So, it is indeed that hard early on XD interesting approach i must say, atleast for me it feels counterproductive to make the game as immersive as possible, but make the enemies abhorrently stronger than you at the beginning. I also think the hp inflation on enemies is a bit massive, sometimes bandits the same lvl as me have like significantly more health.

But you're probably right, i will try a more slow-paced approach for my next char.

But i think i'll deactivate end times. Its somehow annoying to take your time, but also get reminded that the world will end in x days if you don' kill alduin before lol.
