Whenever I play and it probably has been a decade for me too, I tend to run atronach to make magic easier to deal with, and lots of acrobatics to fly around once you get going.

There’s a rabbit hole with enchanting/alchemy, but some would think it adds fun and others would think it takes the fun out of the game.

Enjoy the exploration and lack of quest markers. Without a recent reference point, there’ll definitely be a bit of look around and see which I think will be fun.

Report back about your adventures, I’m lacking the time to commit to a game like this right now. I’m excited for you.
