But now someone who actually worked on the original 20 years ago has declared a winner. Jeff Gardiner worked at Bethesda Game Studios for a whopping 16 years, starting with Oblivion before becoming lead producer of all its various pieces of DLC.

You can imagine some of the faces the team built, but, in Gardiner's opinion, there's one recently made in Oblivion Remastered that would have won all those years ago. The nightmarish face in question was created by YouTuber and NASCAR/ARCA driver Cody Dennison, aka CAMELOT331. In a tweet, CAMELOT331 described his creation as “my magnum opus,” and named him 'Sir Vancealot.' Obviously, Sir Vancealot leans into the JD Vance meme, which revolves around horrifying pictures of a bloated Vice President of the United States. CAMELOT331’s tweet showcasing Sir Vancealot has been viewed an incredible 2.1 million times, so he may well be the most famous Oblivion Remastered character creation yet. Gardiner’s stamp of approval will no doubt help, too. Of course, Gardiner’s tweet has sparked a flood of similarly outlandish character creator faces in the replies, some of which are just as troublesome as Sir Vancealot.
