In which order should you play Skyrim?

There's no single "correct" order to play Skyrim; the beauty is in player freedom, but generally, you can mix the Main Quest (MQ) with Faction quests (Companions, College of Winterhold, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood) and exploring, though many recommend doing the Dawnguard DLC around level 10, some key early miscellaneous quests (like Blood on the Ice) early for bug avoidance, and the Dragonborn DLC later, as its challenges are tougher. Start with the MQ to unlock shouts and get grounded, then "freebird" (explore freely) or tackle guilds/DLCs as you see fit, taking breaks between MQ beats for side content.

Is there a certain order to play Skyrim?

You can do the quests in pretty much every order. However I'd advise you to follow the main questline until 1)you get your first Black Book and 2) you meet Neloth. This is just for having a more coherent story.

Should I do Dragonborn or Dawnguard first?

Technically and story-wise you can do them in either order. However, the Dragonborn DLC is significantly harder/requires a higher level than the Dawnguard DLC - even though you are introduced to the Dragonborn DLC earlier. You get the Dragonborn quest right after you speak to the Greybeards.

Is there a right or wrong way to play Skyrim?

There's no right way or wrong way to play Skyrim. Want to focus on main quests or side quests, entirely up to you. Want to explore caves, go right ahead. Only one piece of advice I'd offer is to do the Dawnguard DLC soon after you hit level 10.

Can I still be a vampire if I join Dawnguard?

Yes, you can join the Dawnguard as a vampire, but only up to a certain point; the Dawnguard leader, Isran, will discover your condition and send you to be cured by Falion in Morthal before you can progress further in the main questline, though you can become a Vampire Lord later through Serana after completing the DLC, or side with the Volkihar vampires entirely at the beginning.

Is it better to side with vampires or Dawnguard?

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.

What's the best character to start with in Skyrim?

In Skyrim's opening, the main choice after the dragon attack is escaping Helgen with either Hadvar (Imperial) or Ralof (Stormcloak), a decision that offers minor early-game benefits like specific armor (heavy with Ralof, light with Hadvar) or access to smithing supplies (Hadvar), but has no major impact on the overall story, allowing you to join either faction later. Hadvar leads to a blacksmith who provides ingots, while Ralof leads to a Stormcloak family; choose based on your preferred early loot or roleplaying.

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 an infinite 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.

Is it possible to 100% Skyrim in one playthrough?

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.

Is Skyrim the longest game ever?

The Verdict: Who Takes the Crown? (And Does It Even Matter?)

The truth is, the "longest game" is subjective and depends on how you measure it. EVE Online probably wins because of the nature of the game and its mechanics. Skyrim and Animal Crossing also win because of the sheer amount of things to do.
