What's the greatest weakness of your Skyrim character?

[Genericjim101]

Mages! I have a stealth character with light armour, Arrows, a bit o' one-handed. Need moar defense.

 

[NickKuroshi0]

magic ward skills Im a mage so whenever I try to confront the dark mages to get some stoen books they use ward and make my spells useless

 

[Denariax]

The fact that he does not exist and will not exist until there's an MLP mod where I can ride up mountains on Rainbow Dash

Low magicka: I can't heal well after a big brawl.

Have you noticed that, if you're not making your own, health potions are pretty rare? That is to say, they're everywhere, but if you rely on them and tend to take damage a lot you burn through them insanely fast. Merchants only carry a couple, and if you're not into stealing you're pretty much limited to what you find in dungeons. I had a lot of hairy moments with my first character where I'd run out mid-brawl and end up a smear on the floor.

The counter to it is that I'm currently playing an Argonian, so I can use Histskin if things get way too tight. (I feel like alt-itis is setting in though)

My major problem with combat in Skyrim - and yes, I'm aware this is my problem and not Skyrim's - is that there are just so many options. I played an Argonian, and so had Histskin, but in the frantic melee I'd often forget it. I also had a Spectral Assassin and Flame Atronach I could summon, a variety of Thu'ums, a shit-ton of poisons and helpful potions yet 90% of the time I would be either running away while hurling flames behind me or hacking wildly at something, and wouldn't have time to take a breath and consider my options. After a fight, I'd think "Hey, that would have been really useful", but there's so much stuff you can do that I have trouble remembering it all when someone is trying to remove my head

Mages with powerful fire attacks are a fucking pain. Especially at night because they essentially blind you if they're streaming it in your face - and when your main weapon is a bow, sight is somewhat of a necessity.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

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

Sinestro the dark elf (and his racial 50% fire resistance) laughs at you.

My weakness? Magic. The second someone starts throwing lightning or frost spells around and I find myself with no stamina or magicka, I might as well just reload. My block isn't high enough to get me elemental resistance yet... Having fire breath as a thu'um helps a little to shut mages down, though.

 

[SergeantAnt]

Absolutely nothing :3.
Nord warrior with 330 health, steel PLATE armor(100 armor for one piece, yes please!), duel wielding 36 dmg swords, and i'm only level 21.
63 in heavy armor and 67 in swords! Oh and 40 in restoration. I'm practically unkillable

The only thing i've found that i cannot kill is that dragon priest just north of whiterun. Yet someday i will

 

[Galite]

Arrows. Only arrows between my destruction spells costing 2% of their original and elemental protection mages and melee characters don't pose much of a threat but if I don't throw up my mage armor there are a fair number of enemies can 1-2 shot me with arrows.

 

[Omega07]

Anything that wields stuff bigger than an infant... i mostly use my bow, and occasionally i use 2 swords... i have no defensive strategies whatsoever...

 

[Alrocsmash]

My 445 armor, 300 hp orc war with full legendary dragon armor and a legendary battle hammer with 50% dmg reduct because of my racial is immortal. Pop a resist pot of whatever dmg the enemy has, and you're golden. My sprint crits 1 shot EVERYONE that isnt a named/boss. Also my 30,000 gold keeps me well fed with strong health potions.

 

[krugerrand123]

Any type of long range ice magic, my character does not have any good long range attacks, so I die before I get close to strike.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Nothing.

I soak up monster loads of damage with 70 heavy armor and 78 block, or I can throw my nightinggale armor on and sneak around with 89 sneak and 100 one handed with a dagger that does 57 damage + 20 with a x15 backstab. If all that doesn't work, I'll just use my 60 destruction.
edit: Forgot to mention 78 Marksman.

Not to brag or anything >.> (Min Maxing is OP)

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

i'm pretty well rounded for my character, but i would say a strong ass melee attack would do me in, i usually dual wield my swords and then have good cold/spark magic to back me up if i run out of stamina for that, but that basically leaves not much defense...

so basically i go in, and i go in HARD, if that fails..you usually see me flying down the mountainside in fear.

 

[Somebloke]

Boiled creme treats. Nom.

 

[Magnikai]

Groups. My spells suck so I can't dps them down fast enough before they stab me in my 120 health face.

Isn't having a bow at night a pain in the arse anyway, regardless of the magical napalm? Maybe it's just my shitty eyesight, but when I've busted out my ranged attacks in the darkness I have trouble hitting anything more than a foot away, and I've already turned the brightness up to near-maximum so I wasn't wandering blind in the dungeons. I died once because, instead of taking down a gang of bandits, I was apparently relentless firing Soul Trap arrows at a dangerous-looking bush and letting the bastards get right up close to me and stabba my face.

Oh, and while I'm griping about archery: fuck dragons. I can't count how many arrows I've wasted because every time I get one of those flying cunts in the crosshairs he breaks off and goes the other way!

 

[teebeeohh]

lightning spells
i rely heavily on magic to support my melee fighting and don't have a lot of magicka(but high regeneration) so if i find myself without magicka in a prolonged fight i die. unless i have lots of potions.

 

[Tiger Sora]

3+ enemies with two hand weapons. If I get caught and they all start charging it's tough to win. Mostly I have to run away.
