Despite being a remaster of an almost 20 12 months outdated recreation, Oblivion Remastered‘s performance leaves a lot to be desired. Even high-end PCs are struggling to run this game smoothly. The Ultimate Engine Tweaks mod is an essential addition to enjoy this game as it was intended.

However, now we’ve mods to deliver this outdated design in line. Quest NPCs Run does precisely what it says on the tin; NPCs will now run when you find yourself serving to them with quests. The mod presently works with over a dozen quests, however the creator remains to be in search of any extra which will have been missed. Oblivion is a protracted recreation already so the very last thing you want is a gradual NPC including pointless padding to your adventures.
