Deleted58783396User Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 just to to clear, are you saying, you are finding the game too difficult on an unmodded game, even on novice difficulty ? if so their is something seriously wrong there, as vanilla skyrim, on novice difficulty is extremely easy (this is the general consensus, not just my opinion). as the in-game difficulty simply translates to damage multipliers (literally, that is all the in-game difficulty does). novice difficulty: you do 3 times damage to enemies, and they only do 0.25x damage to you, meaning you could play completely naked with default health and punch everything to death with absolute ease. even dragons are a complete joke on novice diffiiculty, let alone any enemy weaker then them. if that is the case. then if you want easy mode, where it is almost impossible to lose, then continue reading into the spoiler Game Winner - (Easy Mode) you will want to spec into, sneak, and marksman (archery) and one-handed weapons, you will also want to either play naked (lol) or light armor now, your primary weapon will be bows or crossbows, and secondary weapon will be one-handed weapons (preferbaly daggers, due to the insane sneak attack damage you can get with them when speccing into sneak) your primary perk tree you will want to spec into will be Sneak, your primary focus will be the right hand side of the sneak perk tree (maxing sneak perk tree will be the end goal, and will make the game insanely easy, to the point you can sneak up to anything with absolute ease, and do massive amounts of damage to them, to the point of 1 shotting everything, at any distance) all you need is an ebony bow or better, as well as high damaging dagger (ideally the blade of woe, awarded far into the dark brotherhood guild) <-- these requirements are for maximum damage output, they are ofcourse not nessarary to do massive damage specced into sneak, you can get by with any bow and dagger, but for 1 shotting potentional you will want the 2 weapons mentioned, however these are for the most powerful of enemies. should also be noted that these 2 weapons can be gotten pretty early depending on how you play the game, as in the quickest way to get them will be doing the dark brotherhood questline as soon as possible, and going into that 1 tomb i mentioned as soon as you meet the required level for the draugr deathlord to spawn, as that will be the earliest you can get an ebony bow (that i remember). the tomb is a high level tomb, which is why it is possible to get a powerful bow earlier then their actual spawn level. you can get an ebony bow pretty early, by going into Volunruud tomb i believe its called (been a long time since i played skyrim, but its the tomb where you get eduj and okin, its near the bandit camp that is fairly close to whiterun) i forget what level you need to be, but a draugr deathlord will spawn with an ebony bow, in that tomb. (something like level 12 or something) Ebony Bow + Blade of Woe, with a maxed out Sneak tree, will result in massive damage to anything that does not detect you (with a maxed out sneak tree, it is extremely difficult for an enemy to detect you whilst you are sneaking, basically granting you the ability to 1 shot almost everything), with a maxed out sneak tree, you can literally sneak up to anything, and 1 shot them, with the massive sneak attack bonuses you get from speccing into the sneak tree. Example: Speccing into the Sneak tree results in, Daggers doing 15x sneak damage (insane damage) and bows doing 3x sneak damage (a fully upgraded Ebony bow, is enough to do massive amounts of damage to anything, granting very quick kills. combine that with ebony arrows, and you are laughing your ass off) fully upgraded blade of woe with 15x sneak damage will pretty much 1 shot anything. now include all of that into novice difficulty, and it is basically cheating. impossible to lose. this type of setup is easy mode even for legendary difficulty. Also i strongly recommend playing as an orc, for even higher potentional damage output, becuase of their berserker rage power, which is imo the best in the game, double damage whilst only taking half damage is a blessing, combine that with the setup i mentioned, and you will have the tools to very quickly kill absolutely anything. Berserker rage + Maxed out Snake tree + Maxxed out Archery and One-Handed Weapons + Fully Upgraded Ebony bow and Blade of Woe, and you will annihilate the most powerful of enemies on any difficulty., such as legendary dragons, Dragon priests, etc etc. only use berserker rage for the most powerful of enemies. probably wont even be needed.. ever. with all of that said, the 2 mods you have that will increase the difficulty further are as follows: Skyrim Immersive Creatures (adds many new enemies, which will be more powerful then their lesser counterparts) Diverse Dragons Collection (adds many new dragons that will be more powerful then their lesser counterparts) other mods that may be challeging, will be the patrol mods you have (assuming these are enemy patrols.)

Mercury71 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Skyrim Revamped increases difficulty. Adds better AI and more agressive mobs. "Enemy Overhaul focusing on enemy variation and hard boss battles." With the mods adding more enemies... it will be harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowySchemer Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Also I see that you have YASH2 in there. It drastically increases difficulty, no matter what the in-game difficulty is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuagaarWarrior Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Immersive patrols and immersive creatures will add more enemiesSkyrim revamped and YASH will make the game harder. Also...Timing is Everything...have you converted that to SE as it's an Oldrim mod. If you have then fine. If not, it could cause issues in the future. I assume this is just a list of your mods and does not represent your load order. If it is your load order then use LOOT on it Edited February 11, 2019 by QuagaarWarrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
