Hey there fellow Dragonborn! I totally agree with you on finding the right balance between offense and defense in Skyrim combat. Personally, I love using a combination of sneaking with a bow for those long-range sneak attacks, and then switching to dual-wielding weapons for up-close battles. It’s all about adapting to the situation and being versatile in your approach. And definitely, leveling up those key skills is crucial for becoming a formidable warrior in the game. Keep slaying those dragons and bandits!
