Many players diving into The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered have encountered a frustrating bug during the Battle for Castle Kvatch quest. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered launched to widespread excitement, but like many ambitious RPGs, it isn’t without its technical hiccups. Since its surprise release, players have reported various issues, some minor and others more disruptive.

While some bugs in Oblivion Remastered are merely amusing, others—like the save file deletion glitch—can be devastating. Among the less severe but still aggravating issues is the Kvatch bug, which halts progress during a critical main quest.

Players can unlock all achievements and trophies by completing every available quest in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered.

Early in Oblivion Remastered's main quest, players reach The Battle for Castle Kvatch. At a certain point, Savlian Matius endlessly repeats the line, "Charge the courtyard! Leave none of them standing!"—even after all enemies have been defeated. Fortunately, the solution is straightforward: proceed into the Great Hall, eliminate the remaining foes, and loot the Colovian Signet Ring from Ormellius Goldwine’s corpse. Once done, Matius should resume normal dialogue, allowing the quest to progress.

How to Fix the Kvatch Bug in Oblivion Remastered

1. Enter the Great Hall
2. Loot the Colovian Signet Ring from Ormellius Goldwine's body
3. Speak to Savlian Matius again to advance the quest

It’s uncertain whether Bethesda will patch this issue. While Oblivion Remastered boasts enhanced visuals and gameplay refinements, it retains several legacy bugs from the original. Critical problems like the Kvatch bug and save corruption may eventually be addressed, but for now, players must rely on workarounds.

Despite these issues, Oblivion Remastered has been warmly received by fans. The remaster’s unexpected release delighted both longtime enthusiasts and newcomers, earning praise for its modernized presentation. Many hope Bethesda will apply similar treatment to other classics, such as Fallout 3.
