Killed my first dragon now. Liking this character a bit more although I always run out of MP if I fight 2-3 enemies at once. Just got the level 2 spells so I wonder how that will do.
You could have just lowered the difficulty all the way for that fight.

You will actually see tiers of them as you level up (Dragon, Frost Dragon, Named Ones, Elder Dragons, Ancient Dragons, etc.) which will give you a better challenge.
+ Show Spoiler +Dragon < Blood Dragon < Frost Dragon < Elder Dragon < Ancient Dragon. they start appearing around 5 levels before you're the same level as them as far as I could tell. Saw my first Elder Dragon at level 35 and my first Ancient at 45.

Big surprise, alchemy in Skyrim is also rather "broken", although not quite as in Morrowind.
edit: I HATE that, when dragon just circles around but dont want to engage. Need to figure out a way to eliminate some range limiter from lightning bolt so I can agro them from afar (since it has no travel time) I found alchemy to be kinda weak this game; explain? once you discover some of the more advanced effects like slow, invisiblity, and frenzy, it takes very few potions to clean the general store and alchemist out of all their gold after buying up all their ingredients and soul gems so once you put like 4 perks into alchemy, every time you stop into town, you make 2k gold, get a good stock of ingredients, and end up with a dozen petty/lesser/empty soul gems once your alchemy approaches 70-80, you can even afford to clear the entire town out of filled grand soul gems, and afford high end ingredients like fire salts and daedra hearts poisons of slow provide the biggest return on invest because the ingredients to make them are very cheap, but potions of invisibility are the most expensive by weight
ah ok my alchemy skill wasn't high enough then T_T

Playing a stealth archer is so much more fun then a warrior.

Didn't even know there was a difficulty setting.
The game is not really user friendly in that aspect. No tutorial, the difficulty curve in some areas like that is somewhat ridiculous, etc.

Surely you've all seen this by now; to sum it up for those who haven't, Morrowind, Cyrodiil, and probably more regions are all in Skyrim, just are inaccessible due to invisible walls. You can get past the invisible walls with console commands, and see the low-texture, empty, and slightly misshapen versions of these places.
What I wanted to mention though, is that Morrowind, specifically Red Mountain, is visible WITHOUT console commands.
I've spoilered the directions to find it in case people wanted to try on their own.
+ Show Spoiler +If you climb to the absolute highest point at High Hrothgar, and look east, you will see a range of three mountains; the two on the ends are much closer than the one in the middle. The one in the middle, very far off in the distance, is Red Mountain.
How awesome is that?

The loading screens are plenty. There is even a loading screen message that says you can turn down the difficulty - even during a fight.

Lots of glitches in this game, but it's pretty good otherwise. Try climbing a mountain with a horse. It's funny.

Yah too bad the enemies are leveled haha, so as you get stronger so do your enemies.
In fact, if you abuse the Riften speech to 100 trick at the beginning of the game you'd get to a fairly decent level ~8, where all your other skills would still be at their starting values and now your enemies are strongers -_-

Not so much fun on the hardest difficulty where tougher enemies takes 20 shots to kill. It's not hard, but it's very tedious.

Anyone been able to get tyheir companion to pickup a giants club? Just won't work for me.

I play the hardest difficulty and it is definitely less tedious then my warrior at least so far. I had a small rant somewhere in this thread about warrior type on hardest. It's pretty hard to level up armor and block because you can't take many hits so you end up dodging around in fights. Then most of your perks go into damage which furthers your damage dealing role. There is probably a better way to play a warrior tank but playing free form led me down that path and it's not particularly fun.

Has anyone else gotten to a point where they're just destroying mobs while being practically invincible? I'm in full daedric with really good enchants on everything, and I'm starting to miss the hard, heart pounding fights I used to have. I think a combination of the shouts(become ethereal)/perks available for block make you pretty much unkillable.

Enchants make you invulnerable assuming you weren't invulnerable before that already. Really the only thing that ever did damage to me was spells in my heavy armor. Now that I have magic damage reduction enchants and absorb health I never drop below 90% health.

Personally I just stun and kite with spells. I stun dragons. I stun everything. At this point I have enough mana (it runs out if I aggro too many mobs)/damage to kill anything I encounter. It's kind of rewarding still though. Dragons still put up a fight, especially if there are other enemies around. In general, mucho enemies are fun. I should mention that I'm doing straight up dualcast lightning bolt and no AoE, shout or other ... boring stuff.

There are only 2 ways for me to play stealth archer right now (at level 27?): one-on-one in the dark, where I can run away after a shot and re-stealth; or one-on-one in the open/bright areas, where I have to find some terrain to abuse (either a jutting cliff or a table I can kite around).  Pretty disappointing, but I guess the kiting requires skill.

Okay, I'm finally leveling Smithing. I don't want to fill up the whole tech tree, but I do want to reach what I need/want the most.
Should I still put perks in the entire tech tree or should I go for specific kinds of armor?

You should go around the right side and stop at either Daedric or Dragon armor. Dragon is the best light armor so if you're heavy Daedric will get you the best weapons and heavy armor and you can save a perk. Getting any of the light armor (besides Dragon) is a waste of perk points as you want to unlock Daedric since they're the best weapons.
