Thanks to how expansiveSkyrimis, you can play the game in a whole host of different ways. You can create any kind of character you want, join any guild, and do or ignore whichever quests you like, giving you the ultimate player-choice experience.

It’s wonderful to have all that choice, but that also means you can choose to play everything wrong. Skyrim is all about being a hero, saving people, and saving the world, but you can choose differently. You could go out there and end an Avengers-level threat, or you could avoid the glowing orange portal altogether to go and do something much more mundane. That might not apply to Skyrim, but you get my point.
10Filling It With Ridiculous Mods
I have absolutely nothing against modding; it’sa great way for a community to add depth to an experience. You could play everything vanilla, but there’s no sense in doing that when you could add in a couple of Macho Man Randy Savage dragons to scream at you on your adventures.
You could add in a goofy Wilhelm scream whenever enemies die, introduce all kinds of weird characters into the mix, and just make your adventure something out of a Lewis Carroll fever dream.
9Become A Master Merchant
Skyrim might be a game of action and adventure, but you could choose to play the whole thing in a much more mundane fashion. Rather than becoming a master of dragons, you could choose to become a master of the economy as a merchant.
You’ll be turning Skyrim into a very, very different game, but when a game gives you options, it’s your job to exercise those options. You can become the most frugal business owner to ever grace Tamriel, and that’s saying something because we all know Belethor.
8Be A Cowardly Hero
A major part of Skyrim is roleplaying, and one of the funniest ways to roleplay would be to be as averse to heroics as possible. You could be the most unlikely hero in existence by managing to save the world while avoiding combat and scary dungeons at all costs.

Afraid of the dark? You better have some light nearby. Don’t want to fight? You best have a burly companion next to you just waiting for some fools to slay. It’s probably not an easy playthrough, but it’s one that would provide plenty of laughs.
7Never Save The World
The main questline of Skyrim takes you on a massive adventure, but you could decide that being the hero that the world needs isn’t really your thing. You could decide that at any point, but regardless of when you make that decision, the world’s going to have to save itself.
You’ll be too busy withall your buddies in the Thieves Guildand all those misadventures. The fate of the world might be hanging in the balance, but maybe there’s another Dragon-Born out there somewhere with a bit quieter of a shout that no one’s heard yet.
6Live The Life Of A Villager
If you want to experience what it’s like to be a completely average person in Skyrim, you really could just do that. You could put everything in order to do the last adventuring possible to secure yourself a family, a house, and your own little business that keeps you sustained.
What your plan is for when a Dragon attacks wherever you’ve set up your little home is a totally different question, but that’s what all those guards are for! They’ll put an arrow in those dragon’s knees, keeping you from ever needing to lift a blade.
5Become A Complete Monster
If becoming the model villager isn’t really your speed, you could always become the most twisted being in existence and absolutely decimate everything and everyone you come across. It’s going to make doing much of anything tough, but who cares about that when you’re the toughest?
You can’t actually decimate everyone entirely, but just knocking someone out for a while is a great optionfor those stubborn NPCs, you’ll be gone long before they wake up. I don’t think this is what people mean when they say slay, but you know what, you go slay Skyrim.
4Master Of The Fast Travel
Depending on who you ask, ever using fast travel in a game like Skyrim might be seriously frowned upon. After all, you are breaking your immersion to save a few minutes to get to the other side of that absolute beast of a mountain.
There’s no way better to get to the town over than by using a fast travel. You may miss out on all the exciting adventures your character is having during the travel, but maybe they’re blacking out and don’t quite remember it themselves. you may justify your way into anything in this game.
3Never Accept Any Quests
I really don’t know what the point of playing Skyrim isif you aren’t actively questing, which is exactly why you could avoid all of them altogether. You could just escape from that initial dragon attack and live the rest of your life out in the wild, far from those pesky quests.

It’s time that the people of Skyrim learn to solve their own problems anyway. It doesn’t really make sense that a single hero is going across the entire land partaking in every guild and war in sight. That’s all too exciting — go live with the giants and avoid being swung into the sky.
2Ignoring All The Dialogue And Story
There is a lot to love about the narrative of Skyrim, which is why you should completely skip all of it and absolutely ignore all of the dialogue spoken to your character. It would be more like having an internal soundtrack playing at all times.
Your character just can’t quite make out the words because he’s stuck humming that catchy new ye olde Taylorus Swifticus tune. You’ll just luck into saving the world because it was on your way to the next town to pick up a few arrows, not because someone gave you a vital quest to complete.
1Not Roleplaying
Roleplaying might just be thebiggest draw and self-imposed challenge of Skyrim, and you could completely ignore it altogether. Forget playing as a mighty and kind-hearted knight — you can just play as Diego, the dude with the controller.
I don’t mean making yourself in the game either. I mean you’re just there doing the thing you’ve grown accustomed to doing after years of gaming. You’re going to play the game, skip the parts you don’t care about, and enjoy the fun bits, and none of it is going to make any difference to your character.
