I ended up level 50 before leaving the tutorial.
By the time I was done with Skyrim I was level 250, could level at will, and didn't even have to fight.
I had an immortal follower with a bow that could kill anything in one hit. Dragons just fell from the sky wherever i walked.
I would just walk through dungeons. Everything died. I could carry as much as I wanted. I had as much gold as I wanted. Nothing could kill me. I could do dragon shouts with no cooldown (the one that knocks crowds over is a lot of fun when you can spam it)
The game is ridiculously smurfable.
These days I stick to the fallout franchise.

It's my favourite game, but I find those dragons and the main quest where you have to go to the monastery and learn shouts a bit annoying, so I skipped that part and enjoy the side quests mostly

Speaking for myself, I've never won anything more than the cost of the ticket in any lottery.

Unless they know how to play the odds. There is even a nice little film about this starring Bryan Cranston id est "Jerry & Marge Go Large".

You made me longing to my grandmother - she used to cook up elderflower with sugar and lemon juice to a syrup we used to drink with sparkling water...

Ingredients:
20 Freshly Picked Elderflower Heads
Or
25g Dried Elderflowers
1kg Granulated Sugar
30g Citric Acid (this not only adds a fruity flavour but also works as a preservative so your cordial will last longer)
3 Unwaxed lemons
1 Orange
Equipment:
Saucepan
Large bowl or 5 litre bucket
Straining bag or muslin cloth
Funnel
Jug
Bottles
Method:
Day One
If available, pick around 20 medium sized fresh elderflower heads - You should pick the Elderflowers from an area away from heavy traffic and when the weather is dry. Remove any insects and cut away as many stalks as possible, put your elderflower heads in the bucket.
Add finely grated zest of 3 unwaxed Lemons and 1 Orange.
Bring 1.5 litres water to the boil and pour over the elderflowers and citrus zest. Loosely fit the lid to your bucket and leave overnight to infuse.
Keep the lemons and orange covered for tomorrow.
Day Two
Peel and pith the lemons and orange, then juice them. (The pith will add a nasty after taste, so get rid of as much as you can.)
Next day strain the liquid along with the lemon and orange juice through the straining bag and pour into a saucepan.
Add 1Kg of household granulated sugar and the Citric acid.
Heat gently to dissolve the sugar and simmer fora couple of minutes.
Allow to cool for a few minutes and then use the jug and funnel to fill your 4 bottles with the hot syrup.
Allow to fully cool before capping
Give it a try, hopefully it'll bring back some memories!
I use tonic water instead of sparkling because it just adds an extra astringent that offsets the sweetness.

May have to try this - we have a huge elderflower bush in our garden. Thanks for the recipe.

Good?
That's perfect. You should drink sangria in a park.

It wasn't a 1kg bag of sugar that you poured in by any chance?

Nope, it was from a 2KG bag.

A kilogram of sugar? Are you trying for insulin shock?

It makes a couple of liters, and it's a cordial: you dilute it 10:1 or more with water or flavoured water.
It probably works out with less sugar than a can of Coke!

I just did the numbers, first with Top Gear Math, then with Google and a calculator ...
The recipe makes 2.5L of cordial, which you dilute 10:1 - so it makes 2.5L * 11 of drinkable fluid. Assuming you use a sparkling water, that contains 1000g of sugar, so that's 1000/27.5 or 36.36 g/L of sugar. (Obviously, using tonic water bumps that up - by 49 g/L according to Schweppes.)
According to the Coca-Cola company (and printed on the cans) there is 10.6g of sugar per 100mL of Coke Original. That's 106 g/L! 
So while it sounds like a mad amount of sugar in the recipe, it's a third of that in America's Favourite Soda, and still well under even with tonic water.
Drinking 1L of Coke is the equivalent of eating 13 boiled sweets (I just weighed 13 boiled sweets to check) which surprised me.
