Armor bug?

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 12:46 pm

So I have been dying more times in this game than I did in Demon Souls or Dark Souls which is really weird considering Morrowind and Oblivion are both ridiculously easy. So while running through a certain dungeon and dying about 10 times already I finally thought WTF there is no way I svck this much at this game or that its supposed to be this hard something is wrong here. I am level 42 with full dragon armor upgraded to legendary, I decided screw it I am going to remove all my armor and see how much damage the enemies do to me it doesn't seem to be doing anything anyways. Guess what after running through naked I found out that the enemies do the EXACT SAME amount of damage to me naked that they do to me with my full set of armor on, turns out I have been playing the game for 42 hours essentially naked and the only thing that even works on my armor is the enchants, oh that's great I can throw magic resist on all my gear so mages wont own me but I still get instantly killed by anything physical, worse yet I have no idea to fix it or if starting a new game, which I do not want to do, will even work.....with all the bugs in this game I am thinking about putting it on the shelf for a year till they fix some of it, if they even do that is.

I lied, I retested it with full health on a frost troll and my full set of legendary dragon armor does indeed reduce the damage I take, unfortunately it is by such a small amount that it seems that wearing armor at all ,especially heavy armor, is just about useless. Maybe I will restart the game and try playing as a mage at least then I will be able to enter towns without lagging...for a while at least. I am still pretty sure Bethesda did little testing on the difficulty, I doubt I am supposed to get killed in 3-5 hits by normal enemies in dungeons making it so if I run into a group of more than 2 at a time it is very hard to kill them.

Out of curiosity, what difficulty are you playing on?

I only have it on the starting difficulty adept. I should mention that some dungeons I enter are incredibly easy through the whole thing but some I go into like I said seem almost impossible. I am pretty sure something buggy is going on since some dungeons will be incredibly easy, ill run through killing everything easily and then in the same dungeon I will sometimes run into a mob with the same name as one I just slaughtered but this one will be 20 times stronger. Same with dragons they used to be easy then all of a sudden it became random some are hard some are easy, the hard dragons use the execution kill where they eat you on me when I have half my health left and I have been putting most of my levels into health, melee just seems to svck in Skyrim it seems going caster or archer would be way better.
