What difficulty do you guys play?

50% most of the time, if I'm fighting a moded boss 1% if I'm high lvl with moded gear 100%.

I'm playing with a couple of companions, but face off against opponents that have improved spells and magicka, plus 60% difficulty. Battles tend to be...exhilarating.

On my own I have almost always only been able to survive initially in the game with range or magic. I haven't had the opportunity to really try out some of the great looking companion mods out there. Once I hit around level 5 certain enemies are easier to battle but then when you hit about level 15-25 when creatures/enemies start to plateau the character tends to last longer.

 

I have found that if one insists on melee head-on it becomes a jump in, strike, retreat a yard or two, exercise. Especially at the beginning this has held true due to the fact that one hit from most melee enemies wipes out at least half or more of the player's health.
