Newcomers might gravitate toward a melee combat style, with a focus on bashing monsters and enemies with clubs, axes, and swords. You can even fast travel while over-encumbered, as long as you’re mounted.
In addition to faster movement speed, spending 1,000 gold on an equine buddy allows you to quickly climb mountains. Skyrim’s vast landscape can be daunting to explore, especially when powerful enemies lie between you and your destination, but acquiring a horse can alleviate many of the world’s annoyances.
