[up]The original release of Skyrim that’s since been delisted. Nowadays, the version of Skyrim that’s still available to buy is the Special Edition, which comes with all the DLC packaged and runs on 64-bit rather than 32-bit, making it easier to run on modern computers.

[up][up]Pre-Special Edition Skyrim. The main difference is that there are certain mods only available for oldrim and not SE Skyrim (and the other way around).

[up] I still just have the PS 4 version. And I'm still playing that one on my new PSN account as well, hopefully I'll get the Platinum trophy again.

Finally took the time to create a character and play through the beginning for the first time. I went with Breton, even though I'm using a lot of weapons now. I just want to be able to try everything.

But man this game is deep. So much to pick up and cast...

With all the house mods I've got, I'm starting to wonder if you character is setting up boltholes, in case they need to hide them and their family from something.

Suddenly felt like a nostalgia trip, made another character, and sure enough...am now a stealth archer. Again.

Archery is just really really good.

It's simple and every perk is useful.

I got the PS5 version free (albeit digitally) because I still have the PS4 version. It's kinda weird seeing the game in 60 FPS though.

It's just too easy to be a stealth archer because you automatically get the first attacks without risking being damaged in return and you will get extra damage with sneak attack.

So why even try to start any fight any other way if you're not a mage?

Ooh, uh...I tend to be an archer...

I find the best way to reduce the temptation to be a stealth archer is to get mods that make enemies tougher that you can't just one- or two-shot them.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

Can't you just set the difficulty to Legendary?

I don't like how Skyrim does its difficulty sliders. Turning enemies into padded sumos while you're effectively a One-Hit-Point Wonder isn't fun.

Would have been better if enemies hit you harder at higher difficulties but your attack damage stayed the same, or enemies took less damage but you don't take more damage.

Also mods address the inherent issue with stealth being too strong at the start and make you really earn you Sneak stat.

Man, muffle is a hella useful spell.

I'm literally wearing heavy armor and sneaking next to draugrs and knifeing them in the face for 15x damage.

I'm a High Elf, I need that extra magicka as my kitsune self is a fire user, so I'll be using Flames more often.

Muffle is extra useful against the falmer, because they are blind. And unlike the invisibility spell the muffle spell doesn't cut out if you doing anything like attack or open a door.

Wildcat combat is great, because it makes every sword swing, and every arrow very very dangerous at all levels. It also adds a timed parry, and you can also get a dodge/dodge roll mod.

Mortal Enemies also makes it so enemies cannot continue to target lock on you after they begin their attack animation, so the dodge actually means something, and also imposes the same limitation on your attacks.

It's a fun combination of mods to have.

What's a faster way to get to level 50? I'm in the 30s now and I've completed every quest-based trophy so far.

Get the transmogrify spell. Mine iron. Transmogrify iron to silver, silver to gold, smith gold and gemstone jewelry. Enchant jewelry with whatever garbage enchants you have that makes money (archery and pickpocket are good ones, if i remember right. Kind of ironic those are valued so highly by the nords tbh). Soul trap is best for weapons because it is max value no matter how garbage the soul gem you use to enchant it

Sell Jewelry.

Levels up Alteration, Enchanting, Smithing, and Speech. EZ
