Q&A for How to Create the Right Character for You in Skyrim

Learn pickpocketing skills from beggars or from the Thieves Guild to get ahead. Save before picking pockets; if you fail, reload saved game.

This is a question for which the answer can only be based on personal opinion. Heavy armor is stronger, but it weighs a lot, and slows you down slightly. The perks you can get for this armor will negate most of it's cons, but will take a while to obtain. Heavy armor is useful if you plan on being able to take hits, but don't plan on being an efficient sneaker. Light armor is easier to sneak in, weighs very little, and doesn't slow you down when worn. However, it is less effective at protecting you, and lacks any perks that can make up for this like heavy armor. Light armor is useful if you plan on moving fast, getting a lot of sneak attacks, and avoiding attacks and direct confrontation.

Yes, they can. It may not be the best thing to do, though, as light mage armor often has important bonuses to magicka. Still, it's completely possible and even useful sometimes when you need more defense over offense or spells.

No, but you can ask Aela the Huntress; she will call you fickle and give you the option to do a ritual again.

There is currently no sixth Elder Scrolls, but there is a spin-off game titled Elder Scrolls Online.

Yes, but it's not recommended unless you are using a bow. If you have high health in an encounter, you fight with two swords, but if you're low on health, either run or fight with one sword so you have one hand free to block.

Use the Skyrim Oghma Infinum Glitch, tutorial for that is on YouTube and wikiHow and I think Skyrim Fandom Wiki.

You can get the sword from the sliver hand, while doing the first few quests.

Go to almost any dwarf ruin, explore, and when you find a centurion, change your difficulty to novice.

No, it is impossible without mods or DLC, nor could you improve your house other than the default purchasing of upgrades from the Jarl's steward.

No. You can marry anyone in Skyrim.

Without using console commands or legendary edition, this is impossible. If you have legendary edition, train a skill to 100 and enter your skills section, select the skill at 100, and press Y to make it legendary, resetting it to 0 and returning all your perks in that tree. Re-train again to earn more experience, and once at skill level 100, you can repeat the process.

During the quest "Elder Knowledge", you will be led to a dwarven ruin called Alftand. At the end of the dungeon, you will find Umana and Sulla Trebatius fighting. Loot Umana's corpse to find the shield.

No, you can't play as a snow elf in Skyrim.

As with all skills in Skyrim, you level it up by using it or visiting a trainer. Trainers are Faendal (Adept) in Riverwood (level 15 - 50), Aela of The Companions (Expert) at Jorrvaskr (or the training area behind it) in Whiterun (level 15 - 75), Niruin of the Thieves Guild (Master) in Riften (level 15 - 90) and Angi (Master) at Angi's Camp (level 15 - 100).

It all depends on your play style - you can obtain a dragon priest mask at any level - just be prepared for a fight. For a sneak/thief/assassin build I would recommend getting Krosis: light armour and lockpicking, archery and alchemy are 20% better. For a mage, you probably want to get Nahkriin - this gives you 50+ magicka and destruction and restoration spells cost 20% less. For a warrior build (swords, hammers etc.) you would have to wait a while as the best mask for this build would require you to obtain all the masks first - this one is Konahriik, which when health is low has a chance to heal you but also to damage nearby enemies.
