Save Game, Save Game.

Explore, don't Fast Travel.

Save coin for House! (gives you a place to store gear, smithing mats, whatever)

My four words of power are: stay off the forums, habitual spoilers appear in alot of topics nowadays.

Disable autosaves, save often.

» Mon Jun 18, 2012 1:21 pm

he is talking about the trolls in game...and yeah at low levels they are a pain...

Yes, especially the frost trolls. The other kind is off limits.

Also, enjoy the game.

Prepare to have fun!

Seriously, though:

- Save for a house. They're great.
- Followers will piss you off royally due to the AI - but keep them, they're helpful.
- Don't dismiss the non-fighter classes (e.g. archery). They work much better than Oblivion.
- It's a great game. Like, really really great.

Beware the bears.
Beware the sabre cats.
They will maul you.
this four word limit.
Makes stuff seem really.
ominous foreboding and epic.

Welcome to the forums. Have a http://images.uesp.net//c/c4/Fishystick.jpg

Skyrim's very stable but not everyone is having that experience even though most people are and since I don't know what system you are on....from Oblivion, you already know...

"Save often, different slots."

Some advice more specific to Skyrim would be:

"Level slowly, more fun."

It's an awesome game and I'm having a blast, now at Level 39. I didn't get to play yesterday so today I'll be in Skyrim! Have a great time!!!!

Buy cure disease potions
Don't shout in towns.
enchant everything you sell

And most important :
Don't level too fast

(at highest levels the game is no longer interesting)

Play your own game.

» Mon Jun 18, 2012 3:40 pm

"Place Steam in Offline" (mode) -- to avoid It deciding to update the game at will making you wait until the 200+MB download completes to play
"Backup entire Game Folder" -- to have a replacement when Steam decides to update patch even when in Offline mode killing your game
"Avoid Patching Until Patched" -- wait to patch until others test the patch and they release a patch to fix the problems their patch introduces

» Tue Jun 19, 2012 2:22 am

Be careful adding mods at this stage. They can bork up your game

» Mon Jun 18, 2012 2:16 pm

don't fast travel anywhere

buy a house ASAP

join DB. Hail Sithis!

don't piss off Daedra

DID is your friend

moonsugar is your friend

edit: Best advice in this thread

"Avoid Patching Until Patched" -- wait to patch until others test the patch and they release a patch to fix the problems their patch introduces
