      Actually it does get easier once you reach certain levels, some quest items and rare drops like the mundane ring make the game trivial once you start stacking reflect damage and resist magic. Plus most of your damage starts to show when you actually reach level 100 in certain skills

    The hard part is that enemies get exponentially stronger, whilst almost nothing you do does anything. When combined with weapons stats being static making questing useless. I'm pretty sure you can do literally 0 damage to enemies.

The most challenging and interesting part is to join Mages Guild (no, I avoid Wizard Tower DLC). That said, at 4:00 I started to laugh loud in voice before it even happened :DDDDD
