tgm - God Mode; This code unlocks invincibility, magicka and stamina. This is one of the best codes to use when you're looking to muscle your way through the game. In this mode, you can't take damage or be killed.
In Skyrim, max health is unlimited but practically achievable through leveling (adding 10 health per level for 900 total without focusing), enchanting gear, potions, blessings, and vampire/necromage boosts; you can also use console commands like player.setav health X on PC for instant maxing. Focus on Endurance for base health, use Fortify Health gear/potions for temporary boosts, and seek shrines (Arkay in Whiterun's Hall of Dead) or Vampire Lord buffs for permanent increases, or use console commands for instant results.
PC players can use console commands to bring Lydia back to life by clicking on her and typing "resurrect" into the console, or simply typing "000A2C94. resurrect." Make Lydia immortal by marking her as an essential Npc using console commands or download mods to prevent her from dying in Skyrim.
Playing Skyrim without mods saves you time, letting you enjoy the game immediately. And you won't quit after just an hour or two, as if you had taken an arrow to the knee, realizing you've spent more time installing mods than actually playing.
Serana can turn you into a Vampire Lord an unlimited number of times, provided you've completed the Dawnguard questline and haven't persuaded her to cure herself. After the main quest, you can simply ask her to transform you as often as you like, but you'll need to get cured by Harkon or a priest to interact normally with the Dawnguard again.
There's no single "strongest" race in Skyrim, as it depends on playstyle, but Orcs dominate melee/tank builds with their Berserker Rage (double damage, half damage taken). For mages, High Elves (Altmer) are supreme due to their massive Magicka pool and Highborn ability for rapid regeneration. Redguards excel with blades, Nords are great warriors with Frost Resist, and Bretons are fantastic for magic defense with their Magic Resistance.
Choosing between Dawnguard or Vampire in Skyrim's DLC depends on your playstyle: Dawnguard offers powerful crossbows, unique sun-based spells, trolls, and a focus on traditional vampire hunting, while Vampires provide the potent Vampire Lord form with unique powers, vampire-specific jewelry, and a darker roleplaying experience, though becoming a vampire early can alienate Dawnguard members and vendors. You can even join the Vampires later as a Dawnguard member for a mix of rewards, but expect bugs with Dawnguard interactions.
Whether you should cure lycanthropy in Skyrim depends on your playstyle: keep it for disease immunity and powerful Beast Form (unlimited uses with Hircine's Ring), but cure it to get restful sleep bonuses (like Lover's Comfort) and avoid losing your human form for looting/interaction; curing lets you become a Vampire Lord or back to normal for different benefits, but you can re-contract it later.
Ring immunity is a form of protection from an infectious disease where a 'ring' of immune people is created around each infected individual to stop the spread of the disease.
Skyrim finally truly beaten as fanatical player does 'everything that can be done' in the game, nabbing every item and perk in quest to hit level 1,337. This is how our grandparents felt watching the Moon landing.
Dirty edits are often a side-effect of mod creation, and are often due to bugs in the utilities Bethesda has provided to create mods, rather than bad practice by mod authors. Dirty edits can cause a wide range of issues, including incorrect game settings, missing content, broken quests and crashing to desktop.
Yes, Elden Ring is significantly harder than Skyrim, primarily due to its demanding, skill-based combat, tough bosses, and punishing mechanics, while Skyrim is known for its freedom, exploration, and adjustable difficulty where players can become overpowered, making Elden Ring the more challenging but rewarding experience.
In Skyrim, you can marry over 60 NPCs, regardless of your Dragonborn's gender or race, from all races except Khajiit, by completing specific conditions (quests/tasks) for them and proposing while wearing an Amulet of Mara, with popular choices including Aela the Huntress, Mjoll the Lioness, Lydia, Ysolda, or Muiri, who offer daily gold, home-cooked meals, and buffs.
You generally can't truly revive dead followers in vanilla Skyrim without glitches or console commands (PC), requiring you to reload an earlier save, but Mods offer spells (Cheat Room, Restoration mods) or making them essential; otherwise, use console commands like prid <RefID> then resurrect 1 on PC for temporary fixes.
What happens if you max out a legendary skill in Skyrim?
Players get the option to reset their skill to a base level of 15 when the skill is maxed out at 100 in Legendary Skills. This option thus enables them to level up without needing to continuously change their skills.
Yes, you can 100% Skyrim (achievements, quests, discoveries) in a single playthrough, but it's a massive undertaking requiring hundreds of hours and careful choices, especially regarding faction conflicts and DLCs, with some even suggesting multiple focused sessions for the most thorough completion. While many players achieve 100% achievements on one character, it's a long journey (200-300+ hours) focusing on maxing skills, completing all quests/DLCs, and discovering everything, often involving some unique methods like transforming into a werewolf/vampire to get those specific perks.
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.
