I started a new character and limited myself to only one crafting tree (Alchemy) besides the Arcane Blacksmithing perk because my other character could kill Alduin in 3-4 seconds on Master difficulty but even now with only one crafting tree I can still destroy everything and anyone in seconds without ever having to use a health potion or poison. In fact, I havent used a potion in so long that I almost became overencumbered by them so I had to put a lot of them in a chest.

This is ridiculous. I crafted all these powerful poisons and potions and the game gives me no reason to have to use them cause it's overkill. How could this be? I dont even have to look at the screen when Im being attacked. All I have to do is hold down the attack button and they die with the slightest touch almost. I cannot be killed unless I put down the controller and let it sit there for a few minutes. How could anyone, even casual players enjoy playing a game that let's you just walk right through BOSSES?

IT IS VERY BORING and I am not at all happy with my character anymore. There is no accomplishment here. It all means nothing. This needs to be fixed soon in a DLC. The game is broken.

Turn up the difficulty?

It's on Master. Might as well be on Novice.

You've abused the game and are now complaining. It's quite common. Play the game legit and you wont have anything to complain about. Those poisons you made are probably glitched with the +restoration potions affecting all skills problem. Don't do it and you wont have any worries.

Brace yourself, you're about to be flooded with "don't play how you want" advice.

^Called it.

How you assume I abused the game? Did you not read what I said? I limited myself to ONE crafting tree which is Alchemy. NO GLITCHES.

The game is only broken if you power-level smithing, alchemy, and enchanting - your character will be like god-level.

Start a new character and don't power-level those 3 skills.

Or, try something I started 3 weeks ago - a permanent level 1 character.

No assigning health, stamina, or magicka. Then, you also can't use skils and perks. So, no smithing, enchanting, etc.

You have to live off the land. Armor/weapons from drops or loot from dungeons, or purchased from traders.

Good luck.

If playing how you want isn't fun, then why are you playing? Try playing another way.

You just complained that it hurt when you stuck a cigarette in your eye, and when someone told you, "don't stick a cigarette in your eye", you pfft the advice and "I want to...they should make it not hurt".

How about doing like me, only use low-tier armour and weapons. I think Steel, Hide and Fur looks much better than Daedric or Ebony for example, so I use those instead.
That can be challenging at high levels.

I want to play how I want and still have fun.

A properly balanced game does this.

How many times do I have to say it? Why do you comment before reading what I said? I ONLY INVESTED IN ALCHEMY.

I used that exact same method in Oblivion most of the time. It made it fun. One of the reasons I played i over every few months for 5 years. I level to 5 or 8 or so, and just play all the way through. You can also try many other things. Play with no magic. Play with no armor. Never stealth/sneak. And more. You gotta make it fun for yourself.

Skyrim is easy. This isn't news. I don't think the issue is that Dragons die so fast, I think it's that they're so predictable. I could fight one for 3 hours, but it'd still be easy, because their patterns have clear markers, allowing you to defend yourself accordingly.

It's much harder to put your Ward up against a volley of Fireballs, or find an opening to attack in a swarm of bandits.

It also doesn't help that the crafting skill you chose, is naturally the most powerful. Some of the poisons you can make, my favorite being Canis Root, Mora Topinella, and Imp stool, absolutely annihilate all enemies not immune to poisons. That is to say nothing about the near immunity magic potions you can make.

The game is broken if you have to do all that.

Dragons' predictability is part of it.

The bigger problem with Dragons is that their difficulty only comes from having a large Health pool to draw from without having any Armor or Magic Resist to protect them.

I have an idea. How about we start demanding a harder difficulty setting in a dlc instead?

I accidentally started a new guy on Master difficulty.
It was bloody hard! For the first 10 levels or so...
I've found Expert is better for most folks below around level ~35.
Once you're able to smith enchanted items, though, you pretty well have to go to Master difficulty.
Horhey - what level is your guy?
I wonder why you're finding it so easy?
One of my (very few) mods is a Lategame Overhaul that adds high-level enemies.
Designed for level 40+ guys though...
Not sure where you're at.

My character is maxed out at 81. The whole time I didnt worry about how is easy it was cause I assumed it would get harder later on.

They should raise the level cap to 250 with the next expansion.

That's the problem. I dont even ever have to use poisons or potions. I want to have to use them to survive.

Wait, so, let me get this straight. You only perked Alchemy, no weapon perks. You kill dragons in seconds, with no perks in any weapons, without using these super-poisons you made?

Something smells fishy. Maybe I'm misinterpreting you.

What about the perks you invested in..? That's the issue.

Even perking One-Handed past 20% ruins the game.

Again showing that the game is badly balanced.

Dual wielding Assassin

Weapons: Blade's Sword in one hand and Blade of Woe or Mehrunes' Razor in the other.

Secondary Weapon: Nightingale Bow - Deadric and Ebony Arrows

Armor: Ancient Shrowded Armor

Skills: One Handed Weapons, Light Armor, Archery, Sneak, Alchemy, Speech (all bartering perks)

Sorry, no video.

Hmm, strange.

On my Two-Handed warrior, with my Legendary Daedric Greatsword with Fire & Shock enchants on Master with the damage increase perks, I found the game to still have a decent challenge. I was decked in Legendary Daedric gear with relevant enchants as well.


Ah. I misunderstood you in a pervious post then. I thought you only perked Alchemy.

In this case, it seems that yeah, this build could be OP. The obviously broken sneak & such makes normal enemies rather pathetic. Dragons still fall easy with bow & Daedric arrows.

Yeah, in this case, some of the problems with dragons are that instead of actual armor, as Darkside Eric said, it's just lots'o health. They're also predictable. Beth really needs to buff the dragons.
