Morrowind: Damn this is tough
Oblivion: Damn this is easy
I think my games are reversed or something.
My swords always break after a few skeletons on higher levels in Oblivion and then I die.
I never did wait though so that may have been my problem.
I never had any problems with morrowind though I always use weapons with which my character is most proficient.
Though I haven't played Tribunal or Bloodmoon yet because I keep starting over.
Those goddamned skeletons scare the crap out of me
