The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Basics Guide: General Tips – Storage And Books

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is definitely one of the most successful releases of this generation: the game managed to make the whole series more known and successful to the general public. With the game being so popular and with all the recent additions brought in by new title updates, it’s time that we cover the many aspects of the game. The amount of stuff to do in the game is truly overwhelming: adventuring and battling are only the tip of the iceberg. To truly succeed in Skyrim you will require a deep knowledge of all its gameplay elements and here we are, ready to guide you while we delve deeper in everything the game has to offer.

However before getting to the more advanced stuff we will be covering some of the basics of the game for all those who are just starting the game and are feeling a bit confused at all the gameplay options offered by Skyrim. After we’re done with the basics we will be covering everything else so that even advanced players will find something useful in these Skyrim guides.

• Storage

Managing your inventory can be quite a problem sometimes but there are ways to make it less painful than it is. You can use your followers to carry items for you: however they too have limited space so you will have to find other solutions to the problem. Using barrels to hide items is another good way to go but you have to remember which barrel contains which items, which may become even more bothersome than keeping the items between you and your followers. Once you have a property you can use the containers to safely store your items inside them.

• Books

Skyrim has a lot book. Really, a lot. Players who love getting informed on the world’s lore and history will probably read all of them while other players may skip over them. What these players don’t know is that not all books are there just to teach you on the world’s history and traditions. Some of them are Skill Books and some give you quests. When finding books, use your crosshair to see the book’s value: if it’s over 50 gold, there’s a high chance that book is a Skill Book.
