User blog comment:Jimeee/Skyrim 1.9 beta update adds Legendary difficulty and raises level cap (Updated Apr 8th)/@comment-3496379-20130304210344/@comment-4787430-20130304214232

I just tested out the Legendary difficultly setting with my level 70 character, and it's what it should be, a challenge. It's not so much difficult to say kill a dragon as much as it is time consuming to kill a dragon. You do very little damage even with legendary tempered weapons, but I guess that is what people are looking for...a real challenge.
