Oblivion Remastered Players Warn Newcomers: Tackle Kvatch Quest Early to Avoid Nightmare Difficulty

With the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, millions of players are once again diving into Bethesda's beloved open-world role-playing game. The remastered version has brought together the game's dedicated fanbase, eager to share their wisdom with those who might have missed out on the original experience two decades ago.

It's important to note that Oblivion Remastered is a remaster, not a remake, as emphasized by Bethesda. This means that many of the original game's quirks, or frustrations, remain intact. One such feature is the controversial level scaling system. The game's original designer has recently labeled this system a "mistake," yet it persists in the remastered version. This system means that the quality of 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 a pivotal location: Castle Kvatch. The advice centers on how to navigate the challenges posed by the level scaling system effectively at this crucial point in the game.
