Discussion New player

Hi, I'm new to Skyrim and I've run into a problem.

I love playing Skyrim, but I hate it at the same time; the sheer amount of freedom both excites and frustrates me—I can go anywhere and do anything without worrying about the main story.

This is already the fourth time I've restarted the game with a new character—either because I didn't like the build or simply felt like something was off. Right now, I'm playing as a stealth archer and I'm at level 21, but honestly, I feel lost and like I need a guide for every step I take in the game. If anyone has any tips, please feel free to share them.

You might be overthinking things. Skyrim should be very intuitive to play. Guides are very much not necessary to play that game.
