Why am I dying so much in Skyrim?

You're dying a lot in Skyrim because you're likely under-leveled for an area, haven't upgraded your gear (armor/weapons), spread your skill points too thin, aren't using effective combat strategies (like blocking/dodging/potions), or facing high-level enemies like dragons/giants/casters who counter your build, with difficulty scaling and potential bugs also being factors. To improve, focus on specific skills, upgrade gear, use spells/potions, play to your strengths (stealth, magic, melee), and consider lowering difficulty temporarily.

Why do I die so much in Skyrim?

Make sure you're wearing armor, and maybe try to find/purchase some better armor.

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.
