LastTomorrow 12/13/19 9:04:23 AM #1:	I'm not moving the plot just yet, but the side quests. They want me to go to Whithill or something. I bought this on sale on the PSN store, but I don't have time and I tried to get a refund, but learn Sony doesn't do returns once you download the game.

I would strongly advise doing the main quest until you check out the dragon attack on the guard tower, about 3 missions in. Destruction magic isn't the best as you get higher levels so you might want to try melee or archery too. --- https://imgur.com/tRUZB3x <cite>RdVEHfJqAvUPIbk posted [p:931525074] in I purchase...

Shotgunnova 12/13/19 9:23:32 AM #7:	Sneaky archer is one of the easier, more OP ways to play. If you want additional help, start learning conjuration -- you can train it by summoning a bound weapon, sheathing it (making it disappear), then repeating. There's also a companion in Dragonborn that you can get free conjuration training from (pay them, take it out of their inventory, repeat). --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:931525482] in I purchase...

Alternatively you may want to push on with the main quest until you reach one called A Blade in the Dark, which stops all random dragon attacks.

Can I ask, how far into the main quest is this one, After you meet the Greybeards and get sent on an errand you'll find a note asking you to go to a specific spot with a code phrase.
