For beginners about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. How to find the Skyrim save, where are the settings files and how quickly to pump the character.

In total Skyrim - not so complexadventure, as most newcomers imagine it. Having reached high levels of pumping, the player will pose a mortal threat to all life in the district. However, from the initial stages, it will be superfluous to act as accurately and as reasonably as possible.

Before running the game

Endless stream of questions:“What are the system requirements for the game?”, “Skyrim saving: where are they on the computer?”, “How to optimize the settings?” Are still no less relevant than TES V: Skyrim itself.

However, in all technical nuances and details, we will sort out step by step. First, we define the game requirements for the components of the PC:

Secondly, some users afterreadings arise doubts in terms of the relevance of computer components. Questions about optimization are characteristic only for owners of extremely weak by today's PC standards. The settings files are located in the My Documents folder, but manually adjusting all the parameters to the optimal values ​​is an extremely inconvenient option. It is much easier to do this directly from the game menu - the result will be the same. In graphic settings with low performance, it is necessary to reduce the items of shadow detail (Shadow Detail) and anti-aliasing (Antialiasing). It is they who most of all affect the quality of the picture and, accordingly, the performance of the game.

Concerns about the integrity of their progress

Finally, we solve problems with the Skyrim save files.In which directory you need to look for the sector where the preservation lies - the most common type of questions. No one wants to lose the hard-won virtual achievements, so making backup copies will definitely not be superfluous. Fortunately, no one has ever noticed any cases of damage to such files in the game since the day of release. Nevertheless, it is much more reliable to keep an additional reserve of savings in a secluded place.

As in most games, such files are stored in the system documents folder (in the same place as the user's settings). However, on different versions of Windows, the path to this folder may be slightly different.

• For example, for Windows 7, the Skyrim save directory looks like this: * system_disk *: Users * user_name * DocumentsMy GamesSkyrim.

• Для Windows XP этот путь будет выглядеть немного differently. The main thing is that the end point is in “My Documents”. Detailed route: * system_disk *: Documents and Settings * user_name * My documentsMy GamesSkyrim
• You can also use a simpler method: it is enough to find files with the ending “.ess” in the search engine built into Windows, this is what all Skyrim saves have.

Strategic steps

Now is the time to highlight the game moments, withthat every newcomer in the world of Skyrim will face. Having solved the initial questions, for example, one of the main ones: “saving Skyrim - where are they in different operating systems?”, It's time to understand the endless possibilities and dangers that appear before a player.

From the first approach before the beginner there will be a problemchoice of race. In fact, this is a trivial matter of tastes and preferences. Each of the races has its advantages and it all depends on the gamer's usual style of playthroughs. For example, the brave Kajites quite a few levels do not need weapons at all, which, on the other hand, retards their development. Lovers of magic and spells are more suitable for the people of Altmer, who are famous for their bulk manna. In the heat of battle, the orcs will show their worth, along with their berserk, etc.

Вопросы о вооружении так или иначе сводятся к possession of onions. Two quite powerful in its characteristics specimen can be found even at the beginning of the game. One ("called") is located near Aivarsted, in Fort Amol. In this place there will still be the quest “Battle for Fort Amol”, so it is extremely important to act carefully, without disturbing the plot sequence. To do this, the player only cleans the yard to go down to the fort's prison compartment and find the spell volume, located in the bucket under the lamp, on the right side of the two bookshelves. A bow called with a spell, by the way, is an Adept level spell, which consumes a lot of manna - 186 units. Mages with him will be much more comfortable to handle than the owners of other abilities.

The other (“ebonite”) is located atwarlord-Draugra, who will be waiting for a player in Labyrinthian. To overcome it even on the lowest difficulty, not reaching at least 10 level of pumping, the task is not at all easy, so the first option is much simpler.

In battle, the player will need not only deadlyan attack weapon that deals devastating damage to any enemy, but also high-quality armor that protects him as much as possible from damage. The easiest way to get more or less good battens is to join the Dark Brotherhood or the Thieves Guild at the start of the game. If you prefer not to get involved with these factions, retaining your unshakable neutrality, then you should pay attention to the Daedric artifacts, because the Savior's Skin may be obtained even at the first stages of the game, and the mask of Klaikikus Vayla is at the 12th level.

Finally, it’s completely useless to stay longin one place - just wandering across the expanses of Skyrim, the player will meet a lot of opportunities to significantly improve their well-being: check the caves, defeat strong enemies and collect precious trophies.

Why live the weak and helpless?

By the way, do not forget about saving Skyrim(where these indicators are located, we described above), since progress alone will not perpetuate. It is also important to remember: Strong in Skyrim is not the one who faithfully follows the storyline, as if along a straight corridor, but the one who first and foremost prudently builds his own leveling plan based on some gameplay tricks. And only then the player has all the chances to get a combat-ready character, who is much more efficient in coping with the tasks and problems that appear as they progress.

First of all, use clever tactics in battle,aimed at developing certain skills. Having got hold of a shield, find a couple of enemies in the expanses with two-handed melee weapons, forcing them to attack you for a few minutes. Thus, the blocking skill will increase, so that your chances of defending and surviving in battle will be incomparably greater.

Take care and that the first city inwhich you will arrive at the beginning of your journey, was Vajtran. After reaching it, go in search of a teacher of alchemy - Arcadia (for this you will need to have initial capital). Having gained knowledge of this craft, it is necessary to rob her, having re-learned her lessons. In addition to the Alchemy points, the player will also receive Pocket Theft points. It is enough to act according to such a plan until reaching level 5-6, after which, finally, having paid Arkady, the means assigned to her for pumping.

Железные кинжалы – самая настоящая золотая жила.Mining the skin with iron bars, forge as many of these guns as possible. Having mastered the skill “Exile”, you will be able to enchant each of them with the help of any soul stone, thanks to which the price tag of daggers rises to 3,000 coins. Do not forget that in this case, in addition, you are pumping blacksmithing skills.

More effective way to improve skillsA blacksmith (and also "Alchemy") - enchant at least 5 pieces of equipment in such a way that they will give you as a result, plus these skills. This approach will give the player a number of new useful features at once:

• You can create a super-weapon.
• You can quickly implement a scheme with iron daggers.
• The player will be able to make expensive potions (3000 coins per bottle). In this case, for each such production, the player begins to be credited by 1 point in the skill "Alchemy".

For more convenience, do not forget to giveEnchanted items of equipment corresponding catchy names that will help you to distinguish them from all the other good in your inventory if you need to change.

Магические способности в игре прокачиваются extremely slowly, so take the time and opportunity to visit Winterhold College, after talking with all the local inhabitants. It is easier to just pump over the “Illusion”, everywhere and constantly calling on the “Muffled Foots” and “Invisibility” spells.

Parting words to every recruit

High levels of development in the heart of the plotnarration is not a hard titanic work of diligent fans who are ready to sacrifice a considerable amount of their life for the sake of pumping. In the case of TES 5: Skyrim is a cool, smart calculation, subject to a number of cunning tricks. This approach gives excellent results, without requiring the player to sit at the monitor day and night. Therefore, dare, adopting similar techniques.

It is also necessary to confidently understand andin some technical nuances, including in matters of preserving Skyrim. Where are the corresponding files of the ess-type, which components are suitable for running the game and how to optimize performance in the settings - all this will be understood and mastered by any newcomer at the first occasion.

But all the most important and interesting, of course, will be waiting for you only in the game itself.
