In the realm of Oblivion Remastered, there's a hidden treat for players who take the time to explore the console commands. This hidden gem is none other than an easter egg that pays homage to a classic meme from the early 2010s, known as the "Potion Seller" by Justin Kuritzkes. If you're new to this viral video, brace yourself for a blast from the past!
You probably know Kuritzkes as the scriptwriter for recent films like Challengers and Queer, but back in 2011, he made waves with a simple, amusing video where he acted out a conversation between a knight and a peculiar potion seller. If you haven't seen it yet, take a peek at this meme-tastic masterpiece.
Believe it or not, Oblivion Remastered has a surprising connection to this beloved video. Twitch streamer TerraGuildTV discovered an intriguing console command that directly references the Potion Seller meme: . If that isn't a bold enough wink to the meme, the description also includes a quote straight from the video: "Powers the player up with the means of defeating the Romans coming to conquer the last free village of Gaul. 'Have you heard of my potions? ...My potions are too strong for you, traveler.'"
So, what does this command do? Well, TerraGuildTV demonstrated that it supercharges your unarmed attack, turning your fists into lethal weapons capable of blasting any nearby NPCs high into the sky in a single punch, effectively instantly killing them[2][3][4]! Though I'm currently busy chasing achievements, I can't wait to unleash some havoc using this command in my impending troll playthrough!
