Ah about wooly mammoths and giants. I had been warned against them, how powerful they are.. So when I first encountered them, at level 5 or so, outside of white run and I had not faced any dragons yet... I just had to kill them.
First attempt I got launched into the air and died before I landed. However, after that I was prepared. I did run and gun, using land obstacles nearby for a tactical advantage in pursuit. I played roadrunner to their wile e coyote. Jumping off small cliffs or run up hills. I even found a small hut near the lunar forge to attack from freely.
Needless to say, after remorselessly hunting down giants and wooly mammoths, dragons were cake after that-- especially the first encounter with scripted help. I wondered why everyone else needed to be there. I had it guys.
However the first time I went to winter haven university, during my orientation tour all the masters of their respective magical schools were outside in the courtyard. I was getting a lecture when screech a dragon came roaring by. I knew it was not scripted as wild dragons attack towns on their own, but by the nine divines would it be cool if it were. The dragon circled over and again, and it was invincible in the sky-- but soon as it perched upon the university archway, fire ice and lighting came shooting from six directions , overwhelmed and roasted the beast.
It fell to a third health and crashed into the courtyard. I saw the arch age summon a dremora lord, the top of the daedra food chain, and the others had flame and ice Atronochs. Only a moment later the second barrage came and finished the beast. I could not have had a better introduction to the university of mages at winter haven than this massive display of power from its professors, all masters of magic. Color me impressed
