First and foremost this thread is for all the tips and tricks which both old and new players may find useful.

Below I will constantly update with new suggestions or other helpful hints. I understand that there might be other threads of various purposes but I will link video tutorials along with other sites (checked first) which may help all players. Please comment below your helpful advice and I will put it up here.

While I personally am not experienced in the way a huge majority of other Elder Scroll players might be, I hope this thread could be compiled as a first reference for any needing starting advice or more advanced advice.

While people can just search something up, just a quick scroll down and what their after should be there ideally. Not claiming credit for any link, just making a unified place for added convenience.

Will only add links which I've looked over so that only quality is added.

General tip section:

1. While not all might agree the most useful advice any player can be given is to save, not once every ten hours, save OFTEN.

2. Try an enjoy the game, if it's a grind and you're not having fun, you're doing something wrong.
