Oblivion: Somehow, 17 years have passed since The Elder Scrolls went mainstream and changed gaming forever
It’s completely absurd that the best part of twenty years have chundered along since The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion came out. I barely feel old enough to have fully formed memories of doing things that long ago. But yes, fine, calendars don’t lie, and it really has been seventeen years, three console generations, and an entire global pandemic between the time that Oblivion first graced our monitor screens… and now.
It’s difficult to remember just how different the gaming landscape was back then. With the Nintendo’s Wii and Sony’s PS3 still months away from launch (and the latter stumbling its way out of the birth canal on a wave of bad PR), the Red Ring saga yet to hit Microsoft in the pocket, and Don Mattrick still working in relative obscurity at Electronic Arts, the Xbox brand was a serious, solid contender in the console space. It had beaten its contenders onto shelves by a full year, and by March 2006, the stage had been set for Next Gen to truly start.
Which it did. Despite Kaz Hirai’s flippant insistence that Sony, and Sony alone, would decide when the next generation starts, what actually kicked it off was a little game called The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, in what would be a watershed moment not just for Bethesda Softworks, but for RPGs in general.
Put Skyrim mods aside as Oblivion and Morrowind collide in new project
There’s plenty of new Skyrim mods to help fantasy fans pass the time until the next Bethesda games arrive, but the wait for Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 release date just got easier thanks to a crossover mod featuring two older entries in the series. Both Morrowind and Oblivion are worthy of their place among the best RPG games of all time, and a new Elder Scrolls mod brings them together in spectacular fashion.

This mod allows you to order real pizza from within Oblivion
Have you ever been playing a game and craved some pizza? Of course you have. If you’re like me, you crave pizza literally all the time. Well, a new mod for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is here to help. It lets you order a real world pizza delivery from Domino’s via an in-game NPC. Magic.
Oblivion mod lets you order real pizza in the Bethesda RPG
We know gaming can leave you feeling peckish, so now an Oblivion mod lets you order a pizza in the classic Bethesda RPG game and have it actually arrive at your doorstep. Ever since the introduction of a Pizza Hut collaboration with MMORPG EverQuest II in 2005 that let players type /pizza into the in-game chat window to order a delicious dinner without so much as minimising their game, the idea of ordering real food through a virtual world has been a lofty aspiration. Now, you can do just that in The Elder Scrolls IV.
