Game Skyrim Forum

So I'm thinking about starting my 1st DID playthrough on XB1 with mods and was hoping for some tips and pointers... Should I invest heavily into the character... make a backstory... how to stay alive as long as possible... Should I start with a simple character just to get used to the style of play... Because I tend to die... a lot and I get the feeling that I'll die the first fight I get into...

Thanks...

Run back a lot.

If you don′t know most dungeons like the back of your hand, study new rooms from a distance before going in so you know where to hide, where to run in circles, where to jump etc...

Use sprint for dodging if you′re not on heavy armor. Using high mouse sensitivity helps, as soon as you see more than one foe starting an attack, 180 your mouse and run a little, then turn back.

I find that the better I develop a character′s personality and background, the more I care about it, so I′m that much more careful and that much sadder when they die. It′s a balance really

and adjust the difficulty to something that gets you to have fun and not toil when playing.

If you use any beneficial mods and your playing on Adept you will be fine. I wouldn't even worry about it. If you want to be just ultra safe don't talk to the Jarl of Whiterun (don't spawn dragons).
