* Sometimes it'll feel like dialogue is forcing you into a corner. Remember, you can always exit dialogue without agreeing to someone by hitting Tab (or whatever the menu-close button is on the consoles). | * Sometimes it'll feel like dialogue is forcing you into a corner.

* It's actually very easy to gimp your character early o - ll you have to do is spend time leveling non-combat skills. You should really focus your first 5-10 levels on going out and killing things. Doesn't matter if you're using bows or two-handed maces or destruction spells, you want to have a solid combat base early on. If you blow your early levels increasing skills like Enchanting, Sneaking or Speech, the combat can easily outpace you in the meantime. This balances out around level 10 or 15 as you stop gaining levels so quickly and can afford to focus on both combat and non-combat skills. | * It's actually very easy to gimp your character early o TEMPORARY-DASH-CHARACTER ll you have to do is spend time leveling non-combat skills.

* See, unlike other games like Fallout, you can't just talk your way out of combat in Skyrim. Sure there's a speech skill, but it's horribly implemented and won't let you opt out of a lot of combat. So you can be as diligent as you like increasing things like Speech and Pickpocket and Sneak, but unless you're combining those with direct combat abilities (and I mean investing in perk trees as well, not just increasing the skill values) you're going to get left behind in combat at higher levels. | * See, unlike other games like Fallout, you can't just talk your way out of combat in Skyrim.
