With The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered now captivating millions of players, Bethesda's beloved open-world RPG is drawing both new and returning fans. As excitement builds, seasoned players are eager to share their insights with those who might have missed out on the original game's charm two decades ago.
It's important to note that Oblivion Remastered is a remaster, not a remake. Bethesda has made this clear, indicating that many of the original game's distinctive features—and quirks—remain intact. Among these is the often-discussed level scaling system, which has been a point of contention since the game's initial release. Despite the original designer labeling it a "mistake," this system persists in the remastered version. This means that the loot you find is directly influenced by your character's level at the time of discovery. Similarly, the enemies you encounter will scale to match your level.
This feature has prompted veteran players to offer strategic advice to newcomers, focusing particularly on Castle Kvatch.
