It's pretty nice when played on Master difficulty, but the realism takes a strong hit when you see completely unarmored enemy mages casting spells with tree arrows in their face, or when you have to hit a bandit leader 20+ times with your two-handed sword.
And this is pretty much an issue with all games that allow harder difficulties.
I'd like to discuss with you guys what you think that can be done to allow harder challenges in harder difficulties, yet still keeping the realism of the game? (not necessarily only for Skyrim)
