Skyrim Upgrade :D

[The Valkyrie]

You know you can up or down the game difficulty, even in the middle of a battle?

I know the auto levelling of opponents can be a pain in the arse, but there are benefits.

I had a high level character - 60 + - clearing out an old tomb which was literally filled with druagr death lords and death overlords.  Got my arse handed to me several times, but my skills went up pretty quick fighting them and I was quickly overloaded with ebony weapons.

This is what I did: go back to area.  Get new gear, sell it, buy upgrades.  Go back to same area.  Get new, better gear, sell it for even more money, buy upgrades.  Go back to same area, get glass armor, sell it for big bucks.  Win.

For me, it really destroys the fantasy-- that there's a real world, and  you're in it.  If you go clear out some dingy little cave of lvl 3 mobs, and go back to find lvl 20 mobs jealously defending a campfire and a sleeping mat. . . you gotta wonder what is so special about that sleeping mat.

See, I rarely go back to the same area once I've completed it.

Some quests require you to, especially if you do multiple faction quests.

Right now, with my new character, I'm busy robbing all the houses in Whiterun (and I haven't joined the guild, yet).
