Remastering a game the size of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is no small task, so it’s probably not surprising that some small details get lost in the process, but players have spotted one bungled texture that ruins an entire running joke.

As spotted on the

, the sign for Lelles’ Quality Merchandise in Anvil no longer sports its signature hasty spelling correction. In the original game, the sign misspells the shop’s name as “Lelles’ Quality Mercandise,” and has the missing “h” haphazardly balancing above its spot in the word. In the remaster? The added “h” is nowhere to be seen.

While the error is incredibly minor in the scheme of things, the small detail is a part of store owner Norbert Lelles’ character, with his lack of smarts being pointed out by other NPCs, and only becoming more obvious in a quest where the player-character is asked to protect his store from robbers. The sign and its hasty correction are even referenced in various NPC dialogues around Anvil.

The Oblivion remaster was contracted out to Virtuos, rather than handled in-house at Bethesda, and for the most part the company stayed surprisingly true to the original game–charming jank and all. Other Easter eggs have been spotted intact, while other aspects of the game have been changed from the original, though often for the better.

Bethesda has reached out to the community for help in improving Oblivion Remastered post-release, and fans certainly haven’t been shy with their suggestions for the re-release–though the game is still yet to receive any post-release patches.
