The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced

Enchanted a Bow with soul trap. Hopefully it should work well for filling gems if you use it for hidden one shot kills! :D
 
I'm getting bummed by various quests... does this game work like WoW or similar where sometimes you just need to level a bit before you can complete them?

a lot of the end bosses are difficult if you aren't kitted out to handle it. For example, a nasty magic using end dungeon boss will annihilate you if you don't have magic resistances.

Levelling a little more helps for perks too, but you don't need to grind for hours to complete them.
 
I thought the quest content scaled to your level, but in some cases you may just need better gear/perks before you can complete a quest without too much grief.
 
I assume it's like Oblivion, the level of the enemies in any area is dictated by the level you are at when you first enter it.

So going back later at a higher level would help if you are stuck.

Depends on your style of play. Sneak bow attacks can overcome just about anything no matter how powerful. Illusion magic seems to be able to handle almost anything that isn't undead, daedra or automaton (till you get the lvl90 perk). Regular destruction magic will struggle without Impact and still suffer against multiple enemies. Regular melee combat will suffer till it has the armour rating to give it some durability and magic will be a problem without resistances.
 
Getting tempted to start a primarily magic character.. i started dabbling in magic once i joined the mages guild but i feel my character isn't really good at anything in particular now.. i have 2 handed, archery, 1 handed and destruction going on at the same time.. along with alchemy, sneak, alteration, lockpicking and smithing.

The problem is then also i seem to have dabbled in light and heavy armor so neither are really offering enough protection close up. It has meant i dont really have a strategy when i come to a hard enemy if the terrain cant help me.. i sort of start off hopeful i can use magic when that doesn't work the bow comes out, but then if they start shooting back or run up to me my armor level is just not high enough and i die.

One question i do have is what is the point in all the food and making them into meals.. it seems they quickly became a waste of time as my alchemy improved.. is there no way to improve the effects ?

Sounds like Illusion magic is the way to go at the start.

If you alchemy is high enough the food making becomes pointless. I personally found it pointless to begin with but there maybe some people who had used it initially.
