You haven't given me a reason to hate you yet. Trust me, I could do much better.
I hope you're a nicer girl to your boy or girlfriend.. :S
I'm a PC gamer, and yeah I think you are right about installing mods and keep practicing etc. It's just that the constantly dying and fleeing destroys my gaming experience. But I guess it's just adjusting to that or find an other game.
I actually find this sentiment odd. I stopped having problems with dying somewhere around 20th Lvl, save for really overbalanced fights with several bandit chieftains at once or multiple vampires along with a vampire lord simultaneously. One on one fights, or fights between Dr. D'Irsei and several assailants at once who are not all boss-types? Either balanced and exciting or the Dr. dominates.
If you have a good follower, such as Jordis, Aela, Serana, or Eola, it really balances out fights or makes for some real domination. There are other mods like Amazing Follower Tweaks that allow you to have more than one follower. Up to five. If you can't survive fights at level 25+ with even two or three followers not to mention five of them then you likely really need to reduce difficulty or else look at your armor and the weapons you're using as well as your fighting strategy. Also, whether or not you are enchanting things properly.
Don't have the mods you mentioned. And I feel that a game should be good standing on itself, not completely dependent on fans making improvements.
And those overbalanced fights you mention; I experience those just too often, destroying my experience and throwing me out of my RP element.
But that is me, you finding that odd or not.

This is a very clear indication that TES in general is not for you, so I would have to agree with you. There are games that are encompassed completely within themselves at the time they ship, where anything additional comes in the form of official DLC or official patches. Then there are games that are sandboxes, that very early in their development became a canvas for the love, adoration, and vision of their fanbases.
Elder Scrolls Construction Set has been a part of the TES world almost from the beginning. At bare minimum since Morrowind, if not since Daggerfall. You consider it a weakness - evidence of flawed design. Everyone, and that means everyone else considers it a developer strength. An admission that that there is a compromise that must be made in such an extensive and intricate game between shipping a deliverable product and making that product the absolute bleeding edge bug free pinnacle of development that it could be were the devs to take twice as long to develop as they already do in a long dev cycle.
A developer that has the vision and humility to realize that priorities change for every customer and gives a baseline product that, while never actually needing more than official patches and DLC to operate, allows for customers to customize to their hearts content and proudly make their game install theirs, not to mention offering back to the community with such mods? This is a rare mark of excellence in design and philosophy that most would be lucky to have but that TES buyers such as yourself most assuredly take for granted.
Bethesda with TES, Bioware with Mass Effect, Epic with Unreal, all the way back to id with Doom - the greats have all embraced and celebrated the knowledge that they are not all seeing and all encompassing and that the allowance of modding is not a mark of weakness, it is a mark of humility. And it is the reason why these games are immortal - their re-playability infinite. If you cannot see this then most certainly - your place is with the Bioshock/GTA crowd, where WYSIWYG gaming is at its highest point and nothing about it invites, requires or even allows any of your vision or imagination into the game that you paid for.
Everyone, and that means everyone else considers it a developer strength.
BTW don't speak for other people, it's weak and disrespectful. AND READ BEFORE YOU REACT. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE WHAT YOU THINK IT WRITTEN AND WHAT IS ACTUAL WRITTEN.
I don't have mods installed, have a character of a lower level than yours and I am not experiencing this problem. Try to lower the difficulty. If that doesn't work...well... Then maybe you're just not good at it.
...But whatever it is; you should have fun. That is the main reason to play a game. If it is "too frustrating", stop playing.

I'm up in 600 hours of Skyrim, think I've gotten 9 characters past lvl 50, and I fl*ffing hate the fight-system in the game, clearly, that bandit has some damn strong fur armour if my Stahlrim sword takes 90 slashes to kill him!
I realized that with my ever first character, but it didn't bother me, the best thing you can do, if you want an unmodded Skyrim to feel authentic and real, is you play a stealth character, a 6x backstab usually kills most people instantly.
I've survived in Skyrim for 600 hours, because of the environment, I stopped doing these massive heroic deeds like saving the world from a dragon, that's too cliché, I just had my guy walk town to town, selling pelts, working in the mines, maybe some brawl fights, smith and stuff.. And once he/she had done enough of that, I begun hunting down bandits and other stuff, just to get some sort of action, and I love playing like that, especially with the Dragonborn DLC, making a Dunmer and trying to get money lvl 1 for the ride to Solstheim by thieving is a great time!
So IMO you should try out some other perspectives of Skyrim before flushing it down, since it is more or less a big *ss sandbox, try make it feel like those other RPGs you enjoy more, but that's up to you man, don't play it if you're just gonna throw up
Not being good at something is fine. As long as you enjoy it.

That is by far the smartest thing anyone has posted here! Including me.
You're right, guess I'm just making a too big a deal of this..
Why I play legendary Skyrim with mods that multiple and harder enemies, because then I CAN DIE. Playing without dying is not fun. Too easy is too easy. Its not fun just run around and kill everybody without danger.Not being good at something is fine. As long as you enjoy it.

... But no matter how high level you become, you never get better. I'm an level 65 archer with 93 archery and still need at least 6 headshots to take out a bear. And magic is even worse, the amount of damage you deal doesn't even come close to the amount of damage your enemies do. Even if you are using the same spells. I'm seriously scared of every enemy I encounter, because it only takes them one good swing and bang! .../quote]
