What about this game's difficulty ?

[Raven Mocker]

The game is really great and all, but what is going on with the difficulty level? Adept is rediculously easy, I am just lvl 10 and I feal unstoppable, and when I pop it up on expert, poof, nighmare mode on.

this is my only issue with the game right now, i hope they add balance patches or modders save the day, until then im not touching the game again

[Everest]

there is a mod on nexus balancing the difficulty gap.

This is why:

Novice: Damage taken x0.167, Damage dealt x6.0
Apprentice: Damage taken x0.286, Damage dealt x3.5
Adept: Damage taken x1.0, Damage dealt  x1.0
Expert: Damage taken x3.5, Damage dealt x0.286
Master: Damage taken x6.0, Damage dealt x0.167

[Knavenformed]

Yeah I'd love a middle point too, it's way too extreme to jump to Expert.

At least if it was just damage taken it would be fine, but it also makes your damage a complete slogfest

There is a mod already. I'm using that for my master playthrough right now, since Master in base game is otherwise near impossible.

same issue here, i'm bored on normal difficulty, hard is a nightmare

Once you go toe-to-toe with high end Daedra, you'll see a difference.

Only way I can see myself doing Expert is if I build a character around Alchemy.

Yeah, I installed this mod. Game now feels balanced better. I recommend it. Installation is easy. Don't need mod manager.

They changed from a slider to echelons to match the difficulties of mods like ooo and moo.

Lol I just went here to write the same thing.

Thank you for the insight. But I have to say then the core amount of damage enemies are dealing is ridiculously low. I just got attacked by a vampire knight and zombie at lvl 4, got smacked down, was able to stand up again, kill both and only lost 20 percent health - in light amor, at Adept difficulty.

[polarnomad]

Yeah, adept is so easy it ruins the fun.

How would that work? By stacking potions with different damage and the same damage?

[NightOwl7]

Which class/specialization and race combo is the strongest in game?
P.S. I am playing as Breton Spellblade.

Just carry around 40 health pots.
Nothing stops you from going into your inventory and drinking away.
