For this game, I'm keeping the combat level on adept (I usually play on Novice because I play for story, not combat), so it actually requires some strategy and effort. I'm pretty bad at combat in games in general. Also, there will be no fast travel. Exploring the world gets cut down when using that feature, plus you discover less.
So yeah, Fiona will soon be well on her way to becoming the baddest girl Skyrim has ever seen.
