If only there were a mod which made coins harder to come by and overhauls the prices of everything,
so beggars have a real reason to be beggars.
Also, regular coins should not appear in hundreds of years old dungeons.
And weapons/armors as well!
Toio many times have I found things in old crypts that should not belong there!

I believe there is

i guess spreading my skills out wasn't the best idea for this instalment of TES.

now i'm lv18 and faced with my first draugr deathlord... bastard comes with a bow :)
1 shot bypassing my shield leaves me with 5% hp. In melee range i can hold my own for a bit - but after a taking a few hits he simply shouts and i drop my weapon in some awefully dark place where i have a hard time even finding the damned thing.
Managed to distract him for a moment by summoning familiars and running away.

Looks like i'd better go focus on some skill tree or other, so i have some way to survive and kill these buggers.

It you don't specialize, you are pretty much fucked by the level scaling my friend :D

Happened to me too.

 It's not so much not specializing as much as not choosing one right skill to have and giving it a decent amount of love. I don't think it can be a complain if you don't invest anything in a direct combat ability.

 My mage dicked around with various magic schools with only like, five perks in Destruction for dual-casting impact and some cost reductions. No problem.

The best way to deal with high level draugr is to use your own shouts.  Full Fus Ro Da them so they get knocked down.  Then use your most powerful attacks to quickly kill them.  If you are far enough in the main quest line to meditate on words of power with the leader of the graybeards, pick the word Fus.  With that your Fus Ro Da is more powerful and you better resist their shout.  Instead of being knocked down, you are only staggered.

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

Ended up beating the game with its own glitchiness. Ran up a corridor and shut a door made of bars. Apparently shock spells can travel through this while fire and arrows can't.
Then dropped down a shaft and faced down another deathlord. This one refused to walk 2 steps to the left, thus trapping himself on the side of the stone i stood on, happily roasting him.

Kinda sad really, at the moment i feel like most enemies have ridiculous amounts of health for my dwarven sword (skill 50) and 8dmg/sec destruction spells (30-ish).
At the same time they chop my 180hp up in 2-8(with shield) hits.
There's a fine line between difficult and "cheating" enemies.

So can I actually continue with bards or no? I might revert to an earlier save...

Edit: Wait, nevermind. I thought the questline would be longer than just one quest, the internet is telling me otherwise.

I'm playing again, decided to completely ignore the main quest and bugger off into the wilds. It's a lot more fun when one ignores most of the quests IMO>

I haven't played it either all month.

Instead, I'm playing Oblivion with FCOM and Deadly Reflex instead since I am a nub and didn't get into the Elder Scrolls series until Skyrim. 120+ hours into Oblivion already. That's over 330 hours between Skyrim and Oblivion, good god.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.
