Yeah...no. I met at least a dozen trolls before 10. I had to FUS RO DAH and run and like hell. Also what difficulty are you on? I played on one less than the highest.

Two over the preset, or something? I'm not at home so I can't check what it's called, but the method really should work on any difficulty.
Dual wielding destruction spells with the Impact perk means permastun, the enemies don't even get to attack. If you're low on magicka you can just spam the apprentice-level spells. Even that dragon priest you run across during the Mages College questline didn't get off a single shot at me. (click to show/hide)I'd really expected more from someone it took two human sacrifices to imprison.

They were nice, but I don't need them any more. Even 15x is an instakill every time with my legendary daedric dagger (yes, finally stopped using Mehrunes Razor). Basically now that I am level 47, those enchantments are unnecessary at this point. Even the hood which gave me 35% bow damage increase is usually not needed.
Either way light armour is light, so I have both my nightinggale one for doing the sneaky stuff, but switch to my legendary dragonscale with frost and fire resistances when I fight dragons. The give me roughøy 400 armor rating so far and I am not even maxed out in light armour skill.

lol Yea the question is would that fucking shit allow me to survive the heavy hits I get since I'm level like 78 or 79? Because Daedric is barely putting out with 1400+ Armor Rating. I have to re-invest some points in Block and I have to re-do a piece or two for pure Blockage and the other for more 2 hander damage out put.
Backstab works nicely on a single target, not multiple targets and specially when they're Deathlords who shout at you one after the other.

Actually, from what I've read, the armor cap is around like... 570? In other words, anything over that is just wasted.

567 actually.
ie, you have over twice (closer to 3x?) the effective armor cap.

I've tested that out, about your armor cap information. The information is incorrect. Taking off a piece of armor puts me down to about 700 armor rating. With that, I saved the game and went up to some enemies and they ate through me pretty quick. I placed back the one piece I took off and gained back 1200ish armor rating. It took them about twice the length to kill me.
Maybe it's a bug?

Aside from this, I'm going to Greybeards and start on those quests.

I believe it depends on how many pieces you're actually wearing, too.
So, take a basic non-smithed Daedric set and put it on (should come to the armor cap, dunno), and then compare... or maybe try replacing two or three of your components with steel armor or something. Just make sure you've got an entire suit on.
There's a topic on gamefaqs where some guy has a 1800 suit and a 1000 suit, and they both decreased damage done by the same amount.
Tatsujin:
Skyrim sounds really Japanese in Japanese. Not only Famitsu gave this game a 40/40 score, but this became the first Western game overall to achieve 40 out of 40.
What also made me mad is the voice acting in Japanese is better than the English version - sigh. Listen to the video.

Because this is what I always say, English dubs suck balls ... ;)
