Oblivion Remastered Players Warn Newcomers: Tackle Kvatch Quest Early to Avoid Nightmare Difficulty

With the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda's beloved open-world role-playing game has captured the attention of millions of players once again. As fans reunite to share their experiences, they are also offering valuable advice to newcomers who may have missed out on the original game released 20 years ago.

It's important to note that Oblivion Remastered is a remaster, not a remake. Bethesda has made it clear that many of the original game's quirks are still present. One of the most discussed elements is the game's level scaling system, which has been a point of contention since the game's initial release. The original designer of Oblivion even referred to the level scaling as a "mistake," yet it remains unchanged in the remastered version. This system means that the loot you find is directly tied to your character's level at the time of acquisition. Moreover, enemies will spawn based on your current level, which can significantly impact your gameplay experience.

This aspect of the game has prompted seasoned Oblivion players to offer specific advice to newcomers, focusing particularly on Castle Kvatch.
