First time playing Skyrim, on console, and probably PC as well. any tips?

[huey]

get it on pc, go to nexus, and mod the FUCK out of it. go on youtube and search brodual. got mad videos on mods to make the experience more immersive, and fixes bugs

Don't get overwhelmed by all of the quests...its tons of shot and side missions in the game...also...follow the navigation waypoints...the very first time I played the game I had no idea where to go and what I wanted to do so I put it down and shrugged the shit off as being boring...

Get an idea of what missions to want to do and stick with that...do try to get off track too much

Do a lot of smithing to build your skill up and make New new weapons and better armor....you can find some youtube videos about the characteristics and attributes about each character and chose the one that will best fit your playstyle...also do a lot of enchanting on your gear and weapons

Pick up every herb you see because alchemy can give you A LOT of XP if you mix really expensive potions...

I chose the dark elf because he takes leas fire damage and gets extra so for destruction magic

I'm usually one handed swordsman and one handed magic user. I started using Bows now.

True, but the man said he wants to look at ass. Might as well get some slooty armor.

I got it running last night on PC, special edition, ultra setting. I guess the age of this game is showing, because the graphics aren't what I was expecting. I most likely feel this way because when it was released pc gamers went on and on about its graphics.

Didn't get to play it that long, just played past the escape from the dragon intro, and ran to the first town.

I have the ps4 version as well, might switch to it if pc gaming becomes too awkward. It's annoying how you have to use mouse look to turn and change direction.

get that enb game strong, get some hd texture mods and u will be good

I used my Xbox360 controller, but I think I read the ps4 is compatible as well. Plug it into your tower and see what happens. The control setting is in options, of course. Still need the keyboard to use console commands.

I just deleted skyrim to make room for fallout4. But off top I'd suggest going to nexus/workshop and finding the most endorsed mods. I remember a survival mod... frost or something. There's a modder that does good lore friendly armors. Bandolier for more pouches. Jaysus had some cool weapons. Midas for spells. There's one to use dragon souls for perk points. Loki for fast leveling, changing races, or resetting your character at anytime. Alternative start for different playthroughs. And look for a modders Bella for bitches and apachii for hair styles.

Then there's the combat overhauls, werewolf and vampire changes.... it'll take a day of searching.

I'd recommend playing the main story up till you get the first dragon scroll. I think it's the first dragon scroll, I know you can't complete Dawn Guard without it. CLEAN SAVE THAT FILE AND ALWAYS KEEP IT. After that do whatever and you should be able to complete the game without any hold ups. I wouldn't recommend joining factions early on either. Save that for repeated playthroughs as a different race or class. Keep things fresh.

I think the furthest I've got so far is I did the quest from white run to kill that Dragon, then they found out I was a Dragonborn, and gave me that Greybeard quest, I haven't went though.

As of now, I've been doing the companion quest, and I've recently been turned into a werewolf, and have been going at it with the SilverHand.

I'm not interested in being a werewolf though, I hear you can cure it later.

Sneak is your friend in the early stages. Use that shit.

I was a Stealth Archer my first play through. Shit was fun AF.

You can plug a controller into a PC and play both games with it. I play fallout and skyrim with my PS4 controller.

That plus the ability to mod it make PC>>>>>console versions

I been slowly building my computer up piece by piece as I learn how to do it. Just copped one of them GeForce 1060s for $175 and Fallout 4 on ultra that shit run smooth af like 45-50 fps with a gang of mods

Skyrim is a step down looks wise if you played fallout first, but once you start playin it a while and get lost in that world you'll be alright. It's a whole lot to do. I still ain't beat either game and I'm sure I got at least 100 hours on fallout

Same thing a did. Basically a sniper with a bow and arrow. Especially with you get good enough with it where you can slow down time when you aim

Haha by the time I was in the end game I was so OP. Just one shotting anything that came at me. I love playing a stealth character in rpgs though

I really don't like sneaking in any type of game.

I just charge in, ready to cut someone up.

So I make sure to collect ingredients to craft health potions.

Also been collecting a lot of iron so I can try and up my smiting.

Oh, while I was using the forge, Adrianne Avenicci just randomly fell out and died. the hell.

Should I be using perk points for smiting and alchemy?

And a cultist attacked me in the middle of windhelm, must have hit a guard during the fight, because they fucked your boy up. Had to runway, they kept chasing me even in the wilderness. Then I teleported, and thought they had killed my follower, but they reappeared after I waited a day.

 

[anduin]

stick to raising 1 weapon skill, 1 crafting and 1 armor in the beginning. Smithing is only useful to improve your gear and it takes a while to get to the higher tiers but you'll usually find better stuff. Alchemy you can make some ridiculous poisons that will hit hard.

Try necromancy/conjuring, I always went in sword n shield style but summoned some undead mofos to battle along side me....do it just for the epic punchline daedra knight youll be able to conjure up sooner than u think.
