The creatures are strangely balanced.

So I'm going to write down from 1 to 10 which takes the most effort to kill:

Dragon-5

Giant-10

Mammoth-10

Sabertooth-8

Troll-11

Bandit-1

Everything else in existence-2

 

Strange. One second I can obliterate a dragon, the vey next second I'm running for my life from a troll...**scratches head in confusion**

It's because you are Dragonborn, not Trollborn...

I laughed for a while with the trollborn joke...

The mighty troll shouts! Spoken in the language of the trolls!

 

"Wat is dragon!?"

"U mad bro?"

"Tro lo loool!"

But still...it makes no sense. Bethesda made a silly

>.> funny how on a scale of 1-10, "troll" is listed as 11.. hmm..

He's right though. It is badly balanced in terms of atmosphere. Just everything can kill a dragon. But let's not make this a complain thread. We have enough about that topic, I think. :)

A 10 for giants? Once you have full unrelenting force, just blast them with that, quaff a potion if you want and bash them while they're down.

I lost the fear of giants when I killed my first in a damage burst of a few seconds while it was scrambling to get up.

 

Dragons are a b.tch to kill if you're melee and they don't land.

For me, dificulty.

 

Dragons: ~9~ (The stars of the show get a nine from me, but as an average rather than a definite score, their dificulty varies enormously)

 

Giants: 7/5 (Very easy from range, very hard in melee at lower levels, fairly easy at high level)

 

Trolls: 4 (Fire, they hate fire, kills 'em dead)

 

Mammoths: 8 (speedy, tough, too stupid to die, long reach)

 

Saberteeth(?): 5(well balanced to fight, gets a little easier every level, still nasty to have one jack-in-the-box on you from behind tho)

 

Bears: 6 (damn stupid things eat arrows)

 

Chaurus: A tentative 5 (they remain something of an unknown quantity, but seem highly durable, I've only fought 2 though, and both were wounded already)

 

FrostBite Spiders: 3 6 and 8(3 for small ones, 6 for normal ones, 8 for giant ones)

 

Draugr: -1 (Knock it over, and stomp it flat!!! hugely satisfying and very very easy to kill)

 

Stormcloaks: -50 (Psh, noobs)

 

Imperials: -51(Psh, noobs, who lose a point for fighting in freezing cold in short skirts and no undies)

 

Rest of the world: ~2~

 

Bandits: -999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999(Minus ninety trillion bajillion point nine) (They never seem to see death comin' for 'em- "wozzat sound ova der... *PEWPEW BOW N ARROWS SNEAKATTACK DEATH OF DOOM*")

 

~#~ denotes an average score given instead of a definite.

I never really saw trolls as significantly tough until one killed my horse. I usually simply rely on summons and firebolts and never noticed that they could kill me in two hits or so since a lot of other monsters could do the same more or less.
