Rather than falling into pitfalls or finding out crucial information after the fact, we've compiled a few things you may want to avoid doing in Skyrim.

While it's understandable that you want your character to be a god at everything: a master fighter mage thief alchemist who excels at all kinds of weaponry - remember that the game evolves with you. While not scaled to the extent that Oblivion was, expect enemies to keep up with you as you level. That doesn't mean they will always be as strong as you, but they will increase as long as you keep leveling up and gaining Skills. This means if you spend 10 levels only building up non- combat skills , you may find that enemies will be tougher then when you last encountered them, especially if you aren't learning new combat skills as well.

Spreading your points too thin can have the same effect, so perhaps its best to hold off leveling up some magic skills if you've already committed to being a heavy armor warrior wielding two-handed weapons. This may sound absurd, but every thief should know you can't have any witnesses when you attempt to commit a crime - and that includes animals.

Oddly enough, the animals of Skyrim are as aware of theft as any human, and should you steal from someone while a horse , chicken , or other domestic animal is watching - expect them to alert the proper authorities.

This goes double for trying to kill said animals, as the people of the town will become very unhappy with you murdering their livestock. You cannot. This also includes any children - no matter how annoying they may be. Unless you have a mod that disables Essential NPCs , attacking an Essential NPC until their health runs out will only put them in a state of recovery for a short while until they get back up and their health returns to full.

This can make "Town Murder Sprees" problematic when you encounter several NPCs that cannot be killed, effectively making it impossible to completely wipe out a town.

Try just 'drop' to drop absolutely everything you're carrying. Can't find that vital key? Lockpicking skill too low? Open the console, click on the door or chest you want to unlock, and type "unlock" into the console.

If only this worked in real life. For the opposite effect, you can set chests, doors or NPCs? Look at the thing you want to kill, open the console, click on the target, and type this command.

They'll fall over in a very dead manner. Target the thing you want to bring back to life, and they'll get up in a very alive manner. Follow it with a 1 to resurrect them with all items intact. Target a character and type this and you'll get all their items—including their clothes. Note: does not work in real life. Click on an NPC and use this command to add them to a faction. It's not just about Stormcloaks and Imperials though. Using C84D will add a character to the follower faction, giving them the necessary dialogue to join you, while will add them to the 'potential spouse' faction, allowing you to marry them.

This won't work on NPCs with unique voices however, so you won't be able to wed Esbern or General Tullius any time soon. Also known as the 'I have no mouth and I must scream' command.

Disable banishes the selected NPC to some sort of weird coding limbo. They become invisible, have no collisions and AI won't interact with them, but they're still technically there. Undoes the effects of the Disable command. Disabling and then Enabling your follower will reset them to your current level, which is a handy way of making sure they stay useful in a fight.

It might be fun putting on god mode and becoming immortal, but don't you get a little lonely knowing that one day all the other characters you love will die? I know I do. Thankfully there's a solution: simply use this console command with a 1 to set characters to 'essential', which means they'll take damage until they fall on their knees, but then get up again.

Using it with a 0 will turn essential characters mortal, but be careful with that, Bethesda probably made them immortal for a reason.

This command sets you as the owner of the targeted item, removing all those annoying 'stolen' tags from your ill gotten gains. Click on an NPC and type this to force them to put the item they're holding away.

Useful if they're holding a sword you want. Unsurprisingly, dispells all spells on the target NPC. This won't work on werewolves, as they technically become a different NPC when they transform. Marking an item for deletion sends a contract to the Dark Brotherhood, ensuring it will never been seen or heard from again. It will be removed from the world the next time you load an area. A useful way to get rid of annoying things like ash piles that never seem to go away.

This allows you to move the quests you're playing back to a prior stage or forward to a new one. Useful if you've somehow broken it by murdering the wrong NPC.
