28.06, 1:00 PM: Well met. It is 2025, and I have set foot in Tamriel for the first time. A dying empire in a long-forgotten era, and an obsolete videogame in an increasingly RPG-fied world. I am armed with a steel sword and an open mind. They say, "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered" has vastly improved on the 2006 title. I wonder if that's actually true. I encountered my first rat enemy five minutes into the game, and killing it, sent it zooming around the whole cave, like a bug (get it?).
