First of all, I love Skyrim. I've only had it for a not quite two weeks and already have 80 hours logged lol...
However, I've come to notice two big problems with Skyrim's game balance.
1. Destruction perk "impact".
This perk allows you to stagger enemies when dual casting most destruction spells. However, it allows you to stun lock pretty much any enemy in the game, including dragons. The stun part needs to not happen 100% of the time or not work against certain enemies in order for it to not be over powered.
2. Stacking magic resist makes you invincible against Dragons and Dragon Priests
These are supposed (I think, I'm not done with the game yet) to be the toughest enemies in the game. However, if you have enough magic resist, it's nearly impossible to die (dragons can still kill you if you get too close, but they're pretty slow moving once on the ground and easy to avoid). As a Breton, if you get the Lord stone, Otar Mask (30 res to fire, frost, and shock), and a magic resist ring, you're basically invincible.
I guess the beauty of a game like this is that you don't HAVE to use things that are overpowered. However, between stun lock and being nearly immune to magic, my Breton no longer has any challenging fights.
Anybody know any good mods that address balance issues?
