Tip #1 Say goodbye to friends, family and the light of day 😊

For a first time player, the only mods I would really recommend using are the unofficial patch and SkyUI. They're non-intrusive and two mods I feel I can't play without.

I will agree on this point having no mods or at least limited amount of mods for a first playthrough is HIGHLY recommended because once you get into the modding scene, you'll be stuck in that rabbit hole and most likely end up with some like 200+ mods 😂😂

I 100% agree with you on Mods. I think a brand new player should use a few mods in the beginning, but ONLY the ones that add cosmetic improvements. Its already beautiful, but why not make the game even more attractive. No quest add mods, no God-mode mods none of that. But when you can have immersive weather, improved trees and that sort of thing it just adds great visual aplomb.

Buy the anniversary edition of this game. It's really the only one left on store shelves

Don’t listen to this guy about the chickens. You should totally attack the one in river wood on your first visit 😈

The sheer AUDACITY of this video is crazy. Keep it up!

Unless you want to play a stealth archer you likely don't want to play Skyrim. Game is so overhyped

I feel like if we’re optimizing for XP gains it actually makes sense to play a race that has the LOWEST skill level in whatever skills you’re using. There is more XP to squeeze out of those skills that way. Technically it will take longer but the overall xp gained is worth it. Racial abilities are another thing though.

Silly question

I think you got the Imperials and Stormcloaks reversed in the Markath section.

I would've loved this as a new player and I still do an older player XD. Great video :D 💯!

So if i accidentally filled a grand soul gem with petty for example, i can't empty it?

So I had a funny experience. One of the first things I like to do on any new game of skyrim is get the fort frostmoth weapon on solstheim. We'll I used the push shout and this ash spawn got clipped partially into a stone bunk looking thing. I'd get close, let him hit me, retreat a few steps. After a few hours I had heavy armor and block leveled to 100

What mod are you using to get multiple spell effects? My games only allows one spell effect for any spell

I am currently level thirty I haven't done any guild quest I haven't even talked to the jarl of white run But I have ninety speech, which I use to create my own fence network to launder stolen goods, eliminating the need to join the thugs of the thieves guild, and I can operate a more gray fox oblivion, honor amongst thieves style of thief, gameplay Just a smuggler sent up to skyrim, to investigate the sleeping tree sap, as we have some skooma cooks trying to make some senchal scarlett 10x better than balmora blue. I find that joining quest and factions, and even following the dragon, born quest line in this game, sort of locks you into a character arc and story, of which I find tends to rob all role, play elements from the game outside of those conceptually built within those quest and guild storylines. Rejecting all quests and all guilds, just to adventure, trade, and help commoners of skyrim has been my best playthrough for freedom so far There is any advice I could offer from all my time and playing. Based on this experience specifically is that do whatever it takes to have.The most freedom in this game.Don't allow yourself to get locked into anything too early.Otherwise it robs the majority of your experience.And then you'll just want to make a new character

How...in the WORLD do you make a video like this, and LEAVE OUT TOTEMS????????? I am brand new to this all and I just found on google the reason why my perk isn't working, because I don't have totems... and even worse the game hasn't told me about them either. So YOU! Yes YOU! Mr. KZbinr person! HOW THE F..K!!! Could YOU OF ALL PPL FOR a beginners guide forget about totems and not include them right away with the perk tree information part of this clip.

Best guide: play all you want, but dont kill chicken.

The Breton's Magic Resist is just too good to pass up on imo. Offset the Endurance loss with the right Birthsign (Lady or Warrior), and a custom Class, and you're set for pretty much anything.

