Oblivion Remastered Fans Upset Over Fine Steel Claymore Redesign
Some fans of *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered* are voicing frustration after noticing that the **Fine Steel Claymore** now shares the same model as the regular Steel Claymore, a change from the original 2006 game where the weapon had a more distinct, elegant design.
The complaint, posted by Reddit user **Majestic\_Address\_373**, quickly gained traction with over **2,300 upvotes**, as many players agreed that the change diminishes the weapon’s uniqueness. Others also criticized the overall **performance nerf of claymores**, claiming they are less effective compared to other melee weapons like daggers and shortswords.
Despite these issues, *Oblivion Remastered* has been a massive hit since its launch last month, quickly becoming one of **2025’s top-selling titles** behind *Monster Hunter Wilds* and *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. Players have also praised updates like the new **Glass Armor design**, which is seen as more realistic and visually striking.
Still, some controversial changes have caused disappointment, such as the **missing item subcategories** and a more cumbersome **local map system**. Fortunately, Bethesda and co-developer Virtuos appear open to feedback, actively seeking community suggestions through the game’s **official Discord**.
With more updates likely on the way, fans are hopeful that some of these changes—including the Fine Steel Claymore model—will be addressed in future patches.
