Is this why I always end up a sneak archer?wrote 17 days ago last edited byNo, that's human nature. Turns out stealth archer is just the optimal way of approaching combat for maximum efficiency in any game that lets you do it.

what do you mean by that?wrote 17 days ago last edited byEarly game destruction magic is such a letdown. During my first playthrough I put points into duel wielding fire magic. Enemies would ignore the spire of flame being blown at them and bonk me on the head once for an instant kill.

Some dude just spent four hours killing rats in a sewer and suddenly he finds he can throw fire from his hands, he's probably not going to be that good at it.

If spotted, he must hide, or run, until aggro drops and he can start sneaking again. Chad two-handed weapon user boldly charges in and power attacks anything that moves until all that's left are bloody corpses. When spotted, enemies will rush him, saving him the trouble of having to hunt them down.

I think they tried to make melee on par with ranged magic

Even if they're almost dead and you're at half health.

what do you mean by that?wrote 17 days ago last edited byMagic sucked. Simple as. Destruction magic was weak, expensive to cast, and didn't scale well. Other forms of magic also didn't scale well or were otherwise very situational.

Here, you can levitate and endlessly smoke n'wahs from the heavens. We'll call you [Nerevar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR-K2rUP86M)."

When walking out of Seyda Neen and you see Tarhiel fall out of the sky. When you loot the corpse you find the scrolls of 1000 Acrobatics. Bethesda is telling the player "Break this game when creating spells".

Had to quit two hours in because it was just. Bear. Walk twenty feet. Bear. Walk ten feet. Bear. Turn around to go back to a bed and regain health and mana. Bear. Bears are extremely hard to kill with basic destruction spells.
