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

by Hunter May 18,2025

With the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda's iconic open-world RPG has attracted millions of players, both new and returning. As fans celebrate this updated version, they're eager to share tips with those who might have missed out on the original experience from 20 years ago.

It's important to note that Oblivion Remastered is a remaster, not a remake. Bethesda has kept many of the original game's design elements, including some that have been labeled as quirks or even frustrations by the community. One such element is the game's level scaling system.

The original designer of Oblivion recently admitted that the level scaling was a "mistake," yet it remains in the remastered version. This system 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 experienced players to offer a crucial piece of advice to newcomers, centered around Castle Kvatch.
