@ Gyson;
Please actually play a game with levelscaling. Did I mention Oblivion? I think I did. Play it.
And if you return saying it's still a good thing and not bland, well... I will be dumbfounded...
Ew, yeah, even as a big fan of Oblivion, the scaling made gameplay really very dull. Which was a pity because the game engine offered so much more; it's fortunate that there were numerous overhauls available to fix it and make it a much more interesting place to be, but a shame it wasn't like that from the outset.
Though I guess it serves as a warning since it was in some ways a product of players of previous games insisting, "actually,
this is how it should be done!" Bethesda listened, and that was the result...
