With The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered now available, millions of players are diving back into Bethesda's cherished open-world RPG. As fans rally around this beloved title, they're eager to share tips 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. Bethesda has made this clear, and as such, many of the original game's unique features and quirks remain intact. One such feature that has stirred both nostalgia and frustration is the game's level scaling system.
The original designer of Oblivion recently labeled the level scaling system a "mistake," yet it has been retained in the remastered version. This system means that the quality of loot you find is directly linked to your character's level at the time of discovery. Similarly, the enemies you encounter will spawn based on your current level.
This aspect of the game has prompted seasoned Oblivion players to offer fresh advice to newcomers, with much of it centered around Castle Kvatch.
