I really don't get why some people are upset that you can make yourself overpower, every RPG I ever play I tried to find the fastest and easiest way to make my character as strong as possible.

Is buying 1000 heath potions cheating? because with that I am practically invincible.

No problem at all...until you come back on the forums and complain about how easy Skurim is and how boring it is since you rushed it.

Well you always find your Master. My character is pretty strong, Bandits, Drougr Lords , Dragons and such things are no problem. But that Dwemer Zenturio Master was a hard fight. He will kill you in one, if you have some luck 2 hits.

It's not exactly legit or realistic to walk round with that many supplies. Besides don't you want to take your time with the game?

I don't think most people atr upset about the fact that you can become very powerful, but rather that it takes very little to achieve it. If it took 100 hours, days of planning and several hard, long quest-lines no one would complain since then people woul hae deserved it if they got it. Simply exploiting the crafting is too easy.

Is the fastest easiest way exploiting a broken game mechanic to achieve being O.P. or just best way not exploiting something.To be frank i really dont care how anyone chooses to become op its not affecting my game.Using mods is technically cheating or hacking it doesnt affect anyones game but your own.Now if this was a MMO then we're in completly diffrent situation where O.P.and how its obtained affects others but this isnt so who cares.Its your game have fun with it.

Hell i just downloaded a mod that has every enchanting effect on it so my second char(1st char had all but 5 of them) didnt have to go out and find them.Call me a CHEATER and a HACK lol.

It is a choice the player takes. Some if my characters are powerful others, not so much for me its about choice. You should have the option to make everybody you make as powerful or as weN as you want. To do that we take away limits, then you can choose your own limits. That is how it should be.

Being overpowered may be the point when your a casual player on adept or whatever normal is in this game. When you provide higher difficulties you need to provide constant challenges. Those challenges should be tuned to be difficult no matter what which means they'd be tuned to be hard even when your "overpowered". If this doesn't work then you've wasted developer time even making other difficulties.

I think this is the issue, smithing and enchanting for melee players and I think some people with conjuration were playing the game like it was on easy mode, and they didn't really have to try hard to find a loophole in the system or in some cases never even exploited in any stretch of the term or concept. There are just some tactics and builds that are grossly strong, and only get moreso later in the game.

There is always going to be the desire to min/max, but I think if you manage to never gimp yourself in game on building your character or in how you do quests in acquire items the game will just be simply too easy.

they could've just made the game harder but provided more info or recommendations on how not to fuk up your character, maybe if they just QA tested it more or something. RAGE was released not to long ago, and that game did not have a real ending, you killed some typical mobs of NPCs as you always have throughout the game in a shooter, the game goes to an ending cinematic and your done after pressing some button to activate arks, no closure whatsoever, I was expecting another 2-3 hours of gameplay at least left. This is just to me a flaw with this game developer, something they are doing to not make their game feel finished, or simply not finishing it.

OK look, here's why I am upset. I am level 30. I am an Archer, One hand/Shield Heavy Armor build. I didn't power level anything or use any exploit or look up any FAQ. I just played the game normally. I am playing on Master difficulty. And yet I am totally OP. Almost nothing is a threat to me at all. I may have been unlucky in the way I cross the map and I've heard enemy levels lock in or something, no idea, but right now, this game is rather pointless as I am a God without even trying to be, and I am upset.

This pretty much, but I do admit to carrying a lot of health potions as a sort of comfort blanket, I attempt for the most part to let regenerative health do it's bit by running around avoiding hits.

Some people like cheat codes, some like a fight where they have to think and react to win.

You can play the game anyway you want as its a single player game. Its not like you will upset or annoy anyone because you have made your character super powerful. that's the beauty of the gameplay.

Not entirely true. It makes the game boring and trivial, It happened to me and I reverted to an older save. I didn't plan for it.

Legit or realistic? Because walking around with mulitiple sets of armor and five different types of weapons is. As well as all of your misc items and such :thumbsup:

We need a OOO for skyrim to make it ball crushing hard i'm just annoyed how easy the game is one second then a dragon preist show up with 6 draugr and plowes me... there should be more enemies at a time but a little weaker, you assault a bandit fort and there is like 4 bandits outside and 6 inside... there should be like 10-12 outside.

being op is always the msot boring part of any game (unless it also involves awsome acrobatic style moves that are meant to be awsome or that is not the point of the game), but i dont think skyrim is all that hard (maybe because i dont go out of my way to be op?)

The problem is when you want to play a challenging game of skyrim you don't use your intelligence to make yourself stronger, but to figure out how to gimp yourself.

I'll tell you where I've found being OP interesting, complacency, my archer is over powered with sneak, but I get so comfortable that I end up sneaking right into the middle of a fracas, my favorites have been the doors closing and locking behind you, once my character has been spotted, light armor stands little chance against a half dozen draugrs and a couple of wights.

Perfectly put.

When you are overpowered, everything turns into tedium. Which is why some prefer just the "right" level of challenge. As if that is easy to achieve

I agree with you.

Being overpowered is the point. The reason I like Morrowind more than Oblivion and Skyrim, is because your potential strength was even greater in TES III. I was on XBox, and I had a level 300 character that could kill anything within a milisecond. Now that is fun, because I played the game from a weak state into an unstoppable entity. How is it game breaking if you must first start out as level 1 everytime without these benefits. It is not as if all quests are blocked, until you get an attack rating of 10,000.

It's pretty fun to become overpowered.

It's less fun to actually be overpowered.

When I'm playing Elder Scrolls I'll usually play a character until I become really powerful and have some great gear, then I'll immediately get bored and start a new character.

It's the same deal with the Total War series of strategy games, I love to have huge perfect armies of amazing troops, but when you get to that part of the game you have an unstoppable juggernaut economy that none of the other factions can match (Shogun 2 improved this a lot though).

Not a problem at all. It's the exploiters who come here after abusing the craft skills barking the game is too EZ mode is what cracks most of us up

Lol, people love saying that overpowered players are "exploiting" the perks. It's not exploiting anything. It was just done poorly. Most games, at the end, you are most likely overpowered but you can't get to level until the end of the game. Skyrim, all you need to do is max Smithing and Enchanting and you'll own everything. Don't defend it by saying it's "exploiting." Exploiting would be finding a certain spot in the game where you can drop items and pick them up and they double which results in you being rich. This is how they made the game and it was a poor decision.
