I'm reading that they did this with Oblivion as well so the modders could fill in the details? Forgive my ignorance, never played the other TES, just read the storylines

Honestly, now that I'm 42 I don't see the problem everyone has with destruction. Of course you can't scale its' damage to heavens and make it OP, but so what? Currently I got me some legendary daedric armor, enchanted each piece with destro cost reduction + whatever felt appropriate to me. Right now I dual-cast spam free incinerates on elder dragons not letting them do a single thing thanks to constant stagger - the kill usually takes 10-15 seconds from the moment dragon lands. I don't have the slightest problem with any other enemy either - spamming free dual-cast expert spells kills things very quickly without letting them attack me at all - and since I wear daedric armour even if some stray arrow does hit me it's no big deal.
Oh, and yes, I do play on master, before anyone mentions it.
Can someone tell me the difference in damage between an ebony sword and a Daedric sword (no gear, # of perks included)? I'm debating if I want to spend 5 perks going to the Daedric tree just for better swords -.- Or, can you even *find* unenchanted daedric swords?
Has anyone been able to make a successful dagger assassin?
It seems like bows are a lot easier to use.
I am a dagger assassin, I'm using Blade of Woe from the Dark Brotherhood questline (In my left hand) and using Mehrune's Razor in my right. It works pretty well, at high levels of sneak you can walk up behind people in a room and take down each one without the others seeing you

Blade of Woe from the Dark Brotherhood is better than most swords, actually. Dagger assassin is pretty easy once you get the Dark Brotherhood gear. Have to sneak around at night to be effective though.Has anyone been able to make a successful dagger assassin?

Bows are easier to use, but they don't have the ridiculously insane damage bonus for sneak attacks as Daggers do.
Once you get to a certain point though, as far as the damage of the bow goes, that doesn't matter much anyway.

Anyone know if you can find Daedric swords? I'm finding Ebony Swords now, but I have my doubts about Daedric...I don't want to waste 4 perks just for two swords -.- Not to mention i'm 49 now, i'm not going to be getting levels fast soon.
Haven't tried dagger assassin yet. Just discovered the delicious utility of putting paralyzing poison on my bow (15 sec duration), hitting that GOD DAMNED PYROMANCER with it, and then running up and beating him into red mush with my maces.
I'm trying it now and it's working really well, much better than with a bow in fact. At first I was afraid to try it as well, playing on master and all.. and my lousy orc bow seems to do so meager damage, even though I'm at 55 archery, level 19. Then I just went and crafted myself two elf daggers after getting that 15x damage perk, upgraded them and went to try it out and was positively surprised.. the stealth DW power attack can 1 shot most of the opponents when the bow only takes like 1/10th of their health away, even as a surprise attack and my 1h skill is only 29.
As for the sneaking behind them part, yes, that can be tricky but I've found out that when in groups or facing me and standing in the light, it works really well if I lure them. Show myself for a second so they come to investigate, hide behind the corner and when they start walking back, jump out and *splat*. Also, when caught or the opponent doesn't die right away, daggers (with some 1h skill) make much better weapons than a bow to finish them off.
On a objective view, Skyrim is a poor console port. The menus are obviously not right, the controls sometimes bugs out. On a subjective view, I'm sorry if this offend someone (not really sorry) but I also think Skyrim was overrated. I have the feeling that the game is really shallow in the mechanics but really long in the features, as in levels, perks, terrain etc. That's why it didn't caught my attention for long. Honestly I had more fun in terraria and Deus Ex
Thank the gods I decided to "test" it first, I almost spent 60 dollars on it because of all the hype it got
