The Ultimate Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Thread

My only complaint is that the enemies became incredibly boring after a while. I mean, sure, knights, wild animals, whatever, but a good 90% of the monsters were Draugers or Drauger variations. They could have really done something about that.

That is the exact reason why I can't play Skyrim to much. My only reprieve is when I find a dungeon with a dragon priest. That is an interesting fight. One of the only times I actually need to use a shout other than Dragonrend.

I just fought Falmer and Chaurus for the first time last night, and it was actually fairly challenging. I also made it to the Graybeards and joined the mage college.

By the time I got to the falmer, I could sneak past all of them since they're blind.

I still haven't really been bothering with sneaking, and I kill everything I see in an attempt to level my magic skills. I didn't have any major issues with the Falmer/Chaurus, but I did die once when I got swarmed. I basically just kited them through the dungeon and took them down that way.

I had to fight a troll and an ice troll on the way up the 7000 steps and had to use the same tactic. Sprint away, turn around and blast face for a few seconds, sprint away...etc.

I hate fighting that way. I feel like I'm cheating.

I don't feel that way at all. Not only will I kite to kill things, but I'll abuse terrain too. I see no issues with it, it's exactly what I would do were I actually in the game and my life were on the line. I did the same thing on my thief with her bow at times, especially when I had to kill two giants at once.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I also raided a bandit camp that was full of sissies that died in 1-2 seconds, and I found some fort that had been taken over by mages. That was actually a pretty fun time, though I kind of wish I had had a ward spell at that point. I made some good money clearing that place out, lots of soul gems and potions and enchanted items and such.
