Can you have too many saves in Skyrim?

Yes, you can have too many saves in Skyrim, especially on older consoles (like Xbox 360) where hitting around 1,000 saves could break the game, but on PC, the limit is much higher (thousands), though a massive number of saves can slow down saving/loading and potentially cause instability, requiring manual cleanup for best performance. The primary issue isn't game performance with just one character's saves, but rather the sheer volume of save files (especially auto/quick saves) eventually consuming storage and potentially hitting internal limits or causing glitches.

Are too many saves bad for Skyrim?

The number of saves you have should not affect game performance. The only real downside to a lot of save files is that it takes up storage space on your C: drive. I typically make a hard save before starting a new quest just in case it glitches. I also make a hard save after finishing a quest.

Will I lose everything if I Delete Skyrim?

No, you won't lose everything if you delete Skyrim, but you will lose your in-game progress (saves) and potentially your mods, depending on how you uninstall and if you back up your files. Your Steam Cloud usually keeps saves, but manual backups of your save folder (Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves) are smart, and you'll likely need to reinstall mods separately or re-download them via your manager (Vortex, MO2) after reinstalling the base game.

What is the rarest thing in Skyrim?

The "rarest" item in Skyrim is subjective, but often cited are uniquely named, single-occurrence items like the Notched Pickaxe (found near a skeleton) or Cabo Zane's Fane (a dagger for slicing dragon scales), or quest-specific items like Barenziah's Crown or Colovian Brandy, which can be permanently missed if choices aren't made carefully, making them rare through player error rather than inherent scarcity. Truly rare items are often unique artifacts or quest rewards that have no other source in the game, like Daedric artifacts or unique weapons such as Firiniel's End, but many players consider quest-critical items that can be permanently lost to be the rarest.

Is there actually 7000 steps in Skyrim?

Trivia. In an interview, Todd Howard jokingly mentioned that he would count all the steps leading up to High Hrothgar to make sure it's 7,000. Counting each visible step will only get one to around 700–800, though the path itself is quite worn and snow seems to cover much of it.

Is Skyrim a never-ending game?

Skyrim isn't technically endless, as its main story and major questlines have definite endings, but it offers a virtually infinite amount of content through its massive open world and procedurally generated "radiant quests," making it a game you can genuinely play forever, especially with mods. These looping, random quests from factions like the Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and Companions keep generating tasks (fetch quests, dungeon clears, assassinations), ensuring there's always something to do after major stories conclude.

What is a do not delete chest in Skyrim?

The "Do Not Delete chest" in Skyrim is a developer placeholder item, usually found out-of-bounds or glitching into normal areas (like under counters in the Drunken Huntsman or Dragon's Reach) that manages bounty values for Thieves Guild quests, appearing as a small floating chest with no physics. Players often glitch into it using plates or by stacking them to create stairways, but taking it from merchants can sometimes cause issues, though it's generally harmless if acquired and used carefully as a stepladder or for exploration.
