I would be interested to know what play style difficulty level weapons and armour you guys find the most enjoyable. My currant character is as follows

Difficulty Level
Expert

Armour
Heavy no smith perks used and only improved once to fine.

Weapon
Two handed improved to fine.

Magic.
No magic used with the exception of alchemy and restoration.

Alchemy
I have a self imposed rule of no potions or poisons to be used during combat. The exception would be hiding behind something and applying poison to a bow when in an archery duel.


I find this to give a good blend of challenge and pure head chopping off take that you milk drinker fun. What do you feel gives the right blend of challenge and fun to make your game enjoyable ?.

Most enjoyable? On PC with a looot of mods, some which make potions heal over time, some which makes me carry only 70 rather than 300, some which require me to eat, drink and sleep, some which increase item price and decrease sold item price, some which balance magicka to work at high levels, without breaking the game.

But without mods, it's master difficulty no matter what character I play. Currently using a light armor, block, one-handed, smithing character with a bit of sneaking to balance it out. So far, a very enjoyable character. Rules: No magic, no enchanting creating, no health-boosting enchantments allowed, not allowed to create own potions, no one-handed damage increasing enchantments, no dark brotherhood gloves (even if the character would join them).
