Remaining on Level 1? : V - Skyrim

15 to 25 or so was the sweet spot for me.

I have to agree at 15-25 the game is at pretty good difficulty and you get the perks you need badly

Doable if you stay off the MQ, but bear in mind a few other quests don't get handed to you until you reach a certain level. The other thing is perks. Developing your skills is part of progress.

Yes, but my skills will still level and i will still be able to use dragon shout magic

Non-combat build will make you level much slower. Roleplay as a merchant that mostly stays in the cities to trade and stays on the roads for safety and relies on a hired gun to protect them.

OK, this discussion has inspired me to make a fixed level 4 mage; no MQ, no Dragons or shouts, etc. Just explore and try to visit every location.
I think I need three perks: novice destruction for basic flame and apprentice conjuration for a flame atronach.

I think the potential to be one shot by certain mobs would be very high. It could be interesting I think I will try as well but doubt that I will do the main quest probably just wander around.

My 'RULES' to self will be:

* Fix to Level 1
* Never go into the Skills/Star Constellation menu
* Can use Dragon Shouts (too difficult otherwise)
* Only use historical weapons & armour ie. iron, steel, silver... etc
* Master difficulty

its going to be tough but i'll enjoy it.

how about you Fragonard? whats your RULES to self?

Yeah i will do.

I tried this for Oblivion but there were a couple of occassions i was forced to level up (from memory). I hope Skyrim gives me the freedom to stay level 1.

Just to point out why I want to play as level 1, is because I find Skyrim THE most realistic and believable fantasy RPG out there at the moment, steeped in medieval history (i know many ppl will debate this), BUT i find the higher you level up, the armour and weapons become more out-of-this-(nirn)world and almost veering into J-RPG terriortory. I prefer the Iron and Steel industry look more than the glass & daedric affair. its just the way i roll.

That's why my girl rocks the leather regardless of level.

Basically the same as yours but since I won't have shouts, I'll use adept, at least to start, maybe go to expert if it seems reasonable.
Oh, and no armor at all just robes and hood with clothing shoes.
