Regularly changing Skyrim difficulty

I recently discovered that I've somehow started my first play through of Skyrim on Master difficulty which certainly explains a lot of my frustration! However, whilst it has been insanely frustrating at some points I've found it very rewarding when I do get past a tricky enemy by use of tactics and use of the environment.

I was wondering if there would be anything to stop me from continuing on Master but when I reach a point where I'm getting way too frustrated I could just drop the difficulty back a bit? Seems like one of those things that may have implications on my experience in the game world and if so I'm curious to know what that is.

Solution 1:

Nope, as far as i know difficulty is handled in this game like it is in most elder scrolls games and that is to say it doesn't effect anything except... well difficulty. :)
