Oblivion Remastered: Do Kvatch Quest Early, Warns Players

With The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered now available, millions of players are diving back into Bethesda's beloved open-world RPG. As fans rally to share their insights, they're particularly keen to guide newcomers who might have missed the original release two decades ago.

Bethesda has made it clear that Oblivion Remastered is a remaster, not a remake, preserving many of the original game's unique characteristics, including its controversial level scaling system. This system, which the game's original designer recently labeled a "mistake," remains intact in the remastered version. It 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 specific advice to new players, focusing particularly on Castle Kvatch.
