No challenge

Post » Sun Dec 11, 2011 7:20 pm

Well since i started playing i was getting a little bit of trouble with killing etc and questing.... Until lvl30, i got my deadric armor with a lot of pain in the ass and i am a nord warrior with a shield.

EVERYTHING IS TOOOOO EASY to kill! Where is the challenge?

Lvl cap is 81 right? I mean at 81 you are a demi god?

If you're finding the game too easy you could make a couple of changes:

- Increase the difficulty slider.

- Use cheaper equipment.

Hope that helps.

Soft cap is 50 (i.e., nothing levels past 50). In TES, you have to learn the game mechanics and make choices how you want to play. YOU are making the choices once you learn the details of how the game works. For example, in Oblivion, it was easy to beat anything by getting 100% Chameleon gear. Player choice to do so, though, it isn't something that was required. Some people even chose to stop leveling their Oblivion characters after level 20.

Level 30 isn't much, gets a tad harder unless you get perks later on.

Don't feel bad. I did the same thing - and almost posted the same message. Then I found the difficulty slider and cranked it up.

Ain't too easy, then, let me tell you. In fact, I turned it back down a notch, then added some limitations on my characters so they don't become "super-ubers".

In a game this open, you are free to make the game easy-mode if you want to do.

You can also make the game impossibly difficult.

If its too easy for you, and you aren't having fun that way, do some things to make life harder on yourself.

Impose: "House Rules". They can go a long way to increasing the fun of the game.

For example: My thief has a few house rules.
#1, no crafted armor, only what I find in the world, I can improve non-magic stuff best I can, but no smithing outside of grinding stones and workbenches. No enchanting, no alchemy.
#2: Only illusion magic. Works well for my thief, makes things kinda funny too to anger someone, cast a "calm" on them, then slit their throats, lol.
#3: Only Daggers for melee weapon, Bow and Arrow as primary damage source, no shield.

etc etc

These things can really change the game a lot.

Every time I think I am overpowered I run into some bandit that one-hit kills me or brings me very close to death. Yay.

Not really, the game gives you the chance to have it REALLY EASY as i had it ( my bad) or have it hard enough to be impossible

It's kind'a hard to find a difficult fight in TES.

Either you oneshot the enemy, or the enemy oneshots you.


I find a lot of the fights extremely onesided.

The combat mechanics are extremely simple and any advanced tactics end up as exploiting the AI's stupidity.

:confused:

True, but the option to become a god-like player has been in every TES game, that was my point. You can limit yourself to give yourself a challenge, I do, but that doesn't mean you cannot become a god.

Skyrim, like any other RPG, is designed around the idea that you are going to be spending ALL of your time actually doing quests, exploring the world, and engaging in 'infrequent' (rare) attempts to level up certain skills. If you drop everything to ignore the world and its quests (in an effort to vastly improve a certain skill to high levels), then you are going beyond what the game was designed around.

For instance, I play a lvl 36 warrior/destruction mage, and the highest skill I even have is 'one-handed', around 88, purely from use in combat. Smithing and other skills are at around 50 or much much lower. I've explored maybe 60% of the game world/dungeons, a bunch of quests, and only done a few of the main quest lines.

The game (on default difficulty) is challenging to a point. I'm pretty confident about my ability to face down most enemies on two legs, but then again, at more than half health, I was snapped up by an Elder Dragon and killed on the spot....Every few gains in level I seem to encounter something tougher...

This game is 100 times better than Oblivion when it comes to leveling....you can still encounter difficulty even at higher levels.

Yes you actually do physically become a god in at least "almost" every ES game.

Morrowind = You become a actual god incarnate. (Technically you always were.)

Oblivion = You become a daedric prince (aka a god) via shivering isle expansion.

Skyrim = You become the Dovakiin the same thing that Talos was and became... guess what?... a god.

So both in terms of stats and actual title, you do become a actual god in ES games.

(Note I didn't ever get the chance to play ES games prior to morrowind. So I can't comment on those.)
