This event generated discussions among fans and brought out the game's peculiarities, which continues to fascinate its players even after years of its original release.
What happened to the player in Oblivion Remastered?
The incident began with a player who unknowingly paralyzed for 66 years while playing the remastered version of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. The character's paralysis time surpassed the 2 billion second mark, something that the title fans could not ignore.
The situation was quickly shared in a Reddit post, where other players began to speculate on how such a feat could happen and, most importantly, how to prevent it from happening.
How did the magic involved caused this error?
The players soon realized that the secret to this was the use of "weakness to magic" spells. Apparently, the combination of reflected spells and the repeated use of weakness magic led to an exponential increase in the power of paralysis spell, which resulted in the player being immobilized for decades within the Cyrodiil universe.
When an NPC or invocation reflects the spell of weakness, it multiplies and paralysis creates a cycle that keeps the player indefinitely on the floor.

Players have sought unusual experiences within Oblivion Remastered before, and this event is just the latest. The game has always stood out for allowing an absurd freedom of exploitation and experimentation.
Many players, over the years, have devoted themselves to personalized challenges, such as keeping living guards during oblivion invasions or organizing books like domino pieces.
