  Yeah me neither, it's a lot of fun but I'll stick to expert most of the time.

  I like to stick on Adept/Expert Difficulty. For some reason it just seems more "realistic" that way.

  So I completed the game in 5 hours, 3 minutes, and 29 seconds completely on Legendary. Here's how I did it...

  I pretty much rolled a rushed variant of my Transient Sorcerer, using Flames as the main offense boosted by Dual Casting, Aspect of Terror, and Augmented Flames 1/2. I also used my own version of the Seraphim's trick of infinite concentration casting, available at Level 2! Basically, by creating a Resto potion with Lvl 20 Alchemy it will have 18% magnitude. Now throw one perk into Alchemist and create another potion of 21% magnitude. Then drink the 18% Resto potion followed by the 21% Resto potion for 24% Fortify Restoration. Next equip an item of Fortify Magicka 30 pts (Novice Hood anyone?) and voila! Infinite concentration casting.

  The second trick I used helped boost my magical defense to great heights. I headed straight to Redwater Den. downed some nappy red skooma, and the vamps threw me in a cage. When I woke up I snagged the Telekinesis tome from the dead dude and booked it outta there. Using Ben C's trick combined with my infinite concentration casting I fast traveled while using Telekinesis on a tomater. Boom! Instant 100 Alteration along with 20 perks, many of which went toward 3/3 Magical Resistance AND the Atronach perk for 55% Magical Resistance with my Bretony blood and 80% Absorption by flicking on Dragonskin. Bring it on Dragon Breath!

  Next trick, straight to Tel Mithryn to glitch through the staff enchanting door and a dive into Neloth's Black Book. A few minutes later I was out of Mora's realm with the Mora's Grasp Greater Power. With this power I could use my Transient Sorcerer's signature move Mirage when combined with the Breton's innate, conjured familiar.

  Last trick I picked up was Klimmek's Supplies which I used to hover above melee opponents and burn them to a crisp if I were forced to fight.

  The hardest parts for me were the first fight with Alduin and the dungeon below the Thalmor Embassy. Alduin couldn't deal enough damage by breath or bite because of my Magic Resistance and high Health pool which was all I allocated with all 21 of my level ups. Unfortunately he has 50% Fire Resistance so the fight took forever! The Thalmor Embassy wasn't too bad once I had a strategy down which involved Flames from atop Klimmek's Supplies! Muhaha!

  I took alot of detours to put this character together but it obviously paid off in the long run. Thanks for the challenge Twisted! Hope someone takes up my stead!

  So that's how you did it. That's a pretty interesting way to go about things especially the whole Infinite Casting thing and we'll all the rest of it.So even with all your detours it took you 30 minutes less and I can't get over that.

  I was surprised too. It was pretty much a mad rush through to the end cuz I knew I'd taken too many detours. I pretty much stole horses at every stable to get places faster lol! #horsethief

  If it wasn't for the Dragon you could have been halfway to Hammerfell. But really how did I forget Horses I was on about 2000 Goldthe whole game and it might have made travelling a little easier.

  I used horses at some points. I find them quite irritating, though. Mounted combat can really use a few tweaks.
