When you start up a new character, what do you generally do first? Are there specific towns you go to? Specific quests you start with? A follower you try to get? Or is it completely different every time?

Well, the mod Royal Armory adds, among other things, a unique twohanded mace to Keeper Carcette, who gets removed from the game when the player hits level 10, leaving no other way to get this weapon; so the first thing I do is make my way across the Whiterun plains, up into the mountains towards the Lord Stone, then drop in on the Hall of the Vigilant and get the weapon from her.

After that, I either proceed with Riverwood > Bleak Falls Barrow > Whiterun, or go to Falkreath first and do the 'Ill Met By Moonlight' quest, depending on whether or not I want the Savior's Hide early. I've never once visited any of the other four major cities before visiting Whiterun / completing 'Dragon Rising' first.

My routine consisted of becoming a vampire and taking out everyone.

Then I'd start over and do it all again.

I play with the Alternate Start mod, which is a lot more immersive, has all different kinds of beginnings to choose. Start with nothing, start as a hunter, start with a house, start in the wild, start in a town, start as a noble, etc etc etc. But generally with most characters, I'll do a bit of travelling first, smaller quests, before deciding on which larger questlines to do

That's impossible. Maybe you just didn't realize you were playing Skyrim.

Spend two days setting up 300+ mods. Spend another day making everything work without crashing past the first 20 minutes. Play the game for less than a week, earn enough skill in Enchantment and Smithing to become OP, get bored, try again 2 years later.

  • Spend God knows how many hours fumbling with NMM/Vortex
  • Create a new character with an emphasis on magic
  • Character ends up being a stealth archer
  • Can't tolerate how the game's locked at 60fps, try 144fps mods/tweaks
  • Get bored with the game, uninstall mods, forget about the game

Im in a 2+ year running file right now. It's my go to when I buy a VR game and beat it but still wanna play VR for awhile.

I usually jump between focusing on one story line and doing the non main quests. Whatever I'm in the mood for. But I also avoid certain towns as to not see them all immediately. Which complicates things when a main quest wants you to. I've played over 300 combined hours and still never been to 2 towns >_>.

Elder Scrolls is a different beast and different style than the mainline Elder Scrolls games.

I'd highly reccomend trying Skyrim. I like Morrowind the most, but it's combat mechanics and graphics are a bit dated for most people's taste. All of those games are really immersive and a blast. Not perfect, but still probably the best at what they do.

depends on the build Im going for really, but first thing I like to do is go to the cave just north of whiterun and get transmute gold spell for easy money early on

also looting the meadery, and a couple side quests in whiterun like tipping a bum for speech bonus, and helping Arcadia so I can take all her ingredients, and the food stalls outside, make stuff to survive for now

if Im doing a magic build Ill go to the academy right away, otherwise I go straight to Dark Brotherhood

the brotherhood questline is easy to do at low level, its pretty short, you get some of the best weapons in the game, the best horse in the game, and 20k gold to spend

i also like to do the companions guild quests to get access to trainers and being a werewolf makes you resist disease and vampirism which is great because undoing vampirism isnt fun

Maybe I will try it. What is the best Version? I have a PC, Xbox 1, PS4 and Switch. Is there multiple versions of the same game on each Platform?

Steam Special Edition is best.

Come up with a character (Remember roleplaying Bethesda?)
Use mods to access all equipment and stuff. Get equipment/weapons/spells that are appropriate for my character.
And I go from there depending on who I'm playing as.

Before it would be Helgen - Standing stones - Riverwood - Whiterun

they have the most options compared to the ps4 version. when i started out i loved to steal shit from the houses every chance i got. then i found out i couldn't sell it to the innkeeper so i just took the stuff that could be used.

avoid the ps3 version. it's crap.

It's on all ofthose, but you'll want to play PC. You can still play with your favorite controller on PC. THe the main reason is, if you get to liking the game, you'll want to play some mods, and PC has the best selection.
