I'm finally experiencing the scaling, and it does indeed suck! At first, I thought it was a fine concept.. it'll let me do quests at any level, and it prevents me from outleveling a quest and being forced to play the game in a certain order.
It's just pissing me off, now! When I get my ass kicked, it's not like I can say "oh, I'll come back in another level and when I have a better sword." No, because when I come back, those same damn monsters will be there, but they'll be better too! I had this happen with the Arena.. I'm getting my ass kicked by one certain fight (just got Gladiator) and no matter how many levels or pieces of armor or swords or shields I get, they just get tougher. I tried at level 9 with full steel armor, got my ass kicked. Came back at level 10 with half a suit of dwarven armor and a dwarven longsword. Got my ass kicked just as bad. AAAAGGGH. And I'm too damn stubborn to turn the difficulty down.
Thinking it might be time to resort to some mods..
