People actually complain about being OP? : V - Skyrim

Playing a chick with an Iron Sword and only that for fighting. No potions. Master. Blew through Embershard Mine no probs.

Killed Mirmulnir damn easy too. Only wearing Fur stuff.

Kinda sad TBH.

Being OP just gets old quick, I like to make them respectable, but realistic. My mage can do some damage, bows are his weakness. I like that. It makes me play smart, which boosts the characters playability far more than certain knowledge that I will come out of anything with barely a scratch. If I put some thought into what I'm about to do, and plan for certain possibilities, I might just pull this off. If get cocky and pull a Rambo, I could really get my butt kicked. Thats the challenge that if my characters don't have, I can't keep playing them.

SO you're telling me Skyrim players can't avoid being OP if they wish? :lmao:

I think there is definitely some issue with the crafting trees : well alchemy is pretty much ok, nothing too fancy about it. But smithing : if you want a dragonborn armor, you need to master smithing and you can't choose to only upgrade your ebony axe 1 or 2 levels up. But the worst (for me) is enchanting : I think it's pretty much useless (compared to what you can find) until you have +25% on skill perk. That require lvl 50, and until then I never enchant anyting, well only to train the skill. Then the second useful perk, to have 2 enchantments on your stuff, you need lvl 100. That's really sad IMO.

I personally love to roleplay in RPG's, but the speed in which the character can get overpowered in this game makes it difficult for me to convincingly build the story of my character.

That is also my problem.

2 gens ago, you had to make a risky jump on a small bird's head to bounce to the opposite platform. Nowadays, an on screen pop up will instruct you to jump on an oversized bird's head and tap X twice to 'bird bounce' over to the next platform. When you perfect the 'bird' bounce', you are awarded an trophy / achievement.

It's funny because it's true.

But on topic, in Skyrim, and all BGS' games, you get overpowered too early without trying. But that, like poor writing, is just part of how they make their games; to be expected. Therefore i don't bother complaining about it, i just use mods for that :hehe:

That's the beauty of Bethesda games. I say Bethesda instead of TES because I'm including Fallout3 in this. You can make your characters anyway you want. My first Skyrim character got boring because she put too much work into smithing. Now my second character doesn't do any smithing and the game is absolutely perfect.
I love how you can choose to make your character as strong or as weak as you want.
