In Melegie’s latest video, the YouTuber plays The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion’s Harvest Dawn song on their harp. The Oblivion Harvest Dawn song is one of the most recognizable tracks from the game. Many fans associate the song with The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion’s NPCs, as it often plays in the background while they are talking to the player character. And as a result, the song can also be heard in many Elder Scrolls memes surrounding Oblivion’s quirky NPCs as well.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion and its soundtrack may not get nearly as much attention as Skyrim, but as Melegie’s performance illustrates, the game still has its dedicated fans. Many of these fans have been asking for an Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster for modern platforms, though nothing like that has materialized to date.
While there is no Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster to play, the game is still readily available on modern platforms. In fact, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion can be played on a console as new as the Xbox Series X thanks to its backward compatibility program. Not only that, but those interested in revisiting the classic game can do so at a very low cost as Oblivion is part of Xbox Game Pass, just like most other Bethesda-owned games.
When it comes to Oblivion, there are many reasons why Elder Scrolls fans still hold the game in such high regard. Oblivion’s Dark Brotherhood questline is often considered one of the better faction quests in the franchise, plus there is significant environmental variety compared to Skyrim, which is set in a region that’s mostly snowy and mountainous. Oblivion has plenty of popular and recognizable NPCs as well, like the obnoxious Arena fan, who still pops up in memes to this day.
Maybe Elder Scrolls fans will one day get their Oblivion remaster, but if it does come, it won’t necessarily be made by Bethesda. Now that Microsoft owns Bethesda, it could theoretically hand the keys over to another studio while Bethesda works on games like 2022’s Starfield or the upcoming Elder Scrolls 6. That way fans can enjoy classic Elder Scrolls games while waiting for Bethesda’s new titles to come out.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is out now for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
