Little did I know it was just a random spawn, although I found much humor in the irony regardless.Last night I faced off against "The Skinner", and it was an impossible battle until I realized I had a hidden power. There is usually some way to even the odds.
I thought dragons were pretty wimpy until one grabbed me, and hurled me skyward. After that, I was careful to avoid their bite/breath and patiently work on flanking them to mangle their wings from the side.
Part of my issue with tactics is that I hate to break character. My vision of this big burly Nord warrior/mage is that he does not sneak, hide, or run away. But, I do choose my battles, and try to get a terrain advantage. Most of my combat is up close and personal, saving ranged attacks for those that attempt to run away.
On my next character, I might go for the more wily and craven assassin/thief.
