Yeah, I get that, If I'm playing a mage, the only enchantments I'll use are regen, and by the time I have an uber powerful wizard it gets boring...which means I restart and play something a little harder. About the level/difficulty proportion, Siah, what happens to me is I stay near Whiterun until I'm level 13 or so and take bounties or quests from the locals. I'll have several hours total invested in the character before venturing any further than Redoran's Retreat or Valtheim towers, mostly because the more I travel, the higher risk of meeting a bear or sabre cat; and you don't stand a chance against them until you're lvl 17 almost. I'll often test my character by traveling to Rorikstead (staying on the roads); there's three cats along the way, and they're there no matter what your lvl. So my difficulty is trying to stay close to Whiterun and find enemies I can fight since all others are too strong (for the most part).
By the way, thanks, Sparkz, I found a few minutes last night to play, and decided to turn the hud off. Wow, that's crazy hard, you can't even see what direction you're going, or even what item you're picking up. I'm used to not having a cursor since I turned that off a long time ago, but it still told you what you're aiming at to interact with. Anyway, I wouldn't have tried if you hadn't told me about it, and despite the advanced diff. and disorientation, I rather enjoyed it. Almost felt like Morrowind since there's no compass.
