With *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered* now available, millions of fans are diving back into Bethesda's beloved open-world RPG, while newcomers are discovering its charm for the first time. As excitement builds, seasoned players are eager to share their insights, particularly for those who might have missed out on the original game released two decades ago.
It's important to note that *Oblivion Remastered* is a remaster, not a remake, according to Bethesda. This means that many of the original game's quirks, including its often-debated level scaling system, remain intact. The game's original designer has even called this system a "mistake," yet it persists in the remastered version. This system links the quality of loot to your character's level at the time of acquisition, and enemies scale to match your level as well.
The level scaling of enemies has particularly caught the attention of *Oblivion* veterans, prompting a wave of advice centered around Castle Kvatch. Here's where seasoned players are offering their wisdom to help newcomers navigate this aspect of the game.
