Birds fly, the sun shines, water is wet, and Bethesda games get unofficial patches. There’s Morrowind’s Patch for Purists, the Yukichigai Patch for New Vegas (an Obsidian game, but Bethesda’s engine down to its bones), even a Community Patch for Starfield. This is an immutable law of the universe, and not even wrapping original Oblivion in an Unreal Engine 5 layer makes it any less true.
So I doubt anyone was too surprised when a mod by an author named Arthmoor called the Unofficial Oblivion Remastered Patch – UORP popped up on Nexus Mods just one week after Oblivion Remastered launched on April 22. What might be surprising, if you’re not all that wired into the Bethesda mod scene, is how angry that made everyone.
Considering the new game uses the exact same data to run the game as the OG, I am going to guess before reading the whole article that it pissed people off because they simply took the original Unofficial Patch and just uploaded it, and took credit for creating it for the Remaster.
Edit: Surprising. That was not it. It’s because the modder himself is a known to be a major douchebag. 🤣
