If you find the game too easy, just fire up the new patch and the excitement will be back.
I've really had a tough time with mage enclaves. If I didn't have 400 hp, they would be one hitting me just like the first week I played the game.
I haven't used potions much for a couple weeks and now I am almost out of ultimate healing potions from a few mage fights.
Dragons seem tougher too although not sure why unless magic resistance also deflects some elemental damage.
Now that I returned the guild to glory, I've been collecting shouts from the whispers heard by the graybeards. I figure I'll collect all of those, then move on to the mages guild story.

Stupid fact, it takes me 6 in game minute to burn through my magika bar while dual casting.

Did you take almost all magicka at level ups or did you take advantage of a crazy enchanting loop to get crazy bonuses on your gear?

Neither I am hack and slash, but I am wearing the Archmages clothes with crazy regen. I have 300 magika. By in game I mean game time not real time.

Real time about 15 seconds.

Just using a nice set of smithing gear with a lvl 100 alch smithing potion, then lvl 100 enchant with one level 100 alch enchant pot pretty much makes you invincible.
Well, until the recent patch which abolished all resistances.
I think they took so much heat for The Grind in Oblivion that they totally removed the grind in Skyrim and made it too easy to get 100 smithing, enchanting and alchemy.

How does one go about finding their wife? Married her in Riften and haven't seen her since. And why can't we marry the hot skanks in Markath?

Alchemy for me is tough I farm 7 vendors for ingredients and I am still at 66.

Go back to the temple in Riften and "wait" for a day or so, if she doesn't show up then go back to her home town. you have to talk to here and tell her live with me bitch.

I went from 70 to 100 in less time than I went from 1 to 70.

I read it but the ingredients for those pots are the hard part, maybe I didn't read it close enough.

I've been trying to exploit trainer/followers every single level. Finished Companions' Guild quests so I have access to all those.
Alchemy is going to be miserable. I've hardly started it. I've been killing giants when I come across them so I can make toe potions later.

Where was that guide again? I came across it but will definitely need it. I want to to get this done so I can finish these things out and go back to full time questing.

I just did some hopping from whiterun to riften to to Windhelm to solitude to markath and a few smaller towns and bought everything. Plus I had already been doing that every time I came back to Whiterun.
The key is to not waste any ingedients on potions less than 500 gp.

I try to do that, but I will be more diligent. Ding 65.

LVL 81 is almost impossible, it seems they extend the amount of time between skill ups for the fighting skills for each level you make.

Given how easy the game is at level 50, I am not sure why they felt the need to make continued leveling to max so hard.
I guess the figured the regular crowd would quit long before that point and the grinders would have something to grind.

Yeah I was looking at my list of skills and I came to realize I will probably never get there. Once I get enough of everything I want I'll be hard pressed to work on the little things.
Posted on 12/2/11 at 9:56 pm to Thundercles
I'm a min/maxer. I want to get to max level, but given this I don't think I will do it in this game. I have 170 hours played and 16 levels to max, I have done the major quests in the game and there is NO reason I will grind to get to max at this rate.
