Not going to lie... I'm a little disappointed in the game. Also compared to Oblivion, Fallout 3, or New Vegas, I really suck at this game. I've been dying a lot lately especially when facing more than one person. I'm a Red Guard as I wanted to focus on sword and shield but not only does the shield not seem to really stop much damage but the steel sword I have doesn't do much damage. For instance on my way up to High Hrathgar or whatever I faced an ice troll and I could barely get him to half health before he destroyed me. I ended up just running past him. Then there are other times against a couple mages that just annihilate me with magic while my sword barely does any damage to them in their cloth robes. Just seems like a lot of trial and error of doing a quick save before I know a battle will happen and then finding out how to be cheap just to kill enemies.
