So what you're saying is that i'm right and it's just a few whiny faggots who 'hate scaling' but buy the game 17 different times anyways because they hate it so much?
No, I'm saying that you're a cunty contrarian that posts shit like this in every thread you drop into.

Scaling was always shit. Didn't mean the game was overall bad but that was one of its most glaring issues. Hence why 20 years later we immediately remove it with mods.
"we" being a few people who didn't like it, which is exactly what I said. I doubt the vast majority who are buying the game is downloading 3085830 mods.

Ah yes, i'm a cunt for pointing out that maybe most people don't share your opinion on something.

Its one mod but ok.

Scaling was bad and a big complaint about the game. It was removed in Skyrim. Because there was little good feedback on it.

All this talk about scaling is killing my desire to play :( I just want to get stronger and return to stronger foes and kick their asses. Gear, levels, etc., everything else is secondary.

I vaguely remember playing vanilla Oblivion at launch and agree that the original enemy scaling completely ruined any feeling of danger or growing stronger. How has that been addressed in this remaster, or is it the same? I see a lot of comments about how awful the scaling was/is(?) but can’t tell if that’s for vanilla or the remaster. Also, I assume no mods on ps5? If the scaling is still wonky and quest rewards don’t level up with our character, I might have to think harder about ps5 vs pc purchase.

If you have 5 min you can check this:

To summarize, level scaling feels 1:1 with vanilla but the level-up gain attribute system changed a bit.
You should be fine with normal mode, but higher difficulties will remind you the great time of hitting enemies with huge hp bar...

Of course, there is mods on... pc. (for the remaster)

Remaster is slightly better in that you don't need to grind minor skills so that you can maximize your stat gains to keep up with the enemy leveling curve like you did in the original game, but the enemies and items you get still scale in the remaster.

There are no mods on PS5 as of right now; it's possible that Beth may create a Creation Club that you'll need to pay for, but if the scaling bugs you, definitely go with the PC (preferably Steam) version.

Oblivion being great, despite shitty scaling is the vast majority opinion.
