    [​IMG] Okay here is the thing...

    I am now 34th level, use Goldbrand, have largely maxed out attributes and can kill an uber troll in two hits.

    I am looking for a challenge.

    I have done numerous Oblivion gates, most dungeons (caves, Forts etc) and I am head of all four guilds.

    I have yet to do the main quest beyond Kvatch but other than that I believe I have done all the difficult things that the game has to offer!

    Any suggestions?

    (This is not a "look how tough I am" thing, I honestly want a challenge to take on.)

    Hmm... Max out your difficulty then attempt to compleat all the Daedric quests. I don't know if that will be dificult, but is should keep you occupied.

    Challenging things to do... Done the Arena yet? The enemies in that are suppost to be leveled.

    There might be some mods that can increace difficulty, but other then that I realy can't help. Sorry.

    Finish all the Daedric quests

    Finish all the pilgrimages to wayshrines and doom stones

    Finish the nirnroot quest...that's bloody hard to do!

    There's plenty more but off the top of my head, those are a few things you can do in Oblivion that are not very easy!

    Hard? No. Boring, time consuming and tedious? Yes. Don't even bother with it. If you want to do it find the locations in an Official Game Guide, cause most of the time the only way you find the blasted things is by chance.

    Oh yes. Get the expantion "Shivering Isles".

    uber troll? what's that? anyway, not much of a challenge i guess

    try goblin warlords

    i kind of wonder if you have actually fought through oblivion gates because these places seem to have the most challenging battles, usually 3-4 enemies vs. you

    i'm not very far in shivering isles yet but i can tell that the enemies tend to be stronger and tougher than the ones in cyrodiil

    and btw, no more rats and mudcrabs! oh the joy!

    Since I like to explore I had no problem with the Nimroot quest and the things turn up in some interesting places.

    Oblivion Gates can be quite challenging. I have no idea how many random gates there are but I have closed something like 40. As you level up so do the monsters and you get different ones. One challenge I set myself was to see how fast I could go through a gate which is also helpful when you do the main quest.

    :lol: Faraaz, you have me beat. I never kept track of the actual time but I know it wasn't that fast.

    At the big Burma Gate (have forgotten what it is called) it takes me about 10mins start to finish simply because I keep forgetting which tower I'm supposed to go in first. :bang: But I have a lot of fun with it trying to better my time.
