I haven't played this that much - still going back and forth between this and building ships in Starfield (over 40 on my current playthrough). But I've gotten up to level 16 and taken advantage of shit I've seen in YT videos to get some kick ass equipment and higher-than-I-should-have stats. A guy called ESO has some excellent content if you haven't seen it.
Just starting the Kvatch mission. I had completely forgotten that Sean Bean plays Martin. That voice is unmistakable.

Elder Scrolls 4 really isn't even enhanced by the combat. A person could move the game down to Novice, and have arguably more fun with the game than the normal setting.
For instance, on Novice, sneaking up on a bandit and putting an arrow in his head will kill him instantly. Whats not to like there?
All the difficulty settings really govern are health of enemies, and damage they do is increased. There aren't higher volumes of enemies, stringer enemy types replacing weaker ones, or any new gane mechanics.
ES4 is fantastic because of the quests, the exploration, and environmental storytelling.
Combat is slightly improved for the remaster, but it is still very very basic.
Novice difficulty in ES4 remaster is equivalent to "Story Mode" in modern games like Witcher 3, or the Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor games. So if combat is dragging down the experience, just turn that shit down and speed up the process immensely.
It's just a matter of do I want to have to hit this guy 4-5 times, or do I want to have to hit this guy 50 times.
