So I was recently doing a fighters guild quest in Daggerfall (Glenumbra) and after I completed the first mission, I was sent to Wayrest (Stormhaven). When I got there I realized all of the NPCs and creatures were level 20 or above making them extremely hard to fight. I'm only a lvl 12 at the moment and had no idea that locations were leveled. Older TES games scaled to you normally.
Does this mean I have to stay in Glenumbra until lvl 20? It seems like the more you travel north from Daggerfall, the higher it gets. Sucks that I have to wait until level 30 or so to get to my homeland the Alik'r desert!
