Interested in Trying Skyrim

Starting over all the time is common for Skyrim anyway . I lost count on how often I started over.

I opted to not do the dragonborn quest yet

Perhaps my favourite playthrough of Skyrim was the one where I didn't do any main quests until the very, very end. The best thing was not having to pause every five minutes to fend off another blinking dragon attack.

Seems there are many perks to holding off on the big quests. Leveling up first sure helps defeat tough enemies.
Gotta tell you it's hard working from home, because all I want to do is go downstairs and play the game 😁 when I was using my PC I may or may not have taken some 15 min breaks on Steam.😄

The companions questline is fairly accessible from memory, what kind of character are you making and are you prepared for it to become a stealth archer against your wishes?

 

[K8xp]

Nord. I mostly use an axe cause I found a nice one that works great, but have gotten pretty good at archery.

 

[Mazer]

A classic, I went Nord my first play through too. Wanted to be a local boy made good.

It's a good idea to level up archery, as you'll need some kind of ranged attack to deal with dragons (you can do without, but it's a pain).

Also, be aware that enemies in Skyrim level up with you, based on your total level. This means that if you level up in a lot of non-combat related skills the game gets relatively harder. Of course, you can always change the difficulty (although making battles shorter means you level up combat skills slower, meaning non-combat skills probably level relatively faster, making the game harder again ).

What I noticed, but maybe I'm a little ahead now is that sometimes it's a good idea to keep some lower leveled armor or weapons because they end up making your character way stronger. I'm saying that as the classic sneak dagger and archer though .

Starting over all the time is common for "all my RPGs" anyway. Personalized your observation.

I wish I could experience skyrim again for the first time. Awesome game, even without 200 mods. Have fun!

You need to go to the Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind company.

not having to pause every five minutes to fend off another blinking dragon attack.

And having NPCs killed off without you noticing until much later in the playthrough - unless you use mods to prevent that happening

Play it with the Dwemer Guns mod. Not even Live Another Life freshens up the game so much. Slow motion kill cam as you gun down a rabbit with a dwarven .50 cal adds many new and meaningful layers to the gameplay.
