How do some of you play on Master Difficulty? I was on the Jurgen Windcaller quest fighting undead so I turned up the difficulty to Master (undead are always easy no matter what) and forgot to switch it off. Next thing I know, I'm on my way to High Hrothgar when a bandit ambushes and kills me in 2 hits.

So how the heck would you have dealt with that? What about Dragons!?

Maybe it's the class you're playing?

It depends on your build and how early you get certain perks. For instance, on pretty much any difficulty, trolls [censored] your day up as a warrior below level 15 or so. Especially on master. But if you get certain perks like the slow time perk for block, it helps a TON. And the earlier you get perks like that, the better.
