Did Bethesda mess up the character bonuses again? : V

Because I was on my Nord Warrior and I was getting anol [censored] by a mage using Frostbite. Seriously my character was getting frozen even though my 50% frost resistance would make this an easier fight.

No, trust me, Ice mages are even more of a pain in the ass if you are not playing a nord

What was the name of the mage and what is your level and resistances? You might have just run into a high level ice mage.

The Orc berserk seems overpowered to me. even on master with WiS ( maxed settings on dark mode ) + DD ( maxed settings ) + WARZONES + PISE...etc

NPC mages' spells are set on a much higher level than yours (and they never run out of mana unless you have a staff that drains 30 mana a second, in my experiance at least), they will obliterate you everytime (non nords are much worse off btw)

to be fair, i always carry a staff that does 30 damage a second to magicka then health, a soul trap spell and the black star for when i run into the demi-gods, so it is sorta balanced :teehee:

still, i should not have to be decked out with enough magic power to take down a deadric prince to kill a simple mage

Everything works for me, so i don't think it's broken.

Like people already pointed out, without the Frost resist you would've been [insert profanity] munched =/

Mages can be extremely dangerous. Even with 50% magic resistance i have to watch out. Thank god for wards!

Don't fight mages in the open, you need to find cover and make them come close to you so you can get the first strike in and stagger them, after that it's pretty straightforward.

Yes they did... one character should be able to unlock all skill abilities

The average player isnt going to reload the same game... 3 times... only people with no job and all the time in the world can do this

What are you talking about?

It depends on the enemy subtype and their level, really. And like others have said, Nords do have an easier time against frost than any other race even if it doesn't feel like it.

I have like 90% Magic Resistance and Mages can still do a good amount of damage if they spam their spells.

Magic resist is capped at 85.

There is a way to become completely invulnerable to magic and shouts via 100% magic absorption.

Also, a good ward will protect you from shouts. Specly against FUS RO DAH

Arrow in the throat stops mages every time.
