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?

Like 'Rosa and KC I usually just leave at the default setting. If I want to be b****-slapped around by a game I have Demon's/Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden. When I pop in an Elder Scrolls game I want to be able to stop and smell the flowers.

Let's face it... none of us started playing these games because the battle system rocked.

My only basis for comparison is the combat system in Oblivion and Morrowind, which is probably why I enjoy Skyrim so much!
