I need to know something. Why do people complain so much about certain enemies being overpowered as well as the player being underpowered at later levels? Don't they know that there's a novice difficulty setting? It's so obvious. If you're going to power game and abuse smithing, enchanting, and/or alchemy, you're definitely not going to have to worry about being underpowered. But when you're playing as a hand to hand fighter, or a destruction only mage that abuses the impact perk and complains that it's boring and tedious, why don't you just turn your difficulty down? I know some people say "I don't like handicapping myself when I shouldn't have to, I play on either adept, expert, or master." But you really don't have a leg to stand on when you complain about something that you can so easily prevent. I agree that this game isn't as balanced as it should be, but I don't blame that on the team that created Skyrim, I blame that on the insufficient deadline that they were given to make the game. So will someone please enlighten me on the problem here?

I KNOW

its the wierist thing ever XD

Very true. But, ha, then the fun of complaining is so addictive.

Maybe that is why my wife does it

I agree. When I am trying out new or weird concepts I start on adept. I up the difficulty if I am finding things too easy, and if it is too difficult at adept, I take a long look at how I am playing and if dropping difficulty would make the difference or not. If I am still enjoying the concept and I think dropping the difficulty might make it more playable, then I am willing to do it. I find most of the time though, the my wild crazy concept is just not as fun when I try to put it into practice, never that it is a balance issue.

wait what? Turn the difficulty DOWN when you're overpowered? I don't get what you're trying to say.

LOL I'm gonna take a guess here, and imagine that you aren't somebody who has encountered a balance problem in your game, and also has not tried to "fix it" with the difficulty slider... hence, your post.

Please explain your point rather than just making a jerk out of yourself by making silly assumptions.

I'm saying that people shouldn't complain about being underpowered if they can just set the difficulty lower.
