With the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, millions of players are once again diving into Bethesda's beloved open-world RPG. As fans celebrate this re-release, the community is eager to share valuable tips with those who missed out on the original experience two decades ago.
It's important to note that Oblivion Remastered is a remaster, not a remake. As such, many of the original game's quirks, including its controversial level scaling system, have been retained. This system, which the game's original designer recently admitted was a "mistake," adjusts the quality of loot and the strength of enemies based on your character's level at the time of encounter. Despite its acknowledged flaws, this feature remains unchanged in the remastered version.
The level scaling system, particularly how it affects enemy spawning, has prompted seasoned players to offer new advice to beginners, centered around Castle Kvatch. This location is critical for understanding how to navigate the game's mechanics effectively.
