First Destination: Where will you go first?

  • Posted by Nord With Massive Axe October 25, 2011 - 713 views

    People were looking for a bit of diversity in the blogs so I thought I would throw this out there. Where do you plan to go first as you enter the world of Skyrim; do you head for Riverwood and do every single quest possible or do you bypass it and head to the closest of the major cites Whiterun. With 16 days to go just how much planning for those first few characters can you squeeze in? 

    I plan to explore as widely as I can with my first character and see as much of the Skyrim world as I can picking up quests here and there. With my second the idea is to get to a far off small town like  Oragon Bridge (can be seen on the Skyrim Map) and settle there.

    As my main character will be leaving jail after getting accused/framed of treason, I will have to stay away from Riverwood and the typical "starter" quests found there.  Perhaps I'll just aimlessly wander the map until I find something that brings my char...  more

    My first thought, after reading many of the hands-on accounts, is that I will not be heading to Riverwood. I will most likely walk, fight, run, skin, loot, sneak, and burn my way to Riften, home of the Thieves Guild. The NPCs won't know its me when they h...  more

    If I'm not mistaken you have to start the main quest line to trigger dragons, and I wanna go hunting so I will start the MQ and then I'm finding my first dragon in skyrim!

    I'll probably head to Riverwood first. (After killing countless wolves and taking their pelts.) I'll pick up woodcutting and smithing to play with the job system for awhile, earning enough money to weigh my pocketses down a bit. I definitely plan on start...  more

    I'm going to explore the wilderness first, then probably head to the nearest town/village and check out the local tavern. I always loved the atmosphere of taverns in this type of setting, and they're great places to get new quests or simply listen to rumo...  more
