And, on top of all of that, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is bringing back its infamous horse armor (and it’s been updated.) Why infamous you ask? Well, it’s because in 2006, horse armor cost you $2.50 to purchase. And that caused quite an uproar in a gaming community that had never paid extra for anything in their lives. In the gaming world, “Horse Armor” became short-hand for an overpriced DLC that contained nothing of note. Oops. In today’s world, we’re much more used to paying for DLC, so folks probably won’t blink at needing at $9.99 to their total to purchase the Deluxe version of the game (which will bring you horse armor and other fun extras.) But hey, we love to see Bethesda embracing the joke in a different kind of world. We guess the joke was really on us.
