The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Players Are Warning Newcomers to Do That Kvatch Quest Before the Level Scaling Makes It an Absolute Nightmare

With the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, millions of players are diving back into Bethesda's beloved open-world RPG. As fans rally around this updated version, they're eager to share tips with those who might have missed the original experience two decades ago.

It's important to note that Oblivion Remastered is a remaster, not a remake. Bethesda has made this clear, and as such, many of the original game's quirks remain intact. One such quirk, often cited as a frustration, is the game's level scaling system.

The original designer of Oblivion recently labeled the level scaling as a "mistake," yet it persists in the remastered version. This system means that the loot you find is directly tied to your character's level at the time of acquisition. Similarly, the enemies you encounter will scale to match your level.

This aspect of the game has prompted seasoned Oblivion players to offer advice to newcomers, particularly focusing on Castle Kvatch.
