requiem quick checkout

[itsbuffy]

I'm level 6 with a silver longsword and 1 perk in 1 handed so far.

 

Is that normal that it takes forever to kill a regular draugr ? Actually anything undead seem to be roughly invincible. Is that how the mod was intended or does it means its conflicting with something ? If thats how the mod is intended, how the hell am i supposed to do bleak falls barrow ?

Yes, it's perfectly normal, in Requiem undead are actually very strong (Don't even try attacking vampires at a low level). While not impossible it would be hard to clear Bleak Falls Barrow at low levels. One of the best features of Requiem is it's unleveled world. Progress is super slow, but ultimately very rewarding. As you level up there is nothing better that the feeling of easily defeating an opponent that used to one-shoot you at the beginning.

A few tips:

Fire and especially restoration are very effective.

Arrows are super weak, especially in the beginning, but good for luring draugr one by one.

Use the traps around you. In Requiem traps are deadly, use them against the draugr. Killing them with their own traps is most satisfying.

All in all, play smart. Use the environment, be prepared (potions, fire scrolls are great and such). It's normal to clear part of the Barrow now, retreat and then come back later.
