With *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered* now available, millions of players are diving back into Bethesda’s beloved open-world RPG. Longtime fans are sharing valuable tips with newcomers who may have missed the original release two decades ago.
It's important to note that *Oblivion Remastered* is a visual enhancement rather than a full remake. As such, many of the game’s original design elements remain intact — including one of its most debated mechanics: the level scaling system.
Todd Howard has previously referred to this feature as a “mistake,” yet it remains unchanged in the remastered version. This means that loot you collect is scaled to your character’s level at the time of acquisition. The same goes for enemy spawns, which adjust dynamically based on your progression.
This particular mechanic has prompted a wave of advice from seasoned players, especially when it comes to tackling key locations like Castle Kvatch. Timing your visit and managing your level carefully can make all the difference between an enjoyable experience and a frustrating one.
So if you're stepping into Tamriel for the first time or returning after years away, consider taking a moment to understand how level scaling affects your journey before charging headfirst into the heart of the Empire.
