With the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, millions of players are diving back into Bethesda's beloved open-world role-playing game. As fans reunite to share their experiences, they're also offering guidance to newcomers who may have missed out on the original game's magic from two decades ago.
It's important to note that Oblivion Remastered is a remaster, not a remake, as Bethesda has emphasized. This means that many of the original game's unique features—and some might say, quirks—have been preserved. One such feature is the level scaling system, which has been a point of contention among players.
The original designer of Oblivion has openly admitted that the level scaling system was a "mistake," yet it remains in the remastered version. This system ensures that the loot you find is directly tied to your character's level at the time of acquisition. Moreover, the enemies you encounter will scale according to your level, which can significantly impact your gameplay experience.
This aspect of the game has prompted seasoned Oblivion players to share crucial advice with newcomers, focusing particularly on Castle Kvatch. The advice centers around how to navigate the level scaling system to maximize your gaming experience.
