I guess what I'm doing is trying to get up to the point where I feel strong enough tackle some of the quests I gave up on because they were too hard, and to finish the main quest. I'd tackle the hard quests, but it's so boring being killed over and over again. I miss Lydia who vanished during a quest.
I've killed a few Foresworn but couldn't get a heart from any of them. I hate killing them gratuitously because I feel sorry for them, but they're so fierce.
My only achievements in the last three hours of play have been, one dragon killed, four new sites added to my map, a few ingredients, and the finding Atronauch stone.
What do you do when you get in this sort of situation?
