The first day was around 3 and a half hours total.
Legendary is kind of difficult but I didn't expect all of this lol

Legendary is a bitch. Like all ES games though, once it starts getting easier, it gets really fucking easy. Sneak was the #1 thing that got me through the early stages. Getting in for those crazy multiplier damage attacks and then retreating back with a bow. Pretty much had to avoid every single fight with 2+ enemies, 1v1 combat was all I could handle for awhile.

Literally my problem now. I'm still stuck with an iron sword and I finally finished the daugr crypt. I could not handle anything more than a 1v1 fight even with magic lmao. I basically kited the overlord for 20 minutes until I realized I could run and rest to restore my magicka. It is literally the most fun I've had with skyrim though. When you get even the smallest victory it's just so damn rewarding.

Yep, the beginning is slow as fuck. You need to put in 15-20 hours before it even starts getting easier. In most ES games you're at late game strength and just rolling through people by that mark.

I think I'd kill myself if I did the half weight allowance thing. Nothing pisses me off more than being over-encumbered, at least you can still move in Skyrim when it happens, but I just fucking hate it.

Lmao it was super annoying a couple times, but the good part about it I the fact that I'm not picking things up off the ground so I'm ot really getting much weight.

This episode brought me through the Draugr crypts. I quickly realized that I couldn't even 1v1 anything so I had to figure out a way to run past everyone. I died around 30 times in this video and it drove me insane lmao.
My friends also joined me and I think I might continue with them in there. It's kind of fun!

Playing through on legendary with a sword and board nord, not easy whatsoever. Luckily at level 10 i was able to make full daedric armor by getting conjuration to 90 via soul trap, makes it a little easier, but not a whole lot.

Hit the nail on the head. Once you get through the opening stages, it becomes a choice of tactics rather than panic through fights.

Fallout 4 is the same way. Starting Survival is a bit rough. Gets very easy over time.

@ sopranos the whole playthrough I've been tempted to do those but I can't haha. It keeps track of all that stuff and I want to do this 100% legitimate.

Anton24 I'm still waiting to hit that point lol. I'm s[/MP3]till having to avoid 80% of the 1v1 fights I come across and it's kind of a pain. A lot of places wit necessary materials have groups of enemies I can't even fathom to beat yet. Kind of sucks hahaha.

Here's episode 3 where I finally get the conjuring bow.
