God I hate bears. I'm an arch mage, savior of [most] cities, destroyer of the undead, slayer of dragon priests, and I can toss a fireball down a dragon's throat w/o even flinching. But run into a snowy bear... nope. All my shouts and spells are good for is getting me the hell out of there...
Once you get to about Level 55 (give or take, depending on your perks), bears become only slightly more dangerous than wolves. I literally do not sneak around bears anymore; a few hits from my Nightingale Blade and boom, dead bear.
The Absorb Health enchantment is a godsend, of course.
I did. Then I performed a hard reset, ate a squidbear burger followed by a cake (which was a lie) washed it down with a couple arrows to the knee, just to be on the safe side.
I can't imagine playing Skyrim without a follower. Even if you want to solo all your combat, which makes sense from an experience and leveling perspective, you still want a follower to carry your loot.

Hm. I'm only level 34-ish, and I literally just box with bears - let them wail on my shield to build block, then drop the shield and let them wail on me to build Heavy Armor. A bowl of soup usually lets me regenerate the damage/stamina quite easily. Do lots of people have problems with them? Or is this just evidence that investing in Heavy Armor is a good idea?

Also, this is pure genius.

@volksoner - Die in a fire, go!

I can't decide if that last joke was funny
@xddga: do you have a problem with ice atronachs?

Also, this is awesome. Because bears are awesome.
