You don't really need any
If its your first BGS game, just remember to go explore and get lost, let random things sidetrack you and realize hours later you haven't even finished the quest you initially set out to do. Don't just follow the main questline, the "side content" is the bulk of the game, main quest is like 20 hours but there's well over 300 hours worth of stuff to do in one Skyrim playthrough
It generally doesn't get harder. You might have some trouble with dragon priests and high tier falmer / dragons.
I wouldn't suggest playing on legendary difficulty (you'll straight up get oneshot by even bandits with 2h weapons locking you in death animations the second they get near you) but you might want to try increasing difficulty a bit but it can make enemies kind of spongey too
Everything below Legendary is tolerable. Legendary itself is a nightmare unless you're a stealth archer or have a companion/summon, then it's just tedious.
Skyrim can only pose a semblance of a challenge in solo play, and even then only on Master or Legendary, and only because you get one or twoshot.
Two handed is a meme, one handed is the way to go. Spam shield bash. Magic is fricking awful in Skyrim because it requires so much commitment and was nerfed horribly unless you abuse exploits.
>Going into Skyrim completely fresh years after it released was one of the best gaming experiences of my life. Don't rob yourself of that.
Fantastic advice for any game.
I will at the absolute most skim an interview to see if they're raving or raging.
Trailers of any sort are garbage, they usually spoil half the plot, and even if they don't, they create expectations that you are either disappointed aren't met or disappointed aren't as well implemented as you imagined.
Hype is garbage.
Watching other people play games (In any sort of non-social context, IE, online and not in person with bros) is complete garbage.
Best to experience them with as few expectations as possible to best enjoy them in the moment.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm playing vanilla Skyrim for the first time
Any tips?
Just have fun and don't search for exploits
Beware the walking mannequins. They watch you while you sleep.
don't open it
You don't really need any

the game becomes less fun the stronger your character gets so dont min max
I picked an Orc and am just two-handing everything while barely taking damage
I doubt it ever gets hard
On expert btw
It generally doesn't get harder. You might have some trouble with dragon priests and high tier falmer / dragons.

Don't spec into anything magical. Just go one-handed and shield and spam shield bash or make a STEALTH ARCHER.
see
Two handed is a meme, one handed is the way to go. Spam shield bash. Magic is fricking awful in Skyrim because it requires so much commitment and was nerfed horribly unless you abuse exploits.
Stealth Archer was immediately my first build and I didn't even know about the meme lol. Now I'm two hand unga-bungaing it
Just one. Stop asking for tips and leave this thread. You'll get spoiled and it will dampen the experience.
Going into Skyrim completely fresh years after it released was one of the best gaming experiences of my life. Don't rob yourself of that.
Go play and have fun.
I agree and at the same time I don't. When you finish one upgrade tree you can just focus on another one. You can also raise the difficulty any time.
>Going into Skyrim completely fresh years after it released was one of the best gaming experiences of my life. Don't rob yourself of that.

Yep. I don't even watch movie trailers, game trailers, and reviews anymore. If I already know I'm going to buy it I don't need to know anything else.
I will at the absolute most skim an interview to see if they're raving or raging.

*should not have of on coming here
>forgot pic
>I YEILD I YEILD
ok, ill put my weapon away and turn around
>NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE
Bravo todd, the ai is amazing.
ES6 better have bandits be a joinable faction for frick sake Todd you have one job
>No option to join or make your own bandit group
For an RPG, Skyrim had a lack of fun choices.
>Can't be a bandit
>Can't join the silver hand and destroy the werewolf companions
>cant join dawnstar and put an end to the college
>cant join the blackbriars and take down the thieves guild
Why can you take out the brotherhood but not the other guilds even though they all have opposition?
Doesn't matter, paying players will fix it for free
Gotta make that meme date, then never finish our game
So they could add mounted combat in an update but not a new quest? Bravo Todd.
