It's more of a preference but i'l ask anyway,

So when do you guys think or consider changing to legendary difficulty to be worth while? at the start of a new game? when you get beyond lv40+?

Legendary difficulty in the early levels(lv1-10) sounds like it's gonna be alot of dying and reloading i mean i played several new games on master but legendary? has anyone started a new game and not die more than 10 times in helgen alone?

I'll be doing it with my one and only level 81 character. I'll be leveling the hell out of his magicka, and then I'll start equipping him with artifacts and seeing if any of them have good synergy with each other.

I'll turn it up to legendary once anything and everything dies with one hit. Oh wait that's now!! ???? with my level 255 nord/vampire lord / all time god. And my 600+ damage demon slayer sword, and dragon destroyer bow.

Legendary from Character creation, no followers, level 24 now. Haven't died too many times, biggest difference is you need meatshields at least at low levels, so either followers or conjuration or illusion help a lot.

So its either when your godly OP or when you start a new game... I think i'l just switch my current lv17 Warrior to Legendary i've played him on master from start so i don't think i'l miss much grinding

The new difficulty and talk of it has encouraged me to bump my Expert level 52 character to Master just to see how it is and so far it seems to be going well. I haven't seen it yet in a large dungeon like Forelhost but so far, so good. Maybe some day it'll be on Legendary...but I've seen videos and it looks really tough. I have no problem bumping it up and even back down if it's too much...fun is the goal.

I would do it right out of the starting gate. You can always turn it down.

Word.

As soon as you've maxed out your weapons and armor.
