How to Change the Time in Oblivion Remastered

by

In “Oblivion Remastered,” players are immersed in a sprawling universe, granting them ample freedom to investigate it at their own pace without any limitations. Once you complete the initial tutorial level and emerge from the imperial city’s sewers, you’ll be plunged headfirst into the world, where you must decide on your own which paths to follow.

As a gamer immersed in the sprawling world of Oblivion Remastered, I’ve come across an intriguing aspect that isn’t explicitly spelled out: the time and day-night cycles. Some quests within this game are time-bound, meaning they can only be activated at certain hours. Similarly, there are tasks that players can execute exclusively during specific times. Time seems to move rather slowly in this world, making it a drag when you’re waiting for it to advance naturally. That’s where the knack of manipulating time comes in handy. If you’re one of those who want to speed things up or slow them down as per your convenience, here’s how I managed to alter the time in Oblivion Remastered.

Can You Change the Time in Oblivion Remastered?

Indeed, you have the ability to adjust the time within “Oblivion Remastered.” Much like in “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim,” this game allows for a convenient feature that some might refer to as a quality of life improvement. The method of manipulating the in-game time is quite similar between these two titles, but there may be instances where players find it difficult to make accurate adjustments to the game clock.

In the game, you may find various instances where adjusting the time could be beneficial. Some missions require precise timing for them to function correctly, while shops refresh their inventory after three days and open only during certain hours. Moreover, Heaven Stones can only be activated during nighttime, but remember that each Heaven Stone has its own Renown requirement as well.

How to Pass the Time in Oblivion Remastered

In the game Oblivion Remastered, there are four distinct methods to fill your leisure hours, but some activities are more engaging compared to others.

  • Wait: To wait, simply press T (default key for PC) anywhere in the game. As long as there are no enemies nearby, a menu will pop up, giving you the option to choose how long you want to wait. Simply check the current time and wait for the appropriate number of hours to reach your desired time.
  • Sleep: Interacting with a bed or bedroll will give the player the option to sleep for a specific duration, passing the time in the process. There are two places you can sleep in the game: Inns and NPC camps. Camps will contain bedrolls and are free, while Inns cost 20 gold per night and can be found in cities and villages. The benefit of sleeping in Oblivion Remastered is that it will let you level up, heal ailments, and restore all your health, stamina, and magicka.
  • Fast Travel: Interestingly, utilizing the Fast Travel feature will also pass the time. The longer the distance you travel, the more time will pass.
  • Console Commands: You can use the console command “settimescaleto [#]” to increase or decrease the rate at which time passes in the world.

Users have mentioned that the wait function sometimes malfunctions during specific missions like the Paranoia Quest in Skingrad and the commencement of the Thieves Guild storyline. This issue is usually caused by an NPC trying to interact with you at a particular moment, which triggers a bug. To fix it, engage in conversation with the appropriate NPC.
