It hasn't taken long for modders to unify around Oblivion: Remastered. Despite the absence of official mod tools, the team from Skyrim Together has done it again, introducing a new "soapstone" mechanic that allows players to leave messages similar to Dark Souls and Death Stranding.

Ghosts of Tamriel, which released May 1, allows players to "Share wisdom in game with other players via interactable messages and pay respect to adventurers who sadly died". The mod requires an online connection to share messages, and operates by allowing you to type up messages, which appear in the world as floating blue stones.

Messages left behind will display your character's name, in addition to your message of choice. The blue lodestones that appear, while perhaps not an obvious choice for Oblivion, add a nice level of interactivity in the game world. Players can warn each other of deadly bosses, share observations about the game world, or simply bask in some friendly banter.

The mod uploader, yamashi, is notably known for his work on Skyrim Together Reborn and Skyrim Online, which allows players to experience the world online with friends. Skyrim Together has close to 2 million downloads on NexusMods, and the latest entry, inspired by a "passion for multiplayer mods", applies that passion to Bethesda's latest title.

While Ghosts of Tamriel is the first update from the team we've seen in a while, there's reportedly more in store. As the team stated, "[Ghosts of Tamriel] can hopefully keep you busy until our next announcement!" Whether it takes the form of Oblivion, Cyberpunk Online, or an update to Hogwarts Legacy multiplayer - we'll have to wait and see.
