We all remember the Adoring Fan from The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. He was ? let's not mince words here ? a monstrously irritating NPC, and now someone taken that monstrosity and actualized it in physical form.
Over on Nexus Mods, user theocddragon (https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/53268?tab=description) simply asks "good heavens what have I done" with a modification for Oblivion that turns everyone's favorite Wood Elf to hate into an unholy sight. Seriously, it's like if the Adoring Fan was rejected from Tim Burton's Beetlejuice for being too odd.

Editing the character model, the modder has reconstructing the NPC's face using a dragging tool that has resulted in the severely morphed image of this once annoying?though wholly innocent?citizen of Cyrodiil.
Kill it with three firesDescribing it as an "eldritch abomination with one singular eye," theocddragon has unleashed a nightmare unto the Oblivion community and those who witness it. They even question why someone would be able to wield such power in editing software.
It kind of reminds me of the pre-menu screen in Super Mario 64, in which ? perhaps in a bid to show the power of the N64 console ? you could stretch and morph Mario's face (https://youtu.be/hk7egiraIqA). It, too, produced some horrifying images that are not of this world.
That aside, it does show just how beloved Oblivion in the community, even after 17 years. The Bethesda RPG has definitely aged as time has gone by, but that's where Skyblivion (https://www.destructoid.com/skyblivion-is-looking-stupendous-in-this-latest-progress-video/) comes into the picture.
This is a fan-made project that will be a complete remake of TES4 done in Skyrim's engine. As such, we'll get a much prettier (though perhaps not visually up-to-date) version of Oblivion. Let's just hope the Adoring Fan will not be the facial atrocity he is in theocddrago's mod.
