About Levelscaling. I like it if its done good. Like in a heavily modded oblivion. You will have your areas with easy lows and some with to strong highs, but some sacling is there like goblin goes between 5 and 10. So from level 5-10 hes with you, afterwards you outmatch them.
That has the great benefit of giving a sense of progression. Your Levelups mean something, you char gets stronger. All the while the original Oblivion scaling was so bad it was even the other way around, that the higher level your char was, the longer and more dangerous the fights against even "weak" creatures became. The same creatures you two-hittet 10 levels earlier.
So... obviously no need for Steam in that regard too :D

I explained it, they argued for free exploration, not having to fight weak and therefor annoying enemies, not finding too strong loot and not meeting impossible enemies. Oblivion does all those things perfectly. So why don't they like it? Either their arguments are BS, or they dislike level scaling almost as much as me.

Just another question,
in Daggerfall you could run around naked.

Did they pixelate that or does the Box feature a "Mature" rating because of our utmost inhibited society these days?

Skyrim and Oblivion already had M ratings, so the collection's overall rating would be M either way, but it would certainly be possible for Bethesda to ship the game pre-installed in ChildGard mode if they chose to do so (or had to do so to avoid a higher rating).

At least they can fix the software bugs and not all the hardware issues.
I know there are unofficial patches that fix 99% of all the quest/game bugs, thank god for fans.
^smart move by Bethesda though, don't work nor pay people to play test your game, release it early with a ton of glitches and bugs... with the game modible so users can fix your game for you!
