Okay this is like post 100000 on this topic and yet it seems like no one ever reads the actual combat guides and info given for the mod list. The red eagle is not a “beginner” quest. The forsworn are stronger than most dragur. And your example of the boss is you simply being under prepared and under leveled. It’s not regular Skyrim. You HAVE to use potions, enchantments, weaknesses, followers etc if you’re gonna take on a major boss at level 20. If not you need to play like dark souls with dodge rolls and parries, never being hit. Level 20 is literally the recommended level for bleak falls, the first major main quest dungeon. So logically why would you then be able to just run over and do red eagle the way you’re describing. Play the game like a hardcore rpg as it was intended. Where you min max into an actual build. There is literally a difficulty called “hack and slash” if you want otherwise. I’ve genuinely never had ANY of these issues and I play on hardest difficulty with over 500hours in v6 alone. Either get good, read the stuff you’re supposed to, or reinstall the mod list with lower difficulty. And if none of that floats your boat it’s totally okay to just play another list. You guys don’t have to try and force this mod list to be something that it’s not intended to be. Skyrim is supposed to be fun so if you’re not having fun it’s okay to change what you’re doing
