Oblivion Remaster: Skip Kvatch Quest Early

With The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered now released, millions of players are rediscovering Bethesda's beloved open-world RPG. Longtime fans have begun sharing essential tips for newcomers who missed the original experience two decades ago.

Bethesda has clarified that this is a remaster rather than a complete remake, meaning many of the original game's peculiar design elements remain intact. Among these preserved features - which some might call frustrations - is Oblivion's controversial level scaling system.

The Level Scaling Debate Continues

One of Oblivion's original designers recently admitted the level scaling system was a "mistake," yet it persists in the remastered version. This system links acquired loot to your character's level when obtaining it, while enemy encounters dynamically adjust based on your progression.

This mechanic has prompted experienced players to issue fresh warnings, particularly concerning the pivotal Castle Kvatch sequence.
