Amid the heightened interest in all things The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion brought on by Bethesda’s popular remaster, its original designer has admitted the game's level scaling system was a “mistake.” Oblivion’s level scaling system is perhaps one of the most frustrating aspects of the 20-year-old open-world role-playing game.

The release of Oblivion Remastered is having a knock on effect of increased player counts in other Bethesda games.

The remaster caught fans by surprise with a great graphical update, QoL updates, cheeky nods to iconic things, and even a little new content.
