Does anyone play in 3rd person view? It looks so much more awesome, but it's just crap to control in my opinion

I'm always in 3rd person (unless im sneaking and trying to headshot an enemy, my model gets in the line of sight), i actually find it easier to control and i have a wider fov.
Like during combat with multiple enemies, i can see exactly where they are all around me

You're only susceptible to silver when in Beast Form, wearing silver armour or using silver weapons does not affect you either. The only disadvantages of being a werewolf are when you in beast mode and can't sneak and loot etc.
Some NPC's will say you smell like a dog though :D

Yep, exactly what i thought.

Its not worth removing the curse then, the disease resistance outweighs the resting bonus, plus changing into a werewolf once in a while is cool, even though my sword does more damage.
 
hmmmmm I must be doing something wrong.......Remember I said yesterday that the game is suspiciously hard for me, but enjoyably so. Level 16 now, and my guy is still a super pansy. Still playing on adept, Got a very good armor rating, got a sword that does 35 base damage with 15 points fire damage, and even the normal wolves I encounter take 5-6 shots with the sword, but they bite me 2 times and I die....... The random Radiant Bounty letter missions "kill bandit leader" the bandit leaders, for me to fight them, I have to chug along LITTERALLY 50-60 health potions just to scrape through. Put it like this, 1 Mudcrab, 1 normal silly mudcrab kills me with 1 pinch of its claws.

I'm actually starting to think It's a difficulty bug in the game, similar to what Morrowind had way back then, and exactly the inverse of what I had in Oblivion.

On Vanilla Oblivion I had a bug where even on the hardest difficulty, using ANY WEAPON in my inventory, spell, arrow, blade, mace etc, would 1 hit kill any enemy I would face. This got rectified by the first patch for me.

I haven't had this issue. I think I'm playing on Adept as well, got my HP up to 200 on level 12 now I think. Heavy Armor with a 80+ rating.

I can take quite a bludgeoning from multiple enemies and still survive with lots of HP.

But that mud crab killing you with 1 shot? Something definitely dodgy there...

That sounds like a bug :-/
 
Im on lvl49 now and I'm having the opposite issue xD Things are way to easy to kill now. Doesn't feel as challenging as it was when I started...

Mine is getting there as well and Im only lvl 39. I may just bump up the diff to adept. Funny thing is I still die really easy from full frontal attacks (had a bandit chief one hit me with his Ebony Battle Axe) but most things die one shot when I hit them with either my arrows or dagger, while sneaking. When not my Ebony/Deadric dual war axe combo takes them down in a couple of hits.

Yip everything just dies now when I walk into a area xD
Will bump up the difficulty and see if it makes a lot more difference.

Something is definitely wrong there, i'm playing on adept and i was running around killing crabs and wolves with ease at level 5...


Just check whether you have a disease or are poisoned, that could be the only explanation apart from a bug.
 
Also try changing your difficulty to a higher / lower setting. Save. Quit. Load. Set difficulty back to where it was.

Maybe the game put you on some other difficulty level or did you install one of those mods that might make the game super hard?

I actually tried the Difficulty thing, but not to that extent. I lowered the difficulty to the very lowest, saved, quit, and reloaded, same thing persisted. I just gave up and tried my first game of BF3.

Will check tonight again, maybe going to do a fresh install.
 
Nice article and quite true some areas are insanely difficult, but the adept setting is just what the doctor ordered.

If it gets too easy which I doubt, I will scale it up a notch.

Speaking of notch, I found the Notched Pickaxe in Skyrim, on the top of the toppest part of the tallest mountain. Now I can get rid of my other pickaxes!
