Skyrim is a great game and for a reason. There's a multitude of ways to play it that cater to the wants of multiple types of people. One way to play Skyrim that I've always found enjoyable is roleplaying. Roleplaying really helps you get into you get into your character and the spirit of the game. If you wish to begin roleplaying in Skyrim and inevitably add a load of fun to your playing, here are a few tips to help you get started:

1. Know your character: Before you begin another life as an adventurer, you should know everything about your character before you begin. Give your character a history. Give your character a personality and a set of morals. Make your character into a person. This sets up a firm foundation for you to begin roleplaying.

Reasons to level smithing in Skyrim

Note: I will strictly not mention power-levelling in this article, as it irritates me no end how people can make a gazillion Iron Daggers, get to level 100 smithing and then complain that the game was too easy.

Hello again, guys. In contrast to my last article, I will be focusing on a specific aspect of Skyrim. Today I will be covering smithing, and why it’s vital for you to progress on this skill early in the game.

Smithing is one of the most important aspects of Skyrim whether you are a Mage, Warrior, Thief or any other class of character. The most prominent reason to level smithing is so that you can make your own weapons and armour, rather than depending on the less reliable merchants and blacksmiths dotted around Skyrim’s many hamlets, towns and cities. Once you are able to craft your own arms, you save lots of money from buying the pieces straight off, as you can find all of the items...

Yeah, whatever! Ok in honor of Valentine’s Day I thought I’d bring up a funny warning to everyone. As you probably know, in Skyrim you can get married! Woohoo! Someone to come home to, cook for you… If only they could organize my house too it’d be perfect! That said after much consideration I chose to marry Onmund.
I’ll be honest, I chose him because I think he is the prettiest...

We all know that Skyrim is a beautiful game and a jaw dropping experience. But we as gamers are so caught up in doing all these quests, we fast travel to, well, get to places faster, thus missing a bunch of unmapped and unheard of places. I am here to share with you some unmapped places in Skyrim that can go from interesting to pointless, but nevertheless, unique in its own way. These places are also known as "secondary" places.

Note that all of the names of these locations are what I call them, since there is not real name for them.

I will start in Haafingar.
Wolf's Fort: If you go from Pinemoon cave to Steepfall Burrow you will find it. You will be walking up on the brick slope, but a dead bloodied soldier will be on it. Lockpick Skill Book-Proper Lock Design will be located on him....
