I've noticed that too, while I was questing, I managed to pick up a pack mule and she always lagged behind.

She's dead now, so it's moot.

I have saves with each of the three pure builds. Mage, warrior, and thief. This game is just so fun that I don't mind completing everything three times. Started each one in the "proper" city and I'm having a blast. I have to say, dual-sword bow-wielding rogue is my favorite so far. But there's nothing like chopping down a handful of bandits using a huge axe and

fire breath.

Now if only I had some skooma to play this game with.

[Johuotar]

I'm sword and axe dual wielding warror who sometimes uses 2 handed axe. Or sword and shield. Or bow. I also use some magic to heal myself and damage enemies. I sneak, enchant and I do alchemy.

This has to be the worst jack of all trades character ever.

[Duuvian]

I had Morrowind, but not Oblivion. If I ever find the money to upgrade my computer a bit, I'll probably get this one too. Looks pretty sweet.

[Yoink]

Ahhh, this is great. I've been playing pretty much all day, and the combat is darned awesome.
I didn't realise your enemies could do the special finishing moves too, though! Argh, that was painful. I severely underestimated this half-naked bandit leader and he ran me through. It's weird, after so long playing DF, I always feel a bit strange re-loading my game, like I'm savescumming or something...

Anyway, after plenty of blood-soaked adventures as my current character, I think I'll take a break, relax and make an Argonian.

as an assassin destruction mage i can tell this:
i get you from behind, i kill you.
you get far in front of me, i kill you.
you appear out of nowhere behind me, i'm dead meat.
i'm speaking to you BEAR!
fight me like a man! and attack from the front! possibly as far as my dual firebolts can reach!

A problem I have with this magic system is that you cannot fine tune your spells anymore. The ones provided are uninspiring and scale up with more damage, more radius and that's it.

No longer you can trade off duration, damage, area of effect and mana use to create your own combination and play stile.

Also, most of the spells are just plain uninspiring. Seriously: frostbite, firebolt, wall of flames, blizzard, icy spear... it seems to read an unfunny crossover between d&d and magic the gathering.

where are the Shalk's Fire Bite, Blessings of the Fourth Corner, the Hand of the Hart-King, each with its own story and such?   

[ThtblovesDF]

I have maxed out pickpocket, good sneak (70-100), good magic skills (all around 50 ish) and know how to use ze magiz swordz - I'm level 35 and my hybrid build gets 1-3 hitted by EVERYTHING on the most easy difficulty (Full ebony armor of superior quality, with some of the heavy armor perks buffing it more, around 105 armor). The bandits and other randroms I meet can and HAVE killed dragons in 1 on 1 combat and the game has become pretty much unplayable due to me not strictly following one path.

Great... I hope the enemies cap at some point or I can figure out where to adjust the "lol everything now is the devil" ratio somewhere. (Steam version)

So yeah take that as fair warning.

[Crustypeanut]

I've been playing on Expert difficulty with my Orc warrior and haven't gotten 1-3 shot by anything yet.. although this Frost troll I did come across did kill me a few times before I just decided to kill him from range.

It seems like this game puts heavy emphasis on defense, whatever you choose it to be.  Otherwise, you'll just die quickly.  Losing is Fun!

[KaelGotDwarves]

If you level up on non-combat skills, you run the risk of being outclassed in combat by your enemies' leveling schema.

They do scale somewhat, although it isn't as bad as Oblivion.

[irbis]

So far its not a huge problem with me because I've been working my destruction skill heavily as well. I can cast a shit load of firebolts and fireballs (or ice/lightning if its a fire resistant enemy) now due to the half mana perks and other various skills. I have something like 320 magicka due to leveling and gear that I've made myself and enchanted.

My biggest problem is that there are too many cool things to do so I end up splitting skills between forging, enchanting, alchemy, destruction, conjuration, one handed weapons, and light armor which means none of them are really high. My lowest is light armor at like 23 because I rarely actually get hit due to my conjurations. My highest is forging at 55 and destruction at 58.

scew firebolt and switch to lightiningbolt - its like a railgun from Quake. you really feel like a Sith casting this.

[alway]

Firebolt has higher damage output against most enemies what with both the burn damage and bonus against undead.

Also, I now have 48 hours played and still only part way through the main story line with only a few side quests areas done. This game is awesome.

Some thoughts mirroring mine on the Skyrim UI and why it sucks.

Can't stay and discuss it, too busy playing.
