Easy?

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:39 am

I read some threads out there where people are talking about that some things are just to hard to do.

So I make this thread about what you think of my style.

I use 1 handed swords and bow. With only light armor.
Light armor around 50
bow 85
1 hand around 80
Sneak around 60-70

Level 37 atm
And I can rather kill anything which comes acros me. Sometimes I have problems when a strong 2 handed orc or draugh comes too close and he can than 2-3 shot me. But if I am really am lazy I just reload. Sneak + bow = 2-3 hits death.
Else I just run away just my heal skill which is on left hand. 1 hand on other. Press the shout whihc makes you immortal for a few secs. And make 10 hits which usually gets the job done.

You would think I only leveled up those 4 skills but I have not. Speechcraft goes up when you talk think its about 50.
I use all ingredients I find I use restoration alot, smithing until highest level of light armor things. Enchanting
Actually any skill I leveled between 5-20 skills. And my major skills well they are above i suppose.

What I dont understand is. I kill anything. So far I done only the main quest line. And like 30-50 side quests. All other lines didnt even touch. And I can kill anything on my path. I feel like achilles when I open my 1 handed sword. And I feel like legolas(from lord of the rings) when I open my bow.

I use highest difficulty.
I do enjoy the game alot though. Just wondering why others have so much troubles while everything so easy for me....

Also, I see people who played 3-4 characters. Why do ppl do that? I mean its just the same kind of quests/npcs out there. I wouldnt like doing the exact same things again. Rather do EVERYTHING with the same character. Besides at level 37 I feel like I have only checked 10% of the game's world, maps, npcs(there are few major cities where ive never been before lol)

Also the perk of archery where you can draw your bow faster. Does that mean draw your bow when its sheathed? Or that you can shoot an arrow faster?

Sneak is pretty much easy mode. It's just the way it is. Nothing can be done about it. I went to try other styles and that's why I can make multiple characters. Because I roleplay.

And, yes, it does mean you can shoot an arrow faster.

Why we play several characters? Role-playing of course! You be surprised how much it can change your game. When playing a storm-cloak char and meeting Lars battle-born, my reaction was "what a jerk", but when playing a imperial supporter *my* opinion completely changed :D You should try it.

Stealth archery is extremely OP and makes the game painfully easy-- but that doesn't mean it isn't fun. My main characters in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim were all stealth archers. I'm playing a "psionic ranger" right now which is archery+illusion but with no stealth whatsoever. A little bit more of a challenge :P

Sneaking is easy. Sword n' Board is easy.
The only playstyle that mixes things up a little are my casters. Since they take a bit more work for me. High magic, low health and pretty much no stamina at all. And it takes longer to power up their spells because I can't temper magic T_T

You have the Freedom to build a powerful character, and you have the Freedom to build a weak character, or something in between. You can pick the challenges you want based on how you advance your character and what skills and perks you chose.

If the game does not provide you the experience you want, then change your character and it will be much different.

I have around 7 characters, juts because there are some quests I like to play again, and the fact you can't really master everything on one character.

haha thats the way i felt when i first started leveling my first char on master I was thinking " Im going to have too get better at playing my char or im going to get smashed at higher levels" .......oh how wrong i was.... by 32 your damn near immortal any class and i hadn't even leveled enchanting/smith .....sighhh it was so game breaking for me and a lot have people said stuff like that.

anyways get mods ... some to check out are PISE, enhanced high level gameplay ( only on steam workshop i think) and improved difficulty maybe deadly dragons stuff like that

idk never player an elder scrolls game before i guess the point is more rp and story but that's not every ones cup of tea needs challenging gameplay too!

Game is easy eh? Do what I did by accident. Don't use any perks or at least don't put any perks in the weapon skills. I didn't increase the damage output of weapons, and I keep getting killed like crazy. Level 10, with 9 unsed perks. No wonder I found the game bloody hard. I finally started a new game, used my perks and found the game a bit easier.

So want the game to be harder, don't use your perks, lol. Or at least don't use them to increase your damage output, except the first time, so you can go onto other perks in the tree.