Love that you still make skyrim videos in 2024 👍

33 huh😉

So after you’ve left the enchanting table, is it supposed to forget the enchantments you had? I disenchanted a bunch of stuff yesterday and came back to the table today to find I had no enchantments.

hey im on xbox and after getting bit my harkon and teleporting to the room i cant transform i have no idea what to do

me over here having played since i was 7, with at least 2.5k hours over 5 different platforms, and played every version except vr watching a beginners guide 😂

I know skyrim more than Todd Howard but I will see this tips for sure

I'll be honest, the main reason I even started playing Skyrim was because of the ease of leveling and not being locked under a class system (watched a friend play). These days I play the game to relax my mind and disconnect from reality, not so much seeking a challenge.

Nah, you said apparatus perfectly

On PC F5 to quick save.

2 tips from me. - Play the game naturally for your first time (don't look at loot location videos etc) - some books will give you a level increase and finding them in bookshelves or mixed in with other books can be a chore. However, these books are worth more money (50+ gold) so just hover over the books and only look for the valuable ones

Are people actually starting with Skyrim more than a decade after its release? I would love to walk those 7000 steps again for the first time...

Personally, I don't start modding a game until I have all of the achievements/trophies. I can't stand when people mod the F out a game before they even play it once.

The sword combat sucks but other than that it is fantastic.

I've been playing Skyrim for years, but I love watching these videos because the game is so deep, you can always find something you might have missed. I just envy the person experiencing Skyrim for the first time.

Has thousands of hours on this game across many platforms, "Ah yes i need to watch this beginners guide."

I really missed seeing your character on inventory menu😢

Never played any other game of Elder Scrools. I have played Skyrim for a couple hundred hours. I started a new game in survival mode. A fun experience, tedious, but fun

How do you sprint on all fours as a werewolf?

Yes still worth play, i still play it

1. keep in mind that, unlike in other Elder Scrolls, there is no night vision spell, potion, item in the game. Cat folk or vampire. Or no night vision for you. 2. have something relaxing nearby. To calm your nerves when the "R" P G game forces you into something, giving you 0.000 chance for what the R stands for. f.e. "Dude, the cannibals have a plan. They wanna eat you. Wanna me kill them ALL? Wanna tell the guards? Something?" of course, you CANNOT say this. You stand in front of the priest, wanna play the decent guy, and there is NO dialogue option to do so. You cannot tell the jarl that there is a fukkn magic door in his palace. or the sh!t talk in Jarvasskr (or something) hall: "You still need to prove yourself, whelp" (then no dialogue option for me. In fully enchanted dragon gear, as the LEADER of the Companions) etc etc etc. by the way, is there an NPC anywhere who offers a quest to END the thieves guild? Thanks. I am the good kitty boy. And then, just to have a few more missions, I have to beat innocent people. My character does not wanna do it. But the player has to. A PG game without that initial R. A great PG game. Just don't believe anybody when they mention the R

Nowadays I try to create my character around a specific role playing story that I come up with, that usually isn’t fully fleshed out, lol. Then I end up being….. you guessed it… a stealth archer 😅… with a degree of personality

I played skyrim on the switch before I started on pc and the first thing I did was download mods.

As someone with 1000+ hours in Skyrim across multiple consoles and pcs, I always enjoy a good beginners guide.

I have more than 2000 hours, I better know all the tips...

i dont wanna sound a broken record, but Why do you always play as a Female?

It’s winter time in Maine. That’s means skyrim, coffee, trees, beagle cuddles and serana

This is so weird, I just bought a used Skyrim for PS3 a few days ago! 😆

Skyrim is bland and repeatative. Oblivion does a better job at capturing high fantasy and is a better rpg mechanically.

I just can’t replay it like I can oblivion. I don’t think it’s half the game oblivion was. I don’t to now if it even cracks my top 10 now

The very first thing I do in every play through is; travel to Leyowin and start Whom Gods Annoy to get the staff of the ever scamp. It makes leveling combat so much easier

Everytime when people ask me what's your favourite game, I answer Skyrim. Until 2018 after I palyed the new god of war. It is a beautiful game and I changed my answer ever since. Now think back on that, I replayed new gow only couple of times, but I replayed skyrim countless time even after 2018.
