Smithing, alchemy, and enchanting will allow you to make some stupid powerful gear. Grab every ore, ingot, gemstone, dragon bone or scale, and alchemy ingredient you can.

Enemies scale to your level, regardless of how you got to that level.

This is why I don't understand the people who level sneak to 100 in Helgen. Like okay, you're sneaky, but your 15x damage dagger attack is barely going to tickle the first random bandit you run into, because you have no gear or other skills.

Bosses are immune to the eat command so it won't be possible to end the final boss fight of the game by eating it.

This is why it's best not to level to many skills early on. I always level a lot of different skills from the start and it makes the game get hard fast, especially enemy mages since armor ratting does nothing against magic damage. Speaking of magic, don't bother with destruction. It starts off strong but peaks fast.

That's why I felt like I would screw myself when I would use a mod for faster leveling. All it did would hasten my inevitable ass kicking at the hands of bandit outlaws.

Mods that simply add increased magic damage to the enchanting pool fix this.

So you can enchant to up your damage just like you can for swords etc.

You'll likely end up doing this regardless of your build.

Yes, my tip is stay off the internet so you can just explore and find things organically.

Ok one tip: a lot of people disagree with me, but i recommend staying away from alchemy in any elder scrolls game, because it bogs you down (time and weight capacity) and isn't really fun. The counterargument against me is that you can make some stupidly good potions once your skill level is high enough. It's just not fun getting to that point in my opinion.

My approach to alchemy has always been to hoard ingredients then put on a movie/youtube while mixing

This. I've logged probably 400 hours into the damn game over 4 different runs and I always end up sneak archery no matter what.

Yeah Stealth Archery is OP as hell

Also the game has dragons and flying enemies that make Meele characters a mess

You NEED magic or archery

And magic is more fiddily

Also expect bugs. A lot of them

Save a lot. And if you just got past a shit show then overwrite 2 older saves with your current save. But keep about 10 saves so even if the last 2 put you in a bad spot where you missed something, you won't have to lose more than an hour.
