While I agree about leveling system sucking balls in Oblivion, I never found the Kvatch battle to be difficult at all and I think I never did it before level 40.
It was difficult to do it without getting the other people killed, but fighting was relatively easy for me. But yeah I've heard that the allies who fight on the battle have the same level regardless of yours (while enemies do level) so they probably help something when you are low level.
On my first play through they'd all die in a matter of seconds. On my next playthroughs I created some very powerful spells to use on them. One was something like: restore health 10 points + shield 50 + fortify endurance 25 + fortify blade skill 25, all for 30 seconds. And I was constantly casting this on every ally, then rushing and killing the enemies with my super enchanted weapons.
I sat back and watched the fight. I am not sure who or how many people died. I was maxed level and everyone seemed to be holding there on. I did have 1 member of every group I was apart of following me, 1 storm Athernach I summoned, and the creepy minion dude from the dark lair. Seriously, you would think the guys from the Fighter's Guild, or Knight of the Nine, or Mage's Guild would questing a undead monster and member of The Hand calling me master. Oh well.
While my entourage was having fun, I just waited for the big gate, cast something to triple my speed and agility for a a short time, blazed through without stopping to fight, and grab the great stone before the drill even got off the bridge. Why fight wars with game programming will kill entire armies for advancing the plot.
P.S. If you try this, bring the highest ranked members of each faction. They scale to higher levels and are "essential" characters so they don't die. And loading will be a little sketchy once 4 or 5 people are following you.
