Skyrim – How to get started

Here are some tips to get started in the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

If you choose your character to be an Imperial, you will have some extra luck in finding coins. This only matters in the beginning of the game, where gold is short.

Follow your companion to the town  Riverwood. Here you can:

• Earn gold by chopping wood and selling it to Hod
• Solve the quest “A Love Letter” and get a follower. Very nice to have someone to help you in future battles.
• Solve the quest “The Golden Claw” and get a reward of 400 gold.

Any blacksmith will learn you the basic if you ask him about helping him.

You can harvest vegetables in the fields and sell them to the farmer.

Elite Sniper V2 Game Tips

Sniper Elite is a great game for those with no urge to rush through a game. Take your time and enjoy your silent but deadly progress through each map. In Sniper Elite the goal isn’t to set a new time record. Be a ghost!

Here are the in-game tips:
(On-screen when the game is loading)

Movement

• Moving while crouched generates no noise. Use this to sneak up on enemies.
• Keep your distance from enemies. They are devastating up close.
• Frequently relocate to keep your enemies from hunting you down.

Weapons

• Enter ‘Empty Lung’ mode when your heart rate is sufficiently low and time will appear to slow down.
• Use Mouse Wheel Up to aim the sniper rifle without looking through the scope.
• Welrod kills are silent.
• Quickly equip a grenade with 4.

Ballistics

• Compensate for the effects of gravity on long shots by aiming above your targets.

 Tactical assistance

• When an enemy loses sight of you, the ghost image indicates your last known position.
• Press Mouse 1 to tag enemies while looking at them through the binoculars.
• Use the Threat Indicator to keep out of sight and line of fire. White: You’re in line of sight. Yellow: You’re visible but not noticed yet. Red: You are revealed!
• Use the Aim Assistance in ‘Empty Lung’ mode to help you counterfit the gravity.

Actions
