You're sick, pray at a shrine of your choice (e.g. the Talos one just below Dragons Reach in Whiterun) to fix you up.

I'm considering buying Skyrim, but I have doubts about the leveling system.

Due to enemies leveling with you, I'd end up choosing skills I'd certainly never use as my main abilities. In Skyrim, do you actually feel stronger at higher levels, or do the enemies gain just as much as you (or even more) from leveling up? Do you have a sense of progression in that you start to crush enemies that used to cause you problems earlier?

Don't get me wrong, it's obviously a good game but it just seems pretty dull.

The more I play it the more I feel that the world just seems empty. There doesn't seem to be any travelling merchants going along the roads that have escorts. This means that while I'm adventuring in the wild and make it back to a road that there is no little surprise, no one I can talk to, to either exchange loot or even hold up.
Same thing with bandits, why aren't there any bandits hiding alongside roadsides ready to ambush caravans/NPCs? Or fellow adventurers going to and from towns that you can have a little chat with?

I don't really care for the random x x prisoner x groups that roam around and I think adding NPCs that actually are out in the world would add so much life to the game. If you played Oblivion then you may remember these things were added in mods and they were pretty cool.

Adventuring is a bit dull. I've come across quite a few places that have cages in them and there are never any prisoners. How hard would it be to add someone that says thanks for releasing me and then you either let them free or shake 'em up. Or that they start a quest line to retrieve something they own from the boss of the location or to head back to where ever they came from and receive a reward, or even escort them back to civilisation?
It's also a bit dull because there doesn't seem to be a big enemy list. I'm getting a bit bored clobbering bandits, necromancers and vampires at most of the locations I go to. Or those dead nords. And Spriggans are annoying.

There doesn't seem to be many choices in quests either. Sure you can probably remember a few but it would be nice to get to the end of a bandit cave and be able to talk to their leader who is impressed with your killings of his companions and tries to make a deal or you get to join him for some loot and go heist up wandering caravans or kill soldiers nearby. There just doesn't seem to be many choices when you get to enemy leaders, it's simply enter x and murder everything.

Dragons seem a bit of a let down. They can be very few and far between and they aren't exactly hard fights. Their animations in the sky look a bit awkward and when they get to the ground, what to they do? They either melt your face or peck you.
It's a freakin' dragon man. Where's the tail swipe or shielding with wings or locking with the jaws and tossing. There are other enemies that are harder than dragons and it's a bit of a letdown when these fights should be EPIC but they just aren't.

Loot seems a bit of a letdown too. I suppose it's a good amount that drops but not many of it seems helpful to me apart from disenchanting. Smithing is pretty much better than anything you'll find and add that to enchanting and there is 0 chance you'll need anything.

It feels like Oblivion completely remade yet without many world improvements. Sometimes it feels empty like an MMO where anywhere that isn't a town or village just seems emptyObviously I'm going to keep playing but after I complete it with this character I'm going to wait for some tasty, tasty mods.

i saw orc hunters hunting deer, messengers running past me, bards wandering the fields and bandits (one time clashing with a bard xD). there could be more but i think its pretty good already.

as for cages, yeah would be cool, only saw a vampire in a cage once, some mages where using him for taget practice, but i couldn't free him.

and choices are more than you think, i randomly found some more options to quests i thought where only "go to x and do y" quests.

dragons are not what they should be, that much is clear ^^ every bear is more scary than a dragon

Sry if this was answered already, but does wearing armor affect spell effectiveness? I would like to be mage with heavy armor even if it doesn't make that much sense

You abuse smithing to 100 / level 30 and have 20 skill in your combat, your going to get owned, unless your playing on anything below expert like a noobie.

Of course you also have the option of NOT ABUSING THIS STUFF, ITS A SINGLE PLAYER GAME STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT A CHOICE YOU MAKE + Show Spoiler +

And FYI, the higher your level, the less xp you get for those "lower" skills.
