Gameplay Difficulty, Options

[Lady Saga]

I used to play on Adept myself, but I've dumbed this down to Apprentice after losing a few characters whom I was gaming with; characters with stories, that is. Some of you may be facepalming, "wow...Apprentice sounds like a cakewalk!" but the game still offers plenty of challenge. I basically walk over regular bandits and bandit outlaws, for instance, but pillagers, highwaymen (etc.) are still difficult, especially if more than two show up at a time. I'm much more interested in seeing my character survive and thrive (I am a DiD player) than I am in having a super-challenging game, where every battle lasts a half-hour or whatever.

But if I ever have a character whose game is not being written up as a story, I will switch back to Adept. Just for the extra all-around challenge. Anyways, for now I am Apprentice. How about you?

I am boring. I always keep it locked at the default middle setting for all ES games and never touch it.

Some of mine use potions during combat, but they have to place themselves into a safe location (where they can have a moment away from combat) usually to do so. I usually use a physical hotkey for health potions or a healing spell, and back this up somehow with the Xbox's voice commands.

It's not boring! All my OB games are still on default.
