The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered reimagines one of Bethesda's most iconic games with stunning new visuals, enhanced gameplay mechanics, and more. Yet, the team at Virtuos has kept one of the original game's most memorable quirks intact: the legendary voice line from Master Speechcraft trainer Tandilwe.
Veteran fans of The Elder Scrolls series will fondly remember Tandilwe, a High Elf found in the Temple of the One in the Imperial City. When Oblivion first launched on PC and Xbox 360 over 19 years ago, it became evident that Tandilwe herself could benefit from some speech training. Her infamous voice line, believed to be a mistakenly included recording of actress Linda Kenyon attempting the line again, has become a cherished blooper among the community.
