news Skyrim Requiem mod overhauls difficulty, puts hair on your chest

I wonder how long it'll take someone to start whining/bragging that the mod is too easy because they abused the hell out of Enchanting/Alchemy/Smithing and dual wield swords that do 1,000 damage or whatever the hell.

Skyrim just needs better leveling and it'll be alright IMO. It's hard as hell at very low levels on master difficulty but due to you usually gaining much more from leveling than NPCs/creatures and everyone capping out way earlier than you do it becomes pitifully easy after a bit. By level 81 the only things that could be threats to you are Draugr Deathlord archers and dual wielding Forsworn Briarhearts if you don't keep your distance.

It's silly as hell that, while you can get 80 perks (excluding bonus ones from quests/blessings,) almost nobody besides Bandits and Forsworn gets any perks whatsoever as they level up.

^ Agreed on both counts. I used to fast travel back when I first started playing the game but quickly realised how much more fun it is to just walk everywhere. Most of my more memorable experiences in the game have happened while just wandering Skyrim aimlessly, not from the actual quests.

Potions are ridiculously broken. They could have at least made it so that the game doesn't freeze when you're in your inventory, or so that they take time to take effect. I personally only heal via a healing spell, since at least you can't spam that forever, and you can't freeze gameplay while you're doing it.
