How long to beat The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
How much time should you expect to spend in Cyrodiil?
Wondering how long it takes to beat The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered ? The remaster of Oblivion contains all of the content of the original game from 2006 plus its expansions, so you should expect your journey through the magical realm of Cyrodiil to last a long while. The exact duration of your playthrough will heavily depend on your playstyle - for instance, are you focusing on the main story or gearing up for a completionist run? Whatever your goals, this guide will provide a brief estimate of the playtime required to beat The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
How long to beat The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
If you're speedrunning just the main story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, you can complete it in about 15 to 20 hours. If you slow down a tad, enjoy a healthy amount of side quests, some exploration, and a few secondary activities, you're likely looking at about 30 to 40 hours of gameplay.
Oblivion Remastered contains not only the original game, but also its two expansion packs - Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles. If you're more thorough and wish to complete the main story and most of the quests in the expansions, expect a playthrough of 80 hours or so. I recommend this path to get the 'full Oblivion experience' with plenty of time to meet interesting NPCs and discover most areas on the map.
Are you going for a completionist Oblivion experience? Completing the main story, doing every side quest, exploring the full map, clearing all dungeons, and messing around with features like alchemy, spellcrafting, and house-hunting should set you up for a 100+ hours playthrough. Heck, you might even spend over 200 or more hours in Cyrodiil if you keep a relaxed pace.
Best of luck out there in the expansive world of Cyrodiil, and for all of you who didn't play the original Oblivion in 2006, you've got a real treat on your hands. Keep your eyes on Rock Paper Shotgun in the upcoming days as we proceed to break down every detail of this expansive Bethesda classic!
