Forgot how to enjoy Skyrim ?

[Agmen of Eladesor]

Oh, I don't know. I'm considering scrapping my first character after about 20 hours in, although I'll probably keep him going simply because it's so darned interesting a game. I'm not sure how you could finish the main quest so quickly - it took me about 10 tries just to get up the 7,000 steps due to the critters that live there eating my face.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.

never ever do the main quest first leave it almost the last

It's always been a problem in TES games that it's easy to totally break your character and make it so weak that you won't be very good at anything. It does seem harder in Skyrim, though--I've been focusing largely on non-combat skills (smithing, enchanting, etc) and I still do pretty well out in the wild, especially when I manage a 15x dual dagger backstab on something. Nearly one-shot a dragon that way :D

Never failed me.

I scrapped my first character last night, because I had so totally borked the perks on the lower levels that with him at level 12 there had been a huge waste of experience.

That and I didn't realize about followers - that you can have people chugging along behind you as extra weapons or pack mules. That is SO incredibly helpful - especially when they're also your trainers.

If you don't want to re-roll, just use console commands.

player.setrace desiredrace
showracemenu

If you just do "showplayermenu" there's a high chance it will mess up your perks and skill levels.

I also advise on keeping the same character name when you do that.

I've used it a couple of times and it worked flawlessly, switching from female Nord female to Redguard male and then to Imperial female.

In any case, I recommend saving your game before trying this, just to be sure.

I re-rolled with a new character, the game totally got me again. : )

Or that. To be honest, I can't get enough of it. Even watching videos of it on Youtube still gets me excited. Gotta say, social life has had better times.

[Korny]

Same for me. But hell, to all them hobo's yelling at me to stop wasting time:

"Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time" -Bertrand Russell or Beatrix Russell from Fallout NV (See the "coincidence"?) Hail Bethesda!

I am currently incapable of progressing anywhere in the storyline because I keep getting sidetracked. It got a bit ridiculous when I finally forced myself to leave Whiterun behind and progess the story, somehow I ended up having a drinking contest in Ivarstead and waking up at the other end of the map in a town that is far too interesting to leave without completing all the quests there first.
