It ' s probably because all those guys are busy in a business meeting . <| sep |> Gestern Paterson gesehen . Es passiert wohltuend wenig . Gleichzeitig anregend und entspannend . <| sep |> There ' s this strong argument that HL 3 could never answer the enormous hype given to it , just like Duke Nukem Forever couldn ' t . Personally , I don ' t even care . Episode 2 NEEDS A SEQUEL . I don ' t care if it ' s not as good as HL 2 or its episodes , but it needs to happen . <| sep |> White Bear . shivers <| sep |> One thing you may not know is how the scaling works . Enemies scale with your level , and not the levels of your skills , so you can end up making the game harder if you spend a lot of time working on noncombat skills . Say you do black smithing and alchemy and enchanting and speech craft and pick pocket everyone and cast illusion spells on townsfolk . You ' ll be leveling up , making enemies harder , but since you ' re not working on combat skills and putting points into those perks , the game is getting harder but you ' re not improving . If you focus a lot on that stuff , it could explain why overlords are so tough . Make sure to keep up with your combat skills . Also , I don ' t always spend my perk points right away . If you ' re close to hitting a level on a skill that will open up a new perk , I hold on to the point and focus on that skill . If it ' s armor for instance , I ' ll just stand around with a resto spell at the ready and let a low level wolf attack me to grind the levels . For potions , health potions are obvious and necessary , but use the ones that seem less obvious . If you fortify your health and stamina and ravage an overlords health then poison him , that battle is going to go VERY differently .
