The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered fans have noticed Brain Rot is also a thing in the game, and they can’t stop laughing about it.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered was truly ahead of its time as players could contract Brain Rot. No, you don’t contract it by watching TikTok reels or YouTube shorts in the game. But, it sure did affect you quite a lot, if you were thinking that at first.

The internet is completely riddled with brain-dead content, which, for some reason, is being consumed a lot. That’s why Oblivion fans hysterically laugh about it, as it’s an actual effect in the game. So flush your Skibidi Toilet, as we’re gonna talk about Brain Rot (in Oblivion Remastered).

Wait, Brain Rot is a thing in Oblivion Remastered? What the skibidi!

Yes, Brain Rot is actually a thing in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered if you haven’t paid attention before. In the game, it is a contagious disease that can be caught from rats or Nigidius the Needy while fighting them. It might not be as contagious as low-grade memes, but it is a threat in-game.

What does it do if it doesn’t fill the character’s brain with addictive, low-quality content from the internet? In The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, the disease causes players to lose five strength points from their attribute. So, no, it doesn’t affect players to lose their minds.

But there is some good news, it is curable! All players have to do is pray at an Alter of the Nine. Alternatively, players can also use potions, spells, and scrolls that have the Cure Disease magic effect. Wish that existed in real life, as some folks on the internet require it more than ever. Praying to Jesus can be an option.

The fact that fans are noticing this now is surprising, as it has existed in the game for a long time. Additionally, the disease can be contracted in TES5: Skyrim as well, which still has a huge community. Maybe, the term crossed their mind as it wasn’t a commonly used word, until recently.

Oblivion Remastered fans are going wild after knowing about the disease in the game

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has garnered a huge fanbase despite being a revamped release of the game. Additionally, since it was released in the modern era of the internet, fans can freely discuss things on platforms like Reddit. Which is why Brain Rot became a topic of discussion, despite being a puny status effect.

Fans are mostly making fun of people affected by low-quality content on the internet, as they use words that don’t make sense. However, the fanbase has used words like rizz, skibidi, and more to make witty jokes about them.

For instance, fans are saying that an Argonian with maxed-out personality stats and charm spells can be called “Rizzard.” Some folks are also joking by saying that the disease can be contracted by being around young people in the game. Well, in reality, it is younger people who are affected by the low-grade content the most…

While everyone is messing around, one of the users pointed out a fun fact (thanks to CthughaSlayer). The term “brain rot” was invented in 1854 by Henry David Thoreau, which basically defines societal decline. The term can’t be more apt in the modern era, making it timeless thanks to folks on the internet.
