Oblivion Remastered: Do Kvatch Quest Early, Warn Veterans

With the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda's cherished open-world RPG is once again captivating millions of players. As fans rally to share their wisdom, they aim to guide newcomers who may have missed out on 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 a result, 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 game's original designer 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 linked to your character's level at the time of acquisition. Similarly, the enemies you encounter will scale according to your level.

This feature has reignited discussions among Oblivion veterans, prompting them to offer advice to new players, particularly regarding Castle Kvatch.
