Well I mean, you can choose not to use the powerful restoration spell. Especially with spell crafting you can create one that’s better tuned to the level of difficulty you like.

I have found that adept gets more balanced as you level up, I’m level 8 right now and I’ve had a few challenging fights. I had to reload before the arena fight with the twin bosmers because I simply cannot beat them. But yeah it is waay too easy at the start, which arguably is when it should be the most challenging.

Expert is just insane. Who ever plays in master really needs to get their head checked, I imagine fighting two enemies takes half an hour of hacking away while chugging stacks of health pots.
