Not gonna lie, not using perk points makes me wanna scream. But love your playthroughs, it seems you have not played many video games which makes it interesting and entertaining to watch you struggle and improvising over time.
"The goal for today"...I'd be rich for every time I've heard someone say this...lol. If you're out of magic and potions and you're safe for the moment (in a dungeon) you can always "wait" an hour to recharge. Some doors and chests are boobytrapped. Before opening either one, look for a small wire attached to the door or chest. You can "unlock" the trap with a lockpick. Some door have a trap that you can disable by pushing a small button somewhere close to the door. Btw, in Inns during the middle ages, it was rare to have your own room. Many times you shared a room with a few others and often had to share a bed.
Actually, inns weren't all that common as modern fantasy makes it appear. Travelers would often be invited to rest in other people's homes - since they had news and gossip to share from far away (and there generally wasn't other ways to hear rumors from far away back then) travelers were generally welcome in most people's homes. Nobility were especially considered an honor to have stay with you, though they of course preferred the homes of lesser nobles or merchants rather than common folk. There were inns and taverns, of course, but usually these were for the public to drink and gather in the evening to share tales and companionship, not for overnight visits. Generally speaking. The fantasy version of the inn in every town, where adventurers can rest makes sense in a fantasy setting, though, where traveling adventurers are far more common, and so a business of offering shelter for them actually makes sense.
TIPS 1 When you get a level up you also get a perk which you can add to a skill of your choice to make it better. You haven't been using them which is why you are still so weak. (PS Wylandiah's spoon is a quest object for a quest you don't have yet. Just ignore it for now)
Thank you for the tips. I'm going to be recording part 06 today. Figuring out the perks is the first thing I'm going to do since I have a few accumulated now. (Edit: I accidentally wrote part 07 instead of 06)
@@KristaPlays Oh thank goodness. Watching this video and every time you go into your skills menu, I yell at my screen, "use your perks for the love of Talos!"
I am happy to see you traveling on foot and experiencing random encounters. These are leveled (for the most part) and add greatly to the Dovahkiin's abilities especially in the early game. When NPCs comment on your health one should check under "Magic/active effects". If you discover a detrimental effect or disease it may be cured with a potion or by activating one of the many shrines located all over Skyrim. In my opinion, the new player should follow up on the Companion's quest line early game to sharpen favorite combat skills. Please note: items in your inventory that are superior (best available) a😊e marked with a small triangle. If You are going to use a bow always collect the ancient Nord arrows, there are more of them available than any others and they do standard damage of ten points. You are doing well, don't be intimidated by more knowledgeable players. It's your game and you will succeed just by being yourself.
I like to always join the Companions on my first visit to Whiterun, whether I intend to complete their questline or not, doing the first 3 or 4 quests for them is a good way to earn experience and gold in the early game, without making any big commitments (there is a pretty natural stopping point, when you'll be offered a certain choice, which is required to continue the questline) It also makes sense from a narrative perspective, that a newcomer to Skyrim would join what is basically a mercenary guild to earn a living and make friends. Then afterwards, if mercenary work isn't your thing, you can just ignore them for the rest of the game, since you've gotten what you wanted and needed from them. The same with the Thieves Guild and the College of Winterhold - you encounter them pretty organically, and it's easy to do the first 1 or 2 quests, just to get them to accept you and offer you their services, without actually committing to anything.
Great watching someone playing for the first time, people constantly telling you that you look sick means you have contracted a disease. You can check that in magic section under active effects, don't let vampireism to long without treatment unless you wish to make the game difficult on yourself. Eat ingredients to learn first effect
Vampirism isn't that hard in Skyrim. In Oblivion you take damage from being out in the Sunlight - and in Morrowind certain people would become hostile just seeing you as a vampire.
TIPS 2 When fighting with a 2H weapon you can parry by using your left hand. With a 1H weapon you can carry a shield in your left hand and parry with that. You said you needed more powerful weapons, you do have an Orcish Bow which is more powerful than the bow you are using. You also have some good arrows, check their damage rating against the ones you are using. They may be better. You have an amulet of Talos which is good, but only if you are wearing it.
Thank you for the info on the weapons! I'll definitely take a look at my weapons. I haven't played any video games in such long time, I'm really clunky with using a controller. I'm hoping to improve so my fight scenes flow a bit more naturally.
Been watching another channel…had to see Skyrim lol! cos I got the 0Kb bug..can’t fix it! Sob😢 anyhoo I was in a constant state of irritation cos this person was so disingenuous and annoying…sheesh! Then I found this channel today…you may have saved my sanity. Bloody good content. Subbed….and thank yoooou!
