Oblivion Remastered: Dupe Glitch Returns After 20 Years!

This glitch, allowing players to duplicate almost any item, has been rediscovered and is once again a hot topic within the community.
A Blast From the Past
For those unfamiliar, the Dupe Item Glitch is a simple exploit that lets you create multiple copies of items. Imagine multiplying your supply of arrows, rare ingredients, or even valuable treasures. The process involves navigating through in-game menus and using a container, such as a barrel or crate, to perform the duplication. The result? An abundance of resources and the potential for immense wealth, provided you're willing to transport and sell the duplicated items.
Remaster or Remake?
The decision to include this glitch is a testament to the developers' approach to the remaster. Bethesda and Virtuos have emphasized that their goal was to preserve the essence of the original Oblivion experience. Some may argue whether the result is a remaster or remake, the inclusion of such glitches demonstrates a commitment to the game's legacy, warts and all.

The return of the Dupe Item Glitch has been met with enthusiasm. Social media platforms are filled with players sharing their experiences and creative uses for the glitch. From filling homes with watermelons to amassing fortunes, the community has embraced the glitch as a nostalgic and enjoyable part of the remastered experience.
