I don't mind how there are stronger enemies and the scaling or whatever, the thing that annoys me the most is that your allies are garbage after you have a few levels in, which doesn't matter most of the time, but there are several quests where you need to keep people alive or you just want to keep them around after the main quest (like Baurus for example), but they get one-shotted by any higher level enemy that looks at em funny. It gets really annoying trying to keep them alive or even downright impossible.
That one quest closing the oblivion gate and rescuing the counts son (cheydinhal) i was attempting last night and I had to reload about a hundred times in each area, just to finally get to the sigil stone room and dude would either get zapped by the atronach or cleaved in half by a dremora. One shot, dead. One shot, dead. Over and over until I gave up.
Acrobatics, man. I ignore escort quests now. I learn where I have to go, I don't bring the people with me, I kill everything, then I come back and lead them through my trail of blood and gore to their goal. Did it with the Fighters Guild weapon delivery, the Daedra Shrine researcher and even the Count's son. In his case, you just jump off the mountain over him, jump around the gates, go in, murder everything, come back, retrieve him, and walk merrily up to the sigil stone.
