Ok so I had a middle of the night urge to finally start DB. Had it for some time now but never felt like playing it until tonight....uhh or this morning would be more correct I guess.

So is there anything specifically that I should bring? Other than my usual gear? Anything I should be on the look out for that may come in handy later on down the quest line?

I'm fine with minor spoilers, just wanna make sure I don't go in and suddenly realize I need to head back for something.

You don't need anything. Just go. If an item looks like a variation of something, keep it. You may like to use it later. I'm guessing you are a decent level so I think you're ready. The game will handhold you the rest of the way. Have fun.

A Fire Extinguisher, because there are a bunch of pyromaniacs running around Frost Spells and Enchants are actually quite useful on the Southern half of Solsthiem.

Just be prepared for tougher enemies on the whole, it is scaled up a little.
