Advice to new players: DON'T FAST TRAVEL

Or at least try to avoid fast travel in the early game.

Skyrim gives you access to fast travel very early on, and I beg you not to use it.

The most fun you'll have in this game is out walking the roads of Skyrim, discovering new locations, encounters and stumbling into new adventures.

Fast travel is an easy way to get bored, because your not engaging with the world of Skyrim and your skipping out all the adventure in your action adventure game.

Skyrim’s first Godzilla Rider

Last year Godzilla dropped off countless eggs at my Guild’s doorsteps. He was going on an overdue honeymoon with Mothra and needed someone to watch the eggs. Not long after they hatched and we have watched over the little murder gremlins as they grew.

But our little Babyzillas have become Youngzillas and the time has come for them to start to venture out into Skyrim, under supervision of course! The last time they were not properly supervised they ate Riften……this Khajiit’s bad. While the Silverpeak Lodge has many members only a handful are capable of keeping them from doing too much damage, and so this one’s mate Sephiroth was chosen to take them out on their first journey. But don’t worry as this is only the first of many adventures, and who knows maybe Big G himself may comeback one day to lead his many children😇😈

(This video was more of a testing/proof of concept to see if my Xbox could handle this. Now that I know it can let’s just say I have……ideas)

First time playing Skyrim, what a beautiful piece of art it is.

I got my dad's old office laptop with good enough specs and started Skyrim after spending literal days last month modding and trying to run it on my old laptop. What a beautiful game man.

did you know that if you never go to kynesgrove , you get to unlock shout and not have to deal with random dragon attacks? Dragons still spawn in their respective spawn points. That's Alduin in the background waiting for me go there since I was less than level 10. I am level 83 right now.

just don't forget to avoid Kynesgrove like the plague. I must say I much prefer this way as dragon souls are now a rare and deliberate resource. I wouldn't mind surprise dragon attacks every now and then if Alvor didn't die on me from dragon attacks on my every playthrough. he has the survival instinct of a dodo.

How do you usually travel?

For example, when you face a mountain on your way to the quest marker, do you try to climb it or just look for a detour? Or just use some bugs like rock climbing horses or flying buckets to cross this ridge ignoring everything?

Also, when playing without fast travel, I noticed that the developers placed much more flowers near the roads, and they also recommend to follow the roads while travelling.

But what about you?

Might have started an international incident ...

Went to Solitude to hand that captain the book he wanted (The Mirror) and then walked in Castle Dour dungeon just to check things out.

Immediately on entering the dungeon I saw a Thalmor Prisoner and being the civilized being that I am I immediately freed him.

Turns out the Thalmor were there in the dungeon too, in the cell with the prisoner (Bjartur). How they got there is beyond me as I cant seem to unlock this door.

Well the Thalmor went into combat mode because I freed the prisoner. The idiots ... it was the prison guards and me vs 2 Justiciars & a Wizard, fish in a barrel really.

Now I cant even get to their bodies to dispose it off. Will escape through the prison wall and hopefully the guards cover for me since I entered at like 2am.

No regrets tho. I am for the empire and firmly anti Thalmor scum. What are they going to do, go to war against a guy who collects powers from gods for fun?

I swear I killed and looted this bear; it’s just stuck doing the death march. X’D

My bow has a paralysis enchantment and I’m using lighting arrows, which can cause what you hit to go flying. Six arrows and flying four paralysis effects later, and I guess the game didn’t know if it was dead or not when the paralysis wore off; enough for me to take its hide and stay in one spot, but not enough for it to stop moving. 😂

I cannot find him ANYWHERE. I have checked every possible place. Went through every list and Reddit thread. Leveled to 42 to see if he would respawn every 14 levels like some replies have said in the past….. I am playing on my gaming laptop through the Xbox app. Is there ANYTHING I CAN DO??? I spent my entire day off on this and I am beyond frustrated :( I JUST WANNA COMPLETE ALL DAEDRIC QUESTS AND COLLECT ALL THE ARTIFACTS !!!! 😫

Anyone else enjoy battle mages?

I'm at level 47 and just kind of fell into the battle mate player build. I started out as a mage and maxed out destruction. Got bored and picked up some swords. Once I found Torment, it's been a blast. But I don't see this build get as much love or attention, it seems. It's no stealth archers I guess. Maybe I don't have the patience for that. Swords are awesome.

Does anyone else play like this? What swords and spells do you use?

Title screen music is a vibe

Fairly new to the game (60 hours, maybe two weeks in) and the title screen track is such a banger I sometimes just let it play while I get the work station set up.
