With the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, millions of players are diving back into Bethesda's cherished open-world role-playing game. For those who missed out on the original experience 20 years ago, the game's dedicated fanbase is coming together to share valuable advice. It's important to note that Oblivion Remastered is a remaster, not a remake, meaning many of the original game's quirks, including its controversial level scaling system, remain intact.
The game's original designer has openly criticized the level scaling system as a "mistake," yet it persists in the remastered version. This system means that the loot you acquire and the enemies you encounter are directly tied to your character's level at the time of acquisition or encounter. This can lead to both unique challenges and frustrations for players.
One particular aspect of the level scaling system that has sparked renewed advice from seasoned players is the experience around Castle Kvatch. Veterans of Oblivion are offering guidance to newcomers on how to navigate this pivotal part of the game effectively, given the level scaling dynamics.
