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

Authore: LillianUpdate:May 03,2025

With The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered now available, millions of players are once again diving into Bethesda's beloved open-world role-playing game. As fans reunite, they're eager to share advice with newcomers, particularly those who missed out on the original experience two decades ago.

Bethesda has clarified that Oblivion Remastered is a remaster, not a remake, which means it retains many of the original game's quirks, including its controversial level scaling system. This system, which the game's original designer recently labeled a "mistake," remains intact in the remastered version. As a result, the quality of loot you find is directly tied to your character's level when you acquire it, and enemies spawn according to your level as well.

This level scaling system has reignited discussions among Oblivion veterans, who are now offering crucial tips to newcomers, especially concerning Castle Kvatch.
