In the Oblivion Remastered game, a modification has been implemented which introduces Dark Souls-esque player messages, allowing users to type messages such as 'Attempt finger in socket' in the presence of Patrick Stewart.

In the realm of gaming, what truly sets FromSoft's titles apart isn't their hard-hitting boss fights, intricate lore, or somber villains. It's the joyous chaos of scribbling 'Don't give up, skeleton' and 'Try the finger, but through the hole' across every nook and cranny, and subjecting gamers worldwide to a shared hilarity.
Now, thanks to creative modders, we're one step closer to a world where this delightful madness is the new normal. Ghosts of Tamriel, a mod for Oblivion Remastered (via VG247), allows you to leave similar messages—akin to Dark Souls—for your fellow characters traversing the land of Kvatch.
Crafted by yamashi and jay-jay, the mod enables you to drop messages anywhere in Cyrodiil for fellow players (who have the mod, naturally) to read by simply pressing CTRL on your keyboard. The messages take on familiar shapes, resembling floating Welkynd Stones—those glowing blue mana-restoring rocks from Ayleid ruins—and boast a flexibility beyond FromSoft's finite, sometimes risqué sentence structures.
This entire venture dances dangerously close to chaos, but with a clever voting system in place, players can upvote and downvote content to keep things civil. Messages disappear after 24 hours, but their lifespan resets when they receive an upvote. If a message gathers too many downvotes, it gets booted out of the system entirely. Users may also hide messages they find offensive to their personal gaming experience.
The mod necessitates an internet connection, as your character's name will accompany your messages to maintain accountability. Beyond that, anonymity reigns, harking back to early internet days—fitting for a remaster of a game from '06. "The data sent to the server disappears forever," the authors assure us, "it only exists while the message is visible to other players."
If you're eager to share your wit and wisdom with the Oblivion community at large, head over to Nexus, install the Oblivion Remastered Script Extender, then dive into Ghosts of Tamriel using your mod manager and start chatting.
