A dedicated player of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered recently shared their encounter with a bizarre alchemy glitch that transformed all their potions into five-pound burdens, threatening to derail their adventure. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has proven to be a monumental success for Bethesda, amassing four million players shortly after its release, a testament to its enduring appeal.

Beyond its impressive player count, achieved through both retail sales and Game Pass, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered ranks as the third best-selling game of 2025. The beloved RPG trails only behind Monster Hunter Wilds and Assassin's Creed Shadows, both of which debuted earlier in the year.

On a popular gaming forum, ProfessionalPSD recounted their frustrating experience with an alchemy glitch that could spell disaster for unsuspecting players. After achieving Alchemy level 100 in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, they crafted Fatigue Potions using a pumpkin, only to find each potion weighed a staggering five pounds. Attempts to create potions with different ingredients yielded the same heavy result. Given the game's encumbrance mechanics, this glitch could severely limit a player's ability to carry essential items, forcing ProfessionalPSD to revert to an earlier save and lose progress.

Fatigue management is crucial in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, making the glitch particularly troublesome. ProfessionalPSD's warning sparked discussions, with some players humorously suggesting renaming potions as a potential fix—a nod to the game's history of quirky solutions to bizarre bugs.

Amidst the glitch talk, rumors from a Microsoft insider have surfaced, suggesting The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered might grace the Nintendo Switch 2 in the future. While Bethesda remains silent, the prospect of portable Cyrodiil has fans buzzing with anticipation. For now, players continue to explore the vast, glitch-ridden world of Oblivion Remastered, proving that even after years, Tamriel still holds surprises.
