The game where you make your character and play the game, only to find a few levels in that you made your character dead f***ing wrong and have to choose between running away every three seconds of combat to let your magicka slowly recharge over the next two minutes or so or lowering the difficulty to nothing, then eventually get fed up with how screwed up the whole thing is, start over, look up a character creation guide, find that it is textbook length, and just give up altogether.
I never had or understood this issue. The game only gets unplayable if you extremely powerlevel only non-combat stats.
The main problem was that leveling was itself highly counter-intuitive. If you did what made intuitive sense (major skills to what you actually intend to do, ie. if you're a swrodsman, major skill to blade), you would level up quickly without actually getting much stronger, and since enemies scale with your level...
New enemies start spawning but the only enemies that actively level with you start appearing at around level 20, at which point your main combat skills are usually nearing if not at, 100. Never in my 10k hours on this game have I ever efficiently leveled and I have very rarely ran into problems. There are still problems sure, the game is far from perfect, but acting like the only way to play the game is by efficiently leveling is just wrong. ---
