Damage. With a measly 52 armour, and 150 health I die to most things.
Have to summon stuff, trap people with runes and keep my damn distance! The dual casting stagger ability helps with that.
Speaking of destruction perks, Captcha: destruction Teldin...
I don't get it either.

Anything with a sword that gets within pissing distance of me on my mage.
Seriously, something kills my Atronach before my Bound Bow/flurry of destruction magic kills it off and I'm fucked.
Stun locking enemies with spells that cost next to nothing certainly helps however.

I don't actually know. I'm a Nord who uses high destruction shock spells in the left hand and a good sword in the right. I'm immune to frost damage so ice dragons don't bother me. I haven't really run into anything besides the dragon priests that give me much trouble. I don't carry a bow so long range isn't great, but the shock spell reaches farther than a sword. I guess my greatest weakness is Esbern and not being able to fix it from the console.
Maybe that I'm too well-rounded. Because of my indecisiveness about how I want to play, I haven't really focused on one area, so I'm okay in most things, but not outstanding in anything. I'm starting to focus more on one-handed, so I think that'll change. Magic isn't really that satisfying anymore. Maybe once I get the higher level spells, but the lower level ones are pretty dull. Firebolt's okay, but it's a ***** to aim.
im not sure, i tend to sneak around and i have the dagger x15 damage sneak perk, so i basically one shot anything that doesnt see me, and even when they do, i dual weild my dwarven daggers and just dodge and attack, long range enemies arnt much of a problem as i have great archery as well.
i guess i would have to say long range mages though, they fuck my day up everytime

Adean is pretty balanced. I love how great he turned out! But if I had to pick a weakness he's not at all stealth based. He can lockpick well but just about every other thief based skill he sucks at. But I don't care because that's not how I play.
My Nord is pretty weak against arrows for some reason, he's also bad against fire attacks.
I've trained my two-handed all the way to 83, and I always forget to block, so my battles are pretty much 'let's see who falls first." Sometimes I die, though when it's more than three on one.

My PS3, the game is horribly optimized, having the nerve to try and explore causes the game to go into fits of FPS drops, wasn't a problem before, but now it just keeps getting worse, I've died 3 times from having the game freeze up only to drop me off a cliff
On my last character it was magic-users. For some reason I would just get my ass handed to me whenever I came across them. Now I created a new character, a Breton Warrior, to off-set that problem. With the Breton's 25% magic resistance and the shield ability for 50% resistance, I'll be a god
Low magicka: I can't heal well after a big brawl.
The counter to it is that I'm currently playing an Argonian, so I can use Histskin if things get way too tight. (I feel like alt-itis is setting in though)

I had a similar problem with my first character, except instead of "well-rounded" I'd say "spread too thin". He's got skills spread out over one-handed, light armour, destruction magic, restoration magic, speech, archery, alchemy, sneak, lockpicking and pickpocket. I made him to be a thief, pretty much, and spent most of the 30-odd hours I've spent playing him pickpocketing, burgling, and so on. Which means that at level 34 I'm wandering about with about 70K in gold but will get taken down by Draugr easily, as in melee combat (as well as ranged, and magic is even worse) I get owned.everythingbeeps said:
After getting pissed off about being incapable of doing a simple dungeon, I rolled a new character last night. Orc, specialised in one-handed, block, smithing, enchanting and heavy armour. All of a sudden, the game is a cakewalk, and I can smash the shit out of any uppity fucker who looks at me funny. Never even cast a spell. The lesson here is that focused characters are excellent, whereas experimental characters get buttfucked a lot
I quite enjoyed magic, but I think to do it properly I'll have to create a mage-only character. This is, in fact, the plan as I'm using specific characters for specific things - my first character (sneaky Argonian) was for the Thieves and Dark Brotherhood stuff. Barely touched the main quests. My second (Orc tank) was for the main quest, the Companions and the Legion. My third, a mage of as-yet-undecided race, will be for the College and Stormcloak stuff, and likely the main questline if I spend too much time goofing off and killing people as the werewolf Orc.everythingbeeps said:
Those dragon priests.
I had just finished off a dragon, which was no problem because I just hid behind a pillar and shot at it (not very glamorous, I know), and was approaching the dragon wall and a dragon priest rose out of a coffin thing. I can't do the same to him because he moves fast and sends off fireballs, and I tried wailing on him with dual maces, nearly got blasted to bits, so I collected the new shout and leaped upon my horse and, dodging his fireballs, galloped away to safety.
From then on, I vowed to run away from every suspicious dragon wall I come across

Ithan, the Breton battlemage has few weaknesses, once you take into account his Legendary Blades armor, Dawnbreaker, and mastery of the arcane art of Destruction. He is somewhat miffed that his shouts seem to do less and less as time goes on.
But it's all right, Lydia is there to help him in full dragon plate, and he is thane of every town in Skyrim. Life is good.
