Health for overpowered characters.

Post » Fri Jun 08, 2012 9:40 am

If you find Skyrim easy and master, how much health do you have?

This is related to my finding in Fallout 3, an character with low endurance would end up with low health at higher level, making the game much harder without having to increase difficulty and also make the enemies very hard to kill.
Repeated this in Oblivion then I played later and for me it make the game much more enjoyable as enemies could kill me without having to hit them 100 times to kill them.

So I'm interested in how much health people who find the game easy have.
level and armor rating is also interesting.

My highest character has 220hp and 320 armor at level 49 but only play on expert not master.

I put equal amount of points into stamina and health. I don't use magic. I'm a full sneak, leather armor wearing archer / dagger assassin. It's a lot easier than my full heavy armor, full HP character I tried on master difficulty, who had double HP compared to my sneak character and over ten times as much armor rating. Not getting hit in the first place beats getting hit, any time and everywhere.

I play on adept because of Destruction bad scaling in master. But since i want a realistic gameplay (killing fast, dieing fast too) i limited myself to 200hp, a good things is that allow me to put lot of point into magicka.

Level 67, 200hp, and i can still die easily, but i can kill as easily too.

By level 50 on my main/highest level character I had around 400 base, 600ish with enchants. My armor was pretty low since you can't effectively raise it as a ranged character without resorting to stupid grinding methods. I guess I should've just found a trainer. Stamina is a pretty pointless stat to buy considering how easy it is to restore, and you only need so much magicka. Health is obviously easy to restore as well, but higher health is never a waste as you rely on it to survive burst damage. And with magicka you need certain amounts to cast the more expensive spells. You don't die when you hit 0 stamina, and you only need 1 stamina to perform a power attack, and as an archer or mage you don't really even need stamina.

I have a level 47 mage with health of 100 and armor of 0, a level 51 thief with health of 350 and glass armor (+mask) of about 500, and a level 40 orc "death knight" with health of about 280 and dwarven armor of 900 odd.

Being a Knight hunter all goes to Stamina and Health.

I got around 330/330 Sta/Hp.

Deadly with bow....more deadly with sword combined with ice shout.

Sounds pretty much like mine character, and yes armor skill is low as you don't take many hits, and then you take lots of hits you have to reload anyway.

I usually aim around 250-350 Health, 200-250 Magicka and the rest goes into Stamina.

I tend to split evenly between Health+Stamina or Health+Magicka, although I probably shouldn't have done the former with my two stealthy archers as they don't expend much stamina unless I'm sniping from extreme range, which is rare due to odd arrow mechanics at long range. I've considered making a low-health character, but it wouldn't be compatible with my Dead-is-Dead play style.

My current character is not using much magic, so other than a couple of level ups, I go roughly 2 for 1 on Health and Stamina. So, health is at about 300 and Stamina is sitting at 200/220 or so. However this is all moot, if the game wants to kill me, it kills me. Most battles are winnable, some I just look at my corpse as it slides across the ground wondering what just happened. I reload and just approach thing differently, or let my follower handle it until they kneel down.
