How to Ensure a Great Play Through

Hints

Save as Often as Possible

There’s nothing worse than playing for a few hours, then suffering at the hands of an unforeseen glitch and realizing that you never saved once. For the sake of your sanity and your console, make sure you sabe whenever you’re aimlessly wandering the wilds, about to begin a tough boss battle, or when you’re trying to pickpocket someone that could end up being more trouble than they’re worth.

Create Your Own Adventure

While the game has many fascinating storylines, don’t feel the need to follow its pre-set paths. You can take whatever path you dare as soon as you’ve completed the tutorial, so journey to your heart’s content.

You don’t even have to discover you’re the dragon-born if you don’t want to, though you will lose access to a few quests.

Don’t Hoard Items

It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the massive amount of loot you can pick up. Don’t try to save every potion or soul gem you have for difficult boss battles. Instead, use and sell your loot or unwanted gear as often as possible so that you don’t suffer from a too-full inventory every time you go dungeon diving.

Try New Things in Combat

Dragons are some of the most epic enemies you will encounter as you travel around the map, but even these fights can become a bit tedious as you level up, especially if the dragon you’re fighting is stubborn and doesn’t want to land. 

Try to find different ways of killing your enemies using a combination of weapons, magic, and shouts. You could just stumble across a new favorite way of fighting. 

Open Every Book

There are more than 200 unique books in the game, each of which contains pieces of interesting lore, will grant you a skill increase, or will even trigger a quest (only five books can do this). Be sure to read every book you come across.
