I've definitely moved up to expert difficulty, but I am still getting whooped up on by high level enemies.

Outfit her with Daedrick armor and weapons.

She's got dragon right now. i'm not finding too many daedra hearts right now.

What I think they'll do is eliminate stacking effects for just about everything. In Oblivion, it was possible to have 5 pieces of 20% camouflage to make you completely invisible. In Morrowind it was possible to have ridiculous constant effect jewelry that would make you a god. They are slowly removing things that are OP in each iteration, such as the levitate spell which allowed you to attack something and then float away and shoot them to death or the pole-arms which were kind of ridiculous with the attack range.

I miss levitation. They simply should have made it impossible to attack while floating in the air.

Even though they removed the number of pieces you can enchant, you get higher level enchants in this game.

Plus in Morrowind and Oblivion, enchanting something with more than one enchant lowered the other enchant.

In this game, you put the same amount of enchant whether you use one or two.

I just made some thief gear and I can put 45% sneak and 45% pickpocket on one piece. So with just two items enchanted, I get +90% sneak and +90 pickpocket.

That is simply too much.

I think the 11-11-11 date caused them to rush things and I think tweaking difficulty probably wasn't even touched by the developers.

Master difficulty should be hard or damn near impossible. It really isn't.

I find that buying soul gems (filled) from my wife and then selling the excess gear is a good way to make money and get rid of junk.

Just got my head sliced off by some forsworn leader type... Don't remember exactly what his title was but he sucked

"Pieces of the Past" is a good quest for hearts and loot.

Not to mention Mehrunes' Razor (small chance to instantly kill.)

Yea that's the one, dude started with the high ground too which sucked because it's hard to hit someone with a bow from below them AND he had a fricking pet giant frostbite spider.
