I play on Expert, it's a nice balance between normal difficulty and master, it keeps you on your toes but you don't have to be super careful about every encounter.

This.

Expert is without a doubt the most balanced and enjoyable difficulty setting in my experience. Enemies are challenging while not becoming a damage spongebob.

Master is just not fun for me, the cheapness of the a.i. hurts my RP experience.

Have to agree here I normally play adept or expert.

I use the fortify restoration glitch, make one-hit kill weapons, play on legendary, and never upgrade my health. It's very realistic, it's kill or be killed, whoever hits the opponent first wins. Try it out, it was fun for me.

how do you deal with insa- kill cams?!
