What's the greatest weakness of your Skyrim character?

[snagli]

FIRE. Fire, Fire, Fire. As a vampire who doesn't enjoy feeding, I normally have an immunity to frost, but fire does double damage to me. Also, I'm a sneaky thief with a bow, so if anything gets close and my Shouts can't help me, than I'm dead.

 

[Alphieus]

Actual fighting. I'm a rogue. Anything misses the fact that I'm there, it falls over. It decides to hit me? "Run away and turn into a wolf! Shiiiiiiiit!"

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Sul (Mage lvl 16): Anything that doesn't die before it gets close enough to hit me, because I have 0 armor on me.

Deimos (Warrior lvl 10): Being outnumbered and high level enemies.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

I have a dagger in my right hand and normally flames in the other so I rely on sneaking around for x30 damage sneak attack. I biggest problems are the dragons because I have no way to seriously hurt them and mages because they kill me easily.

Spoiler: Slight spoiler for a side questline.

I had the horse shadowmere from the dark brotherhood who done more damage on the dragons then I did. He was sadly killed by a cliff. RIP

 

[Sight Unseen]

My character is a dark elf who is a magic elitist and uses magic almost exclusively in combat ( as well as one handed to use my bound sword). I have put almost all of my level ups into magicka, and as such I have very low HP. Which means that some dragons/higher level monsters, can kill me in two hits. Or... my BIGGEST annoyance of this game... Get that damn kill cam animation on me when I still have 2/3 of my hp left... what the hell Sooo frustrating.

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

Yeah...I had more than one 'Assassin's Creed' fantasy moment of dangling from a rampart and waiting for a guard to walk by while I'm playing my Brotherhood Assassin.

No man, I mean I needed to climb a mountain and the equivalent of that for Bethesda is walking up walls. No epic parkour. Just alot of hopping and sliding Why did I need to do this? Because the dragon I was fighting got wedged between some rocks.

 

[Shadowhawk77]

Everyone is saying how their characters are vulnerable to certain attack types... funny thing is the only thing that can beat either of my characters are mini bosses, not boss bosses, mini only
I can take on Alduin easy (first try) but heaven forbid a priest comes along and messes my day up
*tip of the day*Ive found that if your going sword spell, to stick to fire (not in points but when casting) until you have a higher magicka or you can run out fast, then do what you want when you get the magicka you need to have prolonged fights

 

[damselgaming]

The same weakness as me, tough looking manly Nordic men, so many marriage choices! Damn you Ralof!

... Unless this is totally about combat weaknesses not character weaknessess...

 

[A Free Man]

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).

Hehe your weakness is me. I will find you now! Sleep with one eye open

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I'm a stealthy bow user with light armour so I'm vulnerable to lots of melee in close quarters if I'm discovered. Recently got a couple of things that will let me 'vanish' so it's all good.

yeah same here. I'm constantly backstabbing or sending arrows into heads and if i'm caught i always forget to run like hell. To me Skyrim is the return of Thief[tm], but in open world. Love it

Exactly this, since there arent any Sniper Rifles, I picked archery.

Flame Atronach (are there any other colors?) and Fire spells. Together with my trusty Bow of Soul Tap (or whatever its name is).

If you're a conjurer and an archer, I cannot recommend you enough to get the bound bow spell ASAP.
I'm serious, it's stupid powerful. And you don't even have to worry about ammo.
A critical hit easily takes out half of a generic dragon's health for me.
A sneak attack can outright kill a regular dragon, though those are rare for me now.
I usually encounter elder and ancient dragons now, and they can still take a beating.

Also, as for atronachs, there are flame, frost, and storm, in order of power.

I am still leveling my Conjuration, it isnt going as fast anymore as it was a few levels back ;p. I just took the triple multiplier in the sneak tree for bows. And found a Glass Bow, transferred the Soul trap enchant and I had an upgrade of 10+ damage .

I will have a look later today for that bound bow spell. And I havent encountered any other Atronachs yet . Besides the A.I for the flame one is a bit sketchy.

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

Low moral-fibre. I steal everything that isn't nailed down, which results frequent over-encumberment and many arrests.

So you're two or three mages? Okay, I'll be nice and worried.

 

[Zaik]

My character has no way to do decent ranged damage. I've got a daedric bow and plenty of glass arrows, but it's nothing compared to my melee damage.

 

[justnotcricket]

Mages. Seriously, why are they so damn strong? It's like they all have unlimited health and magicka. If I don't manage to nail them before they see me with an arrow (my usual tactic), then getting melee is a struggle. They move super fast, have massive range, apparently unlimited magicka and seem to take way too many two handed sword attacks to the face before gonig down. Perhaps my tactics are wrong. Perhaps the difficulty is set too high. Who knows. Mages just seem overpowered in this game.

For the record: I'm a Bosmer archer/sneaky lockpicker/two handed sword for melee character. Why the Zweihaender? Just because I could, really =P.

 

[vivster]

hm... don't really know
as an archer with good health and stamina with a big potion pouch nothing really is a thread since most enemies fall even before they know i'm there
but i guess i'm most frightened of close quarters...

for my mage it is shock magic since she hasn't acquired many potions yet

 

[William Ossiss]

For my assassin argonian, getting discovered. When the going gets tough, i use my shadowcloak of nocturnal to make myself invisible whenever i go into sneak, or the shadow stone power. only bad part is that both are only usable once a day, so after that i either have to run like hell or pray my mehrunes dagger will get that very lucky insta-kill. Though it is usually hard to get spotted when i have the throw voice shout and some frost runes... luring people into traps has never been more fun!

For my imperial warrior, not much. With my shield perks, my heavy armor perks, and my one handed perks, i can usually smash my way through most anything. Though, when an ice user gets in my face and starts blasting away when im at low stamina, it gets brutal. I usually have to make sure i stock up on health potions and stamina potions before i venture anywhere. When i run out, though, it gets hard. I can recall many a time i have given up on a dungeon halfway through because no matter what i try, i just can't make any progress.
