NO NO NO LEVELED LEVELED LEVELED ITEMS ITEMS ITEMS IN IN IN SKYRIM SKYRIM SKYRIM!!!
(just in case someone don't understand, I repeated it 3 times)
Really that is one BAD idea in TES4.
Artifacts and unique items shouldn't adjust to player level
And if they do
1)it needs to be backed up by lore
2)adjustment shouldn't stop at the moment player gets this item, but continue (such item should improve by every next level)
Second, about enemies leveling with you
I really doubt that every time player gets new level
1)All hostile ecosystem gets euthanized and replaced by stronger version
2)All bandits get additional training and receive shipment of new toys
These things should be region locked
If it is known that there is heavy bandit activity in forest X, than here bandits could be stronger and at low levels you shouldn't wander around this location much
Same with wildlife
So in general there shouldn't be much leveling in Skyrim
On the other hand if some organization or group of baddies is going after YOU then they should take into consideration what level/skillset character you are.
If you are low-level nobody, few mercs with shabby armor and scrap weaponry will be sent after you.
If you are mid-level combat mage, there will be more mercs sent after your head and most of them will be prepared for dealing with you (potions of disbelief and magic-resistant gear)
If you are high-level Semi-God , there will be small army awaiting to ambush you, consisting from various high-level specialists with best weapons/armor they can get.
So in cases when leveling kicks in it should make sense and be smart (checking your skills and putting against you enemies that could have highest chance of defeating you)
Regarding dragons
Those are strong initially, but we don't know how closely they are paying attention on Dragonborn
Gathering information can happen by ordinary means, by followers of dragons (if there will be such)
Or by magical means, or both
So if they actually keep an eye on Dragonborn, it is only logical that they will change tactics (by coming in groups of 2 or 3) and start to send stronger dragons after us
I know that leveling will be an improvement over FO3 system, but still there were strange things in FO3 too.
So any comments on this or maybe suggestions how leveling system could be improved?
