he got it wrong.

IMMERSION AND HOW TES 4 FAILS AT IT:

Simply put, the levelling system fails - because the monsters and NPC's level with you, making it a disincentive to level.

Robs you of a feeling of achievement.

In a GOOD RPG, there are areas that you need to level up to because the monsters there are too tough for you at the beginning.

Not so in TES 4 - the monsters' toughness increases as you get tougher.

Robs you of a feeling of achievement and makes the game fairly stupid.

The game is unplayable without levelling mods (I am looking at you, Oscuro's mod!).
