Did you use a shield? They help a lot from arrow fire...
...I suppose the only way to become closer to that goal would be total mastery with a ranged weapon AND throwing for emergencies. While also being extremely fast; 1818 I'd say.
The idea is, everything dies before it can attack you, you can't die.
By cheating, I suppose you could mod in a race of people that don't have critical spots like hearts and lungs, and give them a tag so they don't NEED them either. But when you get to cheating, it's just easy.
I *like* that nobody is totally invincible. I really do! Even the most legendary warrior MIGHT just die in one lucky hit, and I love that. The only thing that bothers me, is that the lucky hit almost HAS to be from an arrow. I'd like it if other attacks, perhaps like a giant trying to crush you, also had a chance of a critcal insta-kill. As is, if you have all iron armor and several layers, with a shield, that will almost never happen, ever.
*EDIT!* Almost forgot. Although if enemies can eventually grapple in more interesting ways, getting your eyes torn out would be the equivalent. Also, Toady considered having advanced wrestling moves for very strong creatures, like simply tearing somebody in half, or throwing them good distances. If I recall correctly... don't quote me on it.
I think it would be great if, you, with all of your heavy iron armor, simply got picked up by a dragon or titan and thrown into a pit or lava. That'd be scary and epic. The dragon bites you, but the iron blocks it. The dragon breathes fire, but you turn it away with your shield. Frustrated, the dragon just picks you up and swallows you, or just drops you off a ledge.
