Oblivion Guide: Do Kvatch Quest First for Easier Play

With The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered now available, millions of players are rediscovering Bethesda's cherished open-world RPG. Longtime fans have united to share wisdom with newcomers who missed out on the original experience two decades ago.

Bethesda has clarified this release is a remaster, not a remake, preserving many original gameplay elements - including some controversial mechanics. One frequently debated feature is Oblivion's level scaling system.

The game's original lead designer recently admitted level scaling was a "mistake," yet this mechanic remains intact in the remastered version. This system ties loot quality to your character's level when obtaining it and scales enemy difficulty accordingly.

Veterans' Crucial Advice for New Players

This persisting scaling mechanic has prompted veteran players to issue important warnings, particularly regarding Castle Kvatch progression.
