Popular FPS streaming personality Michael "Shroud" recently encountered a massive bug while playing the recently released Remastered version of Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. The streamer had just begun his playthrough when he encountered a bug that caused the in-game enemy in front of him to be stuck in place.
Shroud took the opportunity to comment on Bethesda Softworks, the game studio behind the development of the Elder Scrolls series:
"Wait, all the mobs are stuck. Wait, they're stuck. Well. Hey, it's a Bethesda game! Am I right? (laughs)"
Shroud encounters bug in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered causing mobs to get stuck in place

Twitch streamer Shroud was trying out The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which was released on April 22, 2025. The remastered version features a visual overhaul of the 2006 classic and gives it a look more suited to the capabilities of modern-day hardware.
Despite this, the bugs seem inescapable, as Shroud seemingly encountered one that caused the mobs to not move until they were approached and in proximity to the player. After assuming that the mob was stuck entirely, Shroud attempted to walk up to it, only to get attacked.
Realizing the exact extent of the glitch, Shroud said:
"So, he's like actually stuck in place, but when you get close, he swings!"
Shroud is a well-known figure in the first-person shooter (FPS) gaming community, having been a professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player. Nowadays, however, he has shifted his focus to the recent third-person hero shooter, Marvel Rivals.
In fact, the streamer has started his own Marvel Rivals organization, called Shroud-X. The details of the organization have been announced as well, complete with a roster of players who will compete in professional tournaments.
