Fixed the following Gameplay issues:

  • Random items would be equipped if the player cast the Blessing of Talos spell during the “Umaril the Unfeathered” quest.
  • Moving in shallow water while under the Water Walking effect would cause the player’s character to jitter.
  • The player could escape out of world at the Temple of the One during the “Imperial Dragon Armor” quest.
  • Improved depletion of the player breath bar while underwater during loading screens.

Fixed the following Visuals issues:

  • The Lucky Old Lady statue in Bravil was missing animations during the “Honor Thy Mother” quest.

In our Switch 2 review of this title, we called it a “solid update of an all-time classic RPG”, despite some issues with the target fps.

“This is without a doubt one of the best RPGs of all time and the remaster gives the same old game a brand-new look. With the main quest and all additional content, it’s huge value for money and well worth experiencing for the first time or revisiting if you’ve walked through this flaming gate before.”
