pretty sure we can pick and choose our own challenge levels in the game. the beauty of skyrim is the freedom of choice. you can make it difficult or easy. your sense of reward is highly subjective. as it turns out, games with a high difficulty curve may be rewarding but overly frustrating and can really put people off, no matter how great a challenge your looking for. your talking about this as if it was an actual sport and we were training for something, the point of leveling our skills in skyrim is so they are more effective and more efficient the next time we use them, not so you can say "look how high my skills are", not to mention this is a single player experience, not a competitive multiplayer game. as for spending time getting something, get on world of warcraft and do the dallies. raids in that game have weeklong cooldowns. actual weeks. end-game warcraft takes real planning, knowledge, and even skill. maybe thats the challenge your looking for.
