I've always wondered how many people try to burn through the main storyline as quickly as possible and how many deviate from the path set by the game. How many of you start on the easiest setting and build up as you go along? How many people enjoy Skyrim's more socially focused aspects more than the combat? So far, I'm playing as a Wood Elf ranger, I prefer to be alone, now that Lydia is dead (after killing a dragon, she was sent into orbit by a giant). I have only completed the main storyline up to the first dragon and I have since split off to go adventure. Killing elk and working on my archery skills, both my own ability to hit my target and the skill itself. I'm playing on the 3rd difficulty setting, level 16, with a lot of focus into stealth and archery. Smithing as well; although I feel dabbling into alchemy would be a good idea. Just finished some funky quest involving getting very drunk and very lost...lots of comedic value being tossed into the game thanks to the devs. Discuss your playstyle!
