i love the series (Working!!) its one of my top watch this season hehe.

As for Skyrim, some long writing.

Spoiler

i experienced the UI difficulty in the early parts, but when i got used to it, i was able to effectively swap to bow, spell, sword/dagger and even drink potions in quick succession and even mixing in the dragon shouts during combat. My usual pattern is i start with a sneak attack, usually from a bow (assuming they are not aware of my presence). They will get pissed of and run to me.
I could still inflict another arrow or 2 then i quickly switch from bow to one hand weapon + shield, use the shield bash to stun em briefly and lunge them with a powerstrike (a perk will make this pattern easier) they can buckle a bit more at that time then backpedal to regain some stamina and quickly switch to either a destruction spell or the bow and do some damage from a distance. At this point they will regain composure you can unleash a dragon shout then repeat some similar pattern. This only work for 1 or two opponents tho and is not 100% reliable since they will sometimes not buckle on your attack, for multiple enemies it would require different play style.

Wolf? i guess his character or the way he plays is just different from mine. 3-4 wolves are pretty easy even when i was still on early levels, at level 5-6 or so, few slices of a one hand blade can put them down easy. A giant however can kill me with 2 or a single direct strike haha.
