» Thu Dec 15, 2011 7:40 pm First things first... Your first choice is to follow "Hadvar" - Imperials, or to follow the guy from the cart-ride... The storm-cloaks. (When you run through the burning town. You have to enter one fo TWO doors to the keep. One guy is at one door by the far end, another guy at the other door by the tower you run past...)
Beyond that... Once you exit the caves... Head SOUTH first. Since most everyone heads NORTH. The southern areas have a lot of flavor, and let you warm-up to the softer content in the north. (Since I assume you know how to play well enough to survive... you should live long enough to enjoy traveling south.)
If you want more of a challenge, take Hadvar's path at the beginning, and once he unties your hands... beat him up with fire and your swords that you find, never getting the armor in the chest, until you are ready to leave that room. Level-up by fighting him. The world will be more of a challenge when you exit the pre-game tutorial area. (Great way to get sneak up to 100 also, if you sneak and wait six-seconds between hitting Hadvar with swords. You level almost after every hit.) Again, not a beginner thing to do. Since you can level up to 50, just beating him around. Oh forgot that you can shield-bash him to near-death at the part where you see the bear...
The world will be full of things to squish you, from the start.
Want more of a challange... don't level up those things... go right to enchanting, alchemy, smithing, speachcraft, and sneaking... The world will be damn-near impossible, but the biggest challange ever!

I did not know I had 2 options on how to go with. I thought I ALWAYS had to go with Hadvar. But going with either or still leads me through the same beginning path correct?
