Oblivion Remastered Player Sees the Battle of Kvatch End in Tragedy
“Breaking the Siege of Kvatch” and “The Battle for Castle Kvatch” are some of the most notorious quests inOblivion Remastered, as gamers often get frustrated during the events of the Battle of Kvatch for many different reasons, including being underpowered against enemies, or struggling to face the world of Oblivion for the first time. Back when the game was released,Oblivion Remastered’s “The Battle for Castle Kvatch” was bugged, and players could not make the NPCs respond even after killing all enemies. The issue has already been solved, but it has continued the tradition of this quest giving players a hard time.
Multiple reports also show gamersstruggling in Kvatch after ignoringOblivion Remastered’s main quest for too long. Due to how leveling works inOblivion Remastered, it’s possible to be swarmed with difficult enemies during the Kvatch quest if gamers are over-leveled. However, this issue was even more prominent in the original release, and the remaster helped by streamlining the level-up process.
This tragedy in the Battle of Kvatch is not the only sad story gamers have shared lately regarding failing to save people in Bethesda’s RPG. Earlier this month, for example,gamers attempted to save the Emperor inOblivion Remastered, killing dozens of assassins, only to still fail, as the death of Uriel Septim is a scripted event that happens in the first hours of the game. Hopefully, others will continue to share amazing or tragic stories of their adventures in Cyrodiil.
