What level were you when you finished the game?

I found that I could save right up to the point before I grabbed one
and get different outcomes when I reloaded. I wouldn't be anywhere
without my feather-enchanted ring, and it took several attempts to get
the right stone.

I was level 29 when I finished the main quest. I love to explore, so my
characters tend to go off on tangents a lot. For a long time, however,
I didn't let her level until she was comfortable with the level of the
monsters she was fighting. That seemed to work well for me, and I'm
guessing that was what the designers had in mind when they eliminated
the need for your character to sleep (except for leveling).

Have to say, at a certain point during the Main Quest things became
much easier for my character, due to acquisition of a certain spell.
Almost too easy. Even so, her combat capabilities and equipment were
good enough that my character didn't have much trouble with the final
task of the main quest even without using the spell. I'm guessing the
worst time to finish the main quest is at the point when the top nasty
monsters first start appearing.

I am thinking, that maybe she should have saved the main quest for
last. Everything seems a bit anticlimactic now. She's finishing up the
Fighter's guild and Dark Brotherhood quests, having some fun with the
reward from the final Thieves' Guild quest reward, but she doesn't have
anything she can possibly do with the heaps of booty she's accumulated
so there's no real point in accumulating still more by delving into the
many still unexplored caves and ruins. Toying with the idea of trying
to get her a copy of every book that appears in the game. Otherwise,
I'm probably going to let her retire soon, at least until the first
expansion comes out.

The enchantments from the Sigils vary with your level. The one I got
with the strongest Sigil at level 30+ was probably about as good as the
most powerful mage version of the spell...

That's where I was before I decided to start a new character. I think
the poster here who had a character searching for a particular book had
the right idea - give the character a definite goal aside from the
quests.

When I started my second character, I decided her goal was to get to
100 in Mercantile and buy into some shops for her retirement

Well, getting up in Mercantile would SEEM to be a snap, right? After
all, buying and selling is one of those things everyone does, right?
Weeeeeelllll, let's just say that without buying and selling individual
arrows or alchemical ingredients, going up in Mercantile as a goal in
itself is...well...fairly difficult in practice

And boring.

Very boring

There are spells that do a one-time damage of a
certain size, and other that does
it over a certain timespan. These last ones are
often overlooked - at least by me -
so a 30 pt damage might very well be 90 pts or even
150pts damag if done over
time
