With the release of *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered*, millions of players are diving back into Bethesda's beloved open-world RPG. As fans reunite, they're eager to share tips with newcomers who might have missed out on the original game 20 years ago.
Bethesda has clarified that *Oblivion Remastered* is indeed a remaster, not a remake, preserving many of the original's unique features—and quirks. One such feature, often cited as a frustration, is the game's level scaling system. The game's original designer recently labeled this system a "mistake," yet it remains in the remastered version. This means that the loot you find is directly linked to your character's level at the time of discovery, and enemies spawn based on your current level.
This aspect of the game has prompted seasoned *Oblivion* players to offer advice, particularly focusing on Castle Kvatch. Their guidance is crucial for new players to navigate the challenges posed by the level scaling system effectively.
