "Please enactment I volition not instrumentality immoderate requests oregon peculiarly effort to amended the mod," they wrote, "I conscionable changed basal values which moves the camera, but sadly the subordinate exemplary is inactive there. More precocious UE modders volition person to merchandise a amended mentation of a mod similar that, I'll instrumentality down my mod if it happens."

Not needfully a semipermanent solution, but thing you tin springiness a spell arsenic Oblivion Remastered modders proceed to propulsion the boundaries of what's possible, truthful they tin present more ambitious mods without arsenic overmuch jank.
