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

In total, Skyrim is not such a difficult adventure as most beginners imagine it. Having reached high levels of pumping, the player will represent a deadly threat to all life in the district. However, from the initial stages, it would be superfluous to act as accurately and as reasonably as possible.

Before starting the game

An endless stream of questions: "What are the system requirements for the game?", "Skyrim Preservation: where are they on the computer?", "How to optimize the settings?" So far are no less relevant than TES V itself: Skyrim.

However, in all technical nuances and details, we will deal with stage by stage. First, let's define the game requirements for PC components:

Secondly, some users after reading there are doubts in terms of the relevance of computer components. Questions about optimization are typical only for owners of extremely weak PCs by today's standards. The configuration files are located in the My Documents folder, but manually adjusting all parameters to the optimal values - the option is extremely inconvenient. It is much easier to do this directly from the game menu - the result will be similar. In graphics settings at low performance, you need to reduce Shadow Detail and Antialiasing. They have the most impact on the quality of the picture and, accordingly, on the performance of the game.

Concerns about the integrity of your progress

Finally, we solve the problems with the Skyrim save-files. In which directory it is necessary to search for the sector where conservation lies - the most frequent type of questions. Nobody wants to lose the hard-won virtual achievements, so making backup copies will not be superfluous. Fortunately, no one has ever noticed any cases of spoiling such files in the game since the release date. Nevertheless, it is much more reliable to store an additional reserve of conservation in a secluded place.

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

• For example, for Windows 7, the directory with Skyrim save looks like this: * system drive *: \ Users \ * username * \ Documents \ My Games \ Skyrim.

• For Windows XP, this path will look a little different. The main thing is that the end point is in "My Documents". Detailed route: * system drive *: \ Documents and Settings \ * username * \ My documents \ My Games \ Skyrim
• You can use it in a more simple way: it's enough to find in the built-in Windows search engine files with the end of ".ess" - this type has all the Skyrim save.

Strategically important steps

Now is the time to highlight the game moments that every novice in the world of Skyrim will face. Solving initial questions, for example, one of the main: "saving Skyrim - where are they located in different OS?", It's time to understand the endless possibilities and dangers facing the player.

From the first approach to the beginner there will be a problem of choosing a race. In fact - this is a commonplace question of tastes and preferences. Each of the races has its own advantages and everything depends on the style of passing games that is usual for the gamer. For example, brave Khajiit quite a few levels do not need weapons at all, which, on the other hand, slows down their development. Fans of magic and spells are more suitable for the Altmer people, who are famous for their voluminous reserve of manna. In the heat of battle, the orcs will perform well together with their berserkers, and so on.

Questions about weapons in one way or another are reduced to possession of onions. Two fairly powerful in their characteristics of the specimen can be found even at the beginning of the game. One ("called") is located not far from Aivarsted, at Fort Amol. In this place there will still be the quest "Battle for Fort Amol", so it is extremely important to act carefully, without violating the story sequence. To do this, the player just cleans the yard to go down to the prison compartment of the fort and find the volume of spells in the bucket under the lamp, on the right side of the two bookshelves. Summoned by the spell bow, by the way, is a spell "Adept", from which consumes a lot of manna - 186 units. Mages will be more comfortable with him than possessors of other abilities.

The other ("ebonite") is in the commander-draugra, who will wait for the player in the Labyrinthian. Overcome it even at the lowest complexity, not reaching at least 10 levels of pumping, the task is not at all easy, so the first option is much simpler.

In battle, the player will need not only a lethal attack weapon that deals crushing damage to any enemy, but also a quality armor that protects him as much as possible from damage. The easiest way to get more or less good armor is to join the beginning of the game either in the Dark Brotherhood or in the Guild of Thieves. In case you prefer not to contact these factions, while retaining your unshakable neutrality, you should pay attention to the daedric artifacts because the Skin of the Savior will probably be obtained even at the first stages of the game, and the mask of Clavikus Vail is at the 12th level.

Finally, it is completely useless to sit out for a long time in one place - only wandering through the expanses of Skyrim the player will meet a lot of opportunities to significantly improve his well-being: check caves, overcome powerful enemies and collect precious trophies.

Why live weak and helpless?

By the way, do not forget about saving Skyrim (where are these indicators, we described above), because progress alone will not perpetuate. Another important thing to remember is that Skyrim is strong in the one who follows the story line correctly, as in the direct corridor, and the one, first and foremost, carefully arranges a plan for his own pumping based on some tricks of gameplay. And only then the player has all the chances to get a battle-worthy character, which is much more effective coping with the emerging tasks and problems as they pass.

First of all, use cunning tactics in combat, aimed at developing certain skills. Finding out a shield, find in the open spaces a couple of enemies with a two-handed cold weapon, forcing them to attack you for several minutes. Thus, the skill "Blocking" will increase, so that your chances of defending and surviving in battle will be incomparably greater.

Take care and that the first city, which you will get in the beginning of your journey, was Viteran. When you reach him, go in search of a teacher of alchemy - Arcadia (you will need to have an initial capital for this). Having acquired the knowledge of this craft, you will have to steal it by taking lessons again. In addition to "Alchemy" points, the player will also receive "Pocket Theft" points. It is enough to act on such a plan until reaching the 5-6 level, after which, at last, paying Arcadia, the funds put to her for pumping.

Iron daggers are a real gold mine. While mining the skin with iron ingots, hit as many of these guns as possible. Having mastered the "Exile" skill, you can enchant each of them with the help of any soul stone, so that the price tag of daggers increases to 3000 coins. Do not forget that at the same time you also pump skills of blacksmithing.

A more effective way of forging skills of a blacksmith (and also "Alchemy") is to enchant at least 5 items of equipment so that they give you a plus to these skills. This approach will give the player immediately a number of new useful features:

• You can create a superweapon.
• You can quickly implement a scheme with iron daggers.
• The player will be able to make expensive potions (3000 coins per bottle). At the same time for each such production the player starts to be credited with 1 point to the skill "Alchemy".

For more convenience, do not forget to give the enchanted items of equipment the appropriate catchy names, which will help you to distinguish them from all other good in the inventory if necessary to change.

Magical abilities in the game are extremely slow, so take the time and opportunity to visit the College of Winterhold, talking to all the local inhabitants. It is easier to pump out the "Illusion", everywhere and constantly summoning the incantations "Muffled Steps" and "Invisibility".

Farewell to each recruit

High levels of development in the heart of the narrative narrative is not a heavy titanic labor of zealous fans, ready to sacrifice a considerable time of their lives for the sake of pumping. In the case of TES 5: Skyrim is a cold, clever calculation while observing a number of tricky tricks. This approach gives excellent results, without requiring the player to sit behind the monitor day after night. Therefore, dare, taking on arms such methods.

It is also necessary to confidently understand and in some technical nuances, including in the conservation of Skyrim. Where are the appropriate ess-type files, which components are suitable for starting the game and how to optimize performance in the settings - all this at the first case will understand and master any newcomer.

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