Yeah, I was just getting the feeling that I might be too powerful for my current level. I have an Orc who uses heavy armor and two handed weapons. My heavy armor skill is 44, with Orcish Armor(from "The Cursed Tribe") and my armor rating is 244. I use a greatsword from a mod (slightly better damage than Dwarven) that does 68 damage per swing and my two handed skill is 65. I am level 16. Am I too powerful?

Any input is appreciated.

I think you're okay. If you feel Skyrim is becoming a bit easier, turn up the difficulty

Ok. Thanks. Back to destroying people with my greatsword heheh

Change difficulty to Legendary, and you won't feel overpowered. Especially with 244 armor.

Change it down until you feel like you're where you want to be. Personally, I don't like feeling OP, but it's a single-player game, so play the way you want.

Yeah, I turned the difficulty up to Expert. Don't feel as OP now.

As long as your weapon isn't doing more than 100 - 130 damage, you should be fine. Any more than that and things start to get ridiculous.

Expert is the closest to balanced I think the game gets. I play on legendary now only because I'm a masochistic min-maxer when it comes to character construction which sadly involves a long grind in Skyrim. And maybe because I'm one of those idiots who often just has to play on the highest difficulty to be a manly man or hardcoe gamer or whatever, in spite of it not being fun.

244 armor seems pretty high for level 16, but then it's heavy armor whereas I only use light because it's better in the end. Two handers seem obviously inferior damage wise but I suppose they've got reach over the other melee options I guess. They feel clunky as hell to me though.

I have maxed armor, Miraak's Robes (better than you think) and a sword that, through completely legitimate, non glitched methods, does upwards of 500 damage with just the enchantment. THAT is OP. Trust me, you're fine.

244 armor is pretty good for that level, even good enough to survive on master. Legendary for melee characters is just so wrong....

Guessing this is the new chaos enchant that basically gets its damage increased by way too many different perks and other modifiers?

Thats nowhere near op, but most questions of opness are solved with jacking it up to legendary as previously said, unless you're one of those that likes one shotting dragons with an arrow through exploits.

edit: Missed the detail about your level. Yea that would be a bit much to me at 16, but as I said, just jack up the difficulty.
