Starting The Elder Scrolls Games from Oblivion, I got used to being able to make in my opinion, "the perfect character." You know, the heavily armored sorcerer that only was seen when they wanted to be.

I had never made much progress however, because of the 80 perk limit that Skyrim used to have. So I didn't play much and never got far.

Now Skyim has no limits.

Unfortunately my problem isn't solved. If I focus on let's say One-Handed and Block for a while, then Archery later, then Destruction magic, I tend to get too weak to be able to catch up. So I have to grind (which I really hate to do) in order to make ends meet. I have even tried avoiding leveling other skills to keep myself from leveling too quickly, but I get the same results.

I have tried to balance out all of my combat skills, including two handed, but what ends up happening there is I become insufficient to take on some dungeon bosses and stronger enemies, which results in me turning the difficulty down from Adept to Novice (which I also really hate to do) in order to proceed with the game.

Obviously it is much easier to just focus on one thing and stick to it, but I get bored easily with the sword and board thing.

I have tried making a Paladin, a warrior with restoration powers, but found myself dying to the Frost Troll on the way to High Hrothgar. I turned it down to Novice, but after several tries I gave up.

If you have a solution to my problem, I would really appreciate the answer.

If you are saying you get bored playing a specialist character and only have fun playing a Master of All Trades type, then I'm not sure there is a solution. Enemies will level based on your overall level rating and not the levels of your skills. Finding yourself mismatched and lowering the difficulty is going to happen all the time unless you only choose one type of skill to level until you are "powerful" in that area.

You have to develop a primary attack and defense first, then use your secondary when the enemies are not as strong if you don't want to focus on one area.

If you want to build a sneaky sorcerer, you can do that with way less than 80 Perks.

Play on a higher difficulty...expert is best IMO...enemies have more hit points so you will level skills faster...

If the OP is having trouble with Adept difficulty, then I'd imagine Expert or higher would give him more problems.

In all my characters, regardless of projected level & build, I go by the saying: If you can't outdamage them, make sure you'll outlive them. This, means that for the first 20 levelups, I invest exclusively on health. Depending on how much careless you are during fights, you may want to add 10 more and bring your health pool at 400.

Also: Smithing is your friend. Enchanting, even more so, especially since you're going for a jack of all trades, with a projected level of 250+
