What difficulty do you play on? Options

[Renee]

I started out playing with the Adept (default) setting for my first 6 or 7 characters. With Lord Haaf-Mersey and Mycharonna I switched to Apprentice, rationalizing that I wanted to see both of these characters grow and thrive, so I could continue their stories to completion.

At some point (somewhere around Level 30 or so) I switched both of these games up to Adept. Apprentice had become too easy; I get bored if I pwn everything all the time. But with my two latest games (Uber Kness and Master Baytor) I bumped it up to Adept from the very start. Uber died at about Level 12, but MB is still going strong, even after killing three dragons so far.

What about you?

I agree with a lot of what Acadian, ghastley, and hautee have already said. I play on expert because adept seems too easy, yet master seems needlessly weighted against the player and I don't want to have to glitch/exploit to even the odds… especially early. All of my characters have been played did up until level 25. If they reach that level I figure they've earned their place in Skyrim and I remove the did restriction (yeah, that sounds better than saying that, like Acadian, i've developed an attachment to the character by then and I don't want to see them die ).

Perking one crafting skill is the only limitation I impose on my characters.
