you gotta put it on expert for any challenge, master is a bit too hard imo. I did turn it down to adept on some of the main quest boss fights since I was getting like 2 shotted. just press f5 alot tbh.
yeah I'm wrong I am noticing some scale, draug or w/e they are called scale alot. infact at one point I am vs 3 dragons and bunch of draug at same time, and dragons inconsistent AI meant draug were the only real threat.
actually 2h felt alot easier to me on expert difficulty but I liked the look of shield perks so I went for them. I defintely find 2h enmies aswell MUCH harder to fight, they can decap me currently with powerattacks even when I am about 60+ hp left.
I think I'm just going to start a new mage character. I shouldn't have picked the Nord class, magicka regen is fucking me up, turns out race matters more than I thought. Still surprised I managed to do fine as a pure mage so far. I doubt I can muster the attention span to do a second playthrough so I better make this first one count. Time for a restart as a high elf, now that I actually understand something of this game.
I went nord just for RP value, but actually breton is the master race. 25% resistant to all magic is the shit. armour seemingly does nothing vs magic. once per day spells well 20 hours on my nord and never bothered using, and the starting skill bonuses mean dick all. its all about the passives, and bretons is way the best. even tho breton is supposed to be a mage race, its 100% the best race for any type of character imo.
PS: after beating main quest someone said dragons are 50% harder, but I haven't really noticed any change anywhere. think it might effect empire vs rebels quests but yet to know for sure.
