Solution Found for Kvatch Bug in Oblivion Remastered

The Kvatch bug in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is causing quite a stir among players. If you’re tackling this issue, you’ll need to head to the Great Hall, snag the Colovian Signet Ring, and have another chat with Savlian Matius to sort things out. While there’s hope this bug might get patched in a future update, nothing’s been confirmed yet.

Fans diving into The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered are discovering a rather pesky bug during the “Battle for Castle Kvatch” quest. This remastered version of Oblivion hit the shelves with a lot of excitement, but it’s not without its problems. Since its sudden release, players have stumbled upon various technical issues, some more troublesome than others.

Some glitches in Oblivion Remastered are more amusing than others, but a few are truly exasperating. Imagine having your save files disappear in a sprawling RPG like this—it’s a nightmare for any gamer. Even though not as grave, the Kvatch bug still leaves players scratching their heads as they try to progress through the main questline.

In the early stages of Oblivion Remastered’s main quest, you’ll find yourself in the thick of the “The Battle for Castle Kvatch.” At this point, Savlian Matius keeps yelling, “Charge the courtyard! Leave none of them standing!” even when all the enemies are down. If you’re panicking that this will halt your quest progress, relax—there’s an easy fix. Just head to the Great Hall after dealing with the courtyard foes, take down the enemies inside, loot the Colovian Signet Ring from Ormellius Goldwine’s body, and have another word with Matius to get things back on track. Be aware, though, that your experience might vary.

For those tackling the Kvatch bug, here’s your checklist: Visit the Great Hall, loot the Colovian Signet Ring from Ormellius Goldwine, then chat with Matius again. It’s still up in the air whether a future update for Oblivion Remastered will address this issue. While the remaster boasts enhanced graphics and several gameplay improvements, it also carries over many exploits and technical hiccups from the original. Whether more severe bugs, like the Kvatch issue or save deletions, will be addressed, is yet to be determined.

Despite these glitches, Oblivion Remastered is being warmly embraced by the Elder Scrolls fanbase. The unexpected launch was an instant sensation, earning high praise from both nostalgic veterans and newcomers. There’s a collective hope that other Bethesda classics, like Fallout 3, might also get a revival for today’s gaming systems.
