  "account": "An entertaining promotional video has been released for Bethesda's upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 release of Oblivion Remastered, featuring veteran voice actor Wes Johnson reprising his iconic role as Sheogorath. Dressed in character and operating in a sound booth, the Prince of Madness appears to be having a great time recording lines, as an exasperated audio technician attempts to remedy his increasingly befuddled state. While the video's marketing fluff is endearing, many users of the PC version have expressed disappointment with the game's technical issues, with performance hitches and an abundance of bugs plaguing the experience. Some of these bugs have persisted since the original release of Oblivion in 2006, while others are entirely new. Unfortunately, Bethesda and Virtuos seem to have abandoned the PC version, as the last patch update came over a year ago. Despite these concerns, the game maintains a Mostly Positive rating on Steam, and users hope that the Switch 2 launch will bring some much-needed PC TLC.",
