I didn’t realize someone existed that hasn’t played Skyrim yet. /s

Enjoy! I’ve got 5,600 hours in it, there’s lots of content there. I hope you have fun with it. How far are you? What do you think of it so far?

    A couple hours in, I'm level 4 I think. I'm pretty impressed by it so far, but I'm playing on a PS5, I can't imagine how it felt to play this on the original consoles.

    Very slow, that’s how. Load times were notoriously bad on 360/PS3. PC obviously depended on specs. It was a great time though, I do miss those days.

    What race are you playing as? And what playstyle?

    I am an Imperial named Gord, and I have a few playstyles, as I'm learning which enemies are weaker to certain weapons or spells: generally, though, I'm using a 2h sword as my main DPS, switching to a sword and shield for extra defences, or having flames in one hand and healing in the other for DoT (or against enemies weak to fire)

    I love 2H sword, it’s my favourite playstyle. Stealth archer is the cliché build but it’s a ton of fun too, and massively overpowered if you’re into that. It’s worth trying on a second playthrough for sure.

    Have you done any major side quests or factions yet? Or just the main story?

    The only side quest I did was returning the gold claw to a merchant, but I did that one by accident. Been doing MSQ so far, don't really want to overwhelm myself with too many quests.

    Although, I did find out the very hard way that you could be caught "trespassing" in shops.

    Yeah that’s fair. I don’t usually play the main quest these days, just side stuff since that’s imo the best content in any Bethesda game, but on a first playthrough the main quest can be pretty epic. I hope you enjoy your time with it.
