I was sneaking with my bow on a guy with heavy armour and he used magic.
I just stood around the corner and shot hem when turned around and was far enough.
When he just needed 1 hit more, he saw me (my stupid mistake, I quess) and quess what?
He started healing himself
So I had to do it with a normal damage, not the 3.0x sneak bonus. And yeah that can be hard.
And ofcourse he healed a second time. I died almost twice.
I learned I should be patient more, and give him so more time to walk back, so he wouldn't see me.
It was the final guy of that dungeon, I shouldn't be that hard usualy.
I kind of messed up that character, by exploiting speech, and still have a dwarven bow (superior) on level 25.
So I quess I will start a sneaky archer soon, but now I'm playing my battle mage.
I did learned from that! I should be more patient, and NEVER use exploits! Your combat skills are very important in the beginning of the game and remember to make your own armour and weapons.
That way bosses shouldn't be that hard.
Oh another story (sorry I just love telling stories about games I enjoy much)
I did the main quest diplomatic immunity and saved that elven guy who sneaked me in.
So i went into the dungeon/cave whatever you end up before you fully escape.
And there was a troll and that stupid elf attacked him with his damn fist and ofcourse the troll killed him with two hits. I didn't want him to die, he helped me, so I would save him no matter how many times I have to reload my save!
So I quess it took around 8-10 saves. And I decided to stand on the place where the elf jumped down in hope the troll would attack me. Yeah that helped and I killed him finally and the elf survived
How dumb can you be? Attacking a frost troll with your fists? That must have put that in the game for purposes, to make it not so easy
