Yes, yet another Skyrim thread, but I hope this one is at least a little different. I've seen a lot of threads about what you've named your character, how you fight with your character, and what kinds of weapons you primarily use, but what is the greatest weakness of your character?
For me, it would probably be long ranged magic. I fight with a sword and shield type, and I don't currently have the perk that lets me block elemental attacks.

Your turn :)


Edit: I figured I may as well make this thread more accessible. For those of you who haven't picked up Skyrim yet, what's the greatest weakness of you OBLIVION Character?

My Orc Mage still has 100 Health (at level 33) Okay, he has buffed it with some Items to 150, so he is pretty vunerable if he gets attacked. But he is an Orc so he strikes first... :)

For my stealth assassin Khajit it is: Anything that can attack me after killing my summoned people.

For my Eddard Stark it is: People with shields who block and only block and mages who dont die straight away

Hmm... probably conjuration mages. That way I end up dealing with their destruction magic (though the mages themselves tend to fall to my sword easily enough) plus their creations. Really it tends to be an issue if they're actually in good cover and my route to them is blocked by autronauchs (or however you spell it).

Frost Magic. Stops me from getting to the enemy for a melee kill and makes aiming hard what with all the spell effects in my face.

Because I'm a vampire, that would be fire. In a game about dragons, this isn't a particularly helpful weakness.

Mages with good health.
Dammit I have no elemental resistance stop zapping me.
EDIT: Also the fact that he's a whore for looks. I want to use this Dragonbone helmet but... it looks so silly!

Physical damage as a mater of fact, if I survive more then two attack after eachother it´s only because I healed in some kind of fascion.

Enchanting away magic,fire,light and ice damage is easy but I haven't stumbled across anything that makes me take less physical damage(and having 400 in armour isn't helping either).

Ranged mages.
Luckily, too many of those morons use frost magic, so my nord can sprint up and hack their face up.

I live in an alternate universe where I never bought Skyrim and so he was never born.

I'd say not existing in this universe is a pretty big weakness.

Walls. He can't scale walls. I can kill everything. But those mountain walls...

Lightning magic :mad:. I can't heal myself and I can't use fireball spells either :mad:. I have to keep using potions until I kill the bastard ¬.¬. It's a real problem when it's a dragon priest using lightning :(.
two handed bosses but I think everyone has some sort of problem fighting them when they take down more than half your health at once.

other than that nothing, I destroy elder dragons, blood dragons etc. Draugr deathlords nothing like that is an issue until lightning magic and two handed is brought into the question :/

My greatest weakness is over-powered two handed brutes who run faster than I do and have more health than a train made out of 12-inch steel.

this, i tried to destroy a whole nest on steam spiders and spheres, and i got my ass handed to me. Even with werewolf powers, they just take so much damage to kill!

Pretty much what my problem is.
However, my chances of winning increase if there is a group of brutes, since I am skilled in Illusion magic. Then again, if those warriors are undead, I am pretty much dead if I don't find a way to exploit traps or something of the sort.
