I just finished getting my first character to lvl 89(i jump around on my characters)

pretty much all the smithing and enchantment perks, anyway, my smithing was at 500 and i had just found a mod for a cool sword, i upgraded the sword and KABLAM, it was at 1379 dmg, LOL, i didnt even know you could break 999.

since my longterm player/followers have leveled up i've forcefully removed anything/everything (weapons/perks/enchants/stats) that

can inflict more than approx 100 damage. one hit wins quickly become non-challenging, boring, zero fun.

seems anything greater than this is overpowering and ruins balanced combat gameplay as intended/designed by Bethesda.

of course its hard to discipline yourself with all the methods available in Skyrim to create the deadliest weapons and accumulate crazy skills,

but less seems to be more playing this RPG.

Im not really bothered about levels, its a single player game so nobody sees your achievements anyway and reaching the level cap is just time wasting and making you more overpowered.
