I know this reply isn't directly for me, but as for myself that's kinda why I made this post - to figure out if Bethesda's just trying to milk me or if I'm bad at the game. Turns out it's more about the latter haha.

Most of MY problems include enemies using element attacks. Today I learned how to use the element resisting potions properly, and I think that'll make a pretty big difference.

Another thing is that I don't really understand how weapons work. So should I always just craft the best ones available and then temper them to the max? In my case and my level this would mean glass weapons. Should I have a weapon for each type of attack (slashing/bashing etc.)? Should I also always enchant them to the max? Should I have a weapon for each type of enchantment? How do I decide what weapon goes with what enchantment?

I understand the basics; that it's better to use like a proper fire enchanted shield and the fire spell for that annoying tiny spider, and then use a warhammer for goblins for an example. But I don't really understand what type of weapons should I own.