I been playing everydays and started new save almost every other weeks, and this is the 1st time that I found out how to get the Dragon Claw from that tomb.
By the way you can use motion controls for spells or archery for more accurate aiming on a single target,, loving your play very much your really getting into the lore which is nice to see, great video Krista, dont forget to save often before or after fights and level up when it says ok, first person is better for picking up stuff aswell, thanks for great videos.
I don't think she likes to fast travel since it can be immersion breaking. other games she plays, she tends to avoid it. one of the reasons I like her playthroughs
A general hint........before going on a quest, it might be advisable to check your inventory, and sell off or get rid of miscellaneous junk you won't need........a) it brings in extra cash, and b) you will probably need plenty of room in your inventory because in the course of your quest you will almost certainly acquire new gear and equipment, which you might not otherwise have room for......I've seen from your inventory that you are carrying a lot of excess stuff you dont use and definitely dont need...either dump it, sell it, or otherwise get rid of it. Travel light, because there really IS plenty of good stuff waiting to be found......
I’m also on a Skyrim run now. About 45 hrs in. On the ps4 you can download a few mods. But With minimal mainly carry weight options which always bothered me in the original game so now I can carry more items and I gave the merchants more cash so that I could sell as much as possible and make some money other than that it’s pretty much a vanilla Playthru which is just fine with me. Great videos you’re putting out!
I would agree with humans. But Nords are different. They come from a mountain area, their ancestory in Admora makes them nearly immume to mountained ice areas. Skyrim was like a summer vacation for the ancestors of the nords.
On Survival Mode the climb of the 7000 steps is actually pretty harrowing - the cold reduces your total hit points by about 50% by the time you reach the Frost Troll.
Skyrim is a game that gives you side quests while you side quest so you can side quest before you side quest. Not sure if you know or not, but you do know you can just hit pause and then advance the time from the pause menu, right? You don't have to sleep. But maybe you just want to play it the way you've been playing it. If so, that's cool. I'm enjoying your playthrough.
Here is a tip that will let you open any lock. Save just before, try to open, if you fail, reload and try again, repeat until you succeed. Bit of a cheat but....
Speak with the Companions and hang out with them for awhile to hrlp you build up then Dawnguard between level 16 to 20 also your way better off with light armor
I guess that is the answer if you were going to Fast Travel or not. Obviously comments are both advising you to use Fast Travel and others congratulating you for not; Ultimately it's up to you. It is your time being used, Use it how you wish.
The benefit of not fast traveling is that you'll not only have random encounters that you'd otherwise miss (though they can get a bit repetitive), you're also likely to discover new things along the way - and it raises your skills/level faster, because you'll inevitably get more "practice" killing beasts and bandits on the road.
@@LadyDoomsinger In general I play, and advise, others to not fast travel until they are sick of the trip; then just zip through it. You spend your time advancing doing what you want.
@@dracoargentum9783 Of course, everyone should play as they feel is most fun. I just worry sometimes people can miss out on content by fast traveling. Then again, once you've walked the road from Windhelm to Winterhold for the umpteenth time, fast travel does look mighty tempting, even to me. That's when I remember I play Survival Mode and fast travel is disabled 😆
Having a room to yourself is very much a modern thing, in the sort of time and place that Skyrim is based on, you wouldn’t just be sharing a room with a stranger, you would likely be sharing a bed!!
use fast travel to save time.if you know a location, simply click on it on your map as fast travel there......also, outside every city there is a carriage, which will take you to any of the other cities for a small fee..you really dont need to walk halfway across the map to get to where you want to be..........simply click on the location of a site near where you want to be, fast travel to it, and then walk the remaining bit to your destination........

Say what you will about Bethesda's clunky dialogue and AI - it does produce some golden comedy.

That was an awesome fight thru the barrow. Its so much fun to see you figure out the puzzles! ☺️🌈

Right from the start you are able to pick any lock,even master level.
Put points into Health atleast for the first ten levels so you wont die in 2 to 3 hits.
I don't know - I like to never raise my Health above 150, just for the added challenge of potential 1-hit-kills. Keeps you on your toes.
I distribute them equally to start for the first dozen or so levels.
You're right running like that you would be gasping for air.
On Survival Mode the climb of the 7000 steps is actually pretty harrowing - the cold reduces your total hit points by about 50% by the time you reach the Frost Troll.
Always incredible how everyone plays this alittle different, imagine reading most books, but 0 attention to any perk tree or leveling up 😂
And you can use the placemarks on the map to fast travel.
You’re kind of fortunate you picked a nord character because I think they naturally resist those frost spells better
I believe you can quickly equip your weapon with the shortcut keys.

I think it's mostly a problem with the Switch controls? Although 3rd person POV isn't really great for aiming, either.
