Sounds about the same as it was in the beta, then. I know a few tricks for those things. The tortured souls can actually be killed by friendly fire, if you can't make it to the safe part of the fire wave in time, just run through it and take one 750 instead of several. Granted, I used mage (specifically, blood barrage), so I had a bit more room to maneuver. On a slightly dragon-related note, Steam sale means I got Dawnguard/Hearthfire for cheap. The first thing I did was get a mod for even more crossbows. -cries that i play Skyrim on a ps3- Also gratz Nekyia on not seriosuly injuring yourself recently :)
