I play adept difficulty, but I'm only at level 20. I still have to be careful about some of my fights, but I usually overcome without using potions. I agree. I love to constantly be challenged, but at the same time, since you are at level 44 and supposed to be dragonborn and all, I guess guards should not pose much a threat. I mean if you have the ability to take down Alduin then some ole guards should be a walk in the park. But yeah, I will try the next difficulty eventually myself.
