By Azura! A New Mod Brings Collectible Adoring Fan Bobbleheads to Oblivion Remastered

In a delightful and somewhat bizarre crossover, an innovative modder has brought a classic feature from the Fallout series to the world of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. The mod, “Bobbleheads of Cyrodiil,” introduces 15 collectible Adoring Fan-themed skill bobbleheads, each offering a unique permanent perk to the player. The project is the work of modder TheJaceWindu and has been enthusiastically received by the community for its blend of humor, utility, and sheer absurdity.

The mod is a brilliant piece of fan service, leaning into the notoriety of Oblivion’s most divisive and memorable character—the Adoring Fan. The infamous wood elf, who relentlessly follows the Grand Champion, is now immortalized in collectible form. Each of the 15 bobbleheads is meticulously crafted to resemble a miniature, plastic version of the Adoring Fan, posed in a way that reflects the skill it represents.

A Fallout-Inspired Twist on a Classic RPG

The concept of skill-boosting collectibles is a staple of the Fallout games, and their integration into Oblivion Remastered feels surprisingly natural. The bobbleheads are not just decorative; they each provide a permanent passive perk linked to a specific skill, ranging from Heavy Armor to Speechcraft and Sneak. This adds a compelling new layer of exploration and reward to the already sprawling world of Cyrodiil, encouraging players to hunt for these hidden trinkets.

The ultimate reward for the diligent collector is the “Collector’s Perk,” which grants a significant bonus of +20 Luck and +100 Feather—a humorous nod to the fact that you’ll need a lot of carrying capacity to haul around your collection of tiny fans. The perks are permanent once the bobblehead is picked up, meaning players can then use the collectibles to decorate their homes or display them proudly without losing the benefit.

The Adoring Fan’s Unending Legacy

The Adoring Fan, with his iconic catchphrase “By Azura, by Azura, by Azura!”, has transcended his role as a mere NPC to become a cultural touchstone of the gaming world. He represents the hilarious, often-buggy, and utterly charming essence of classic Bethesda RPGs. This new mod capitalizes on that legacy, transforming a character known for being an annoyance into a valuable, if still slightly creepy, source of power.

The modding community for Oblivion Remastered continues to thrive, delivering new content and overhauls that demonstrate the enduring appeal of the 2006 classic. From atmospheric lighting overhauls to fully joinable Imperial Watch factions, modders are consistently pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the game. The “Bobbleheads of Cyrodiil” mod is another testament to this vibrant scene, proving that the heart of what made Oblivion a classic still beats strong, a sentiment that is no doubt echoed by the little blonde elf himself.
