“I don’t know why I put myself through this”: Oblivion Remastered player spends 100 hours spamming the game’s simplest spell in sewers to fulfil a childhood goal

Oblivion Remastered

Does this impress you, or disgust you? Explanation below from r/oblivion

“Fast-forward to 2025, and I got the absurd idea to try it again,” they write. “I’d already handled some lockpicks and other skills, so I focused on building the most powerful level-1 character I could before the emperor event triggers. That’s when I started spamming Clairvoyance to blow up my Mysticism level.”

“I don’t know why I put myself through this nonsense, but after more than 100 hours I can confirm Mysticism — when trained only by spamming Clairvoyance — is the most tedious. Today I finally hit 100 and crossed it off my list. It probably makes zero sense, but young-me would have been proud, and that’s satisfying.”

It’s easy to see why someone would revisit childhood challenges; as Hippos_R_Us puts it, it’s fun to conquer milestones you remembered from younger days. Is the run impressive, or a waste of time? Plenty of readers called it impressive. The Redditor also revealed how they did it in the comments: “Honestly, I just spammed it on my Steam Deck while we watched TV.”

Oblivion Remastered’s “physical” console editions will require a content download, and some fans aren’t pleased: why release something physical that still needs a download?
