INTRODUCCIÓN
Greetings, future Dragonborn! Welcome to the expansive world of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, an immersive, action-packed role-playing video game that will sweep you off into a realm of dragons, dark elves, and enchanted weaponry. This beginner-friendly guide is your ticket to understanding and navigating this epic world so you can start your journey as the heroic savior known as Dragonborn. But strap on tight, because this isn’t any ordinary journey; this is the quest of a lifetime.
WHAT IS ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM?
Released by Bethesda Game Studios in 2011, Skyrim is the fifth installment in The Elder Scrolls series. Set in the craggy peaks and sweeping valleys of northern Tamriel (a large continent that makes up the game’s world), Skyrim allows players to follow whatever path they please. From a fearsome warrior decimating anyone who challenges your might, to a clever thief picking locks and pockets, to a wise mage shaping the very forces of nature to your will, you can play Skyrim any way you want. Take part in civil wars, join mythical guilds, or simply explore the gem-filled caves and dragon-infested peaks. The game is renowned for its depth, with a sprawling map, hundreds of unique characters, and literally thousands of side-quests, Skyrim promises a rich and immersive role-playing adventure.
HOW IT WORKS / HOW TO GET STARTED
Getting started in Skyrim isn’t overly complex. The game prompts you to design your character’s appearance, race, and skills. Once you’ve made these choices, you’re thrust into the world of Skyrim through an exciting and fast-paced introduction that lands you in the small village of Riverwood. From there, your story begins.
In terms of gameplay, you control your character from a first-person or third-person perspective. The world of Skyrim is a sandbox environment – you can go anywhere and do anything at any time. Each choice you make, from the factions you join to the ways you interact with non-playing characters (NPCs), influences how your story unfolds.
LO QUE NECESITAS PARA JUGAR
All you need to begin your adventure in Skyrim is a gaming console or computer that meets the specifications required by the game. Skyrim can be played on PlayStation, Xbox, or on your home PC. You’ll need to purchase a copy of the game either physically or digitally, via game stores or online platforms like Steam. Additionally, there are also Enhanced/ Special Editions available, which offer improved graphics and include all of the game’s downloadable content.
TIPS FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS
1. Save frequently: Skyrim can be a dangerous place. The ability to save anytime offers a life-line when things go south.
2. Focus on a few skills: Don’t spread your perks too thinly among too many skills, especially early on. Focusing can help you master key abilities sooner.
3. Don’t kill blindly: Killing certain characters can prevent or alter quests.
4. Explore: Skyrim rewards exploration. Don’t be afraid to wander off the beaten path.
5. Use your shouts: They can turn the tide of battle.
