Best way to enjoy Skyrim to fullest?

Skyrim is the worst game for climbing mountains on horseback

penis mods.

One word of advice: Mods! Lots and lots of mods. There's one out there for EVERYTHING. So go browse Nexus and Workshop and just try whatever seems interesting to you. I have a quite long list of mods I can't do without anymore if you want but I'm too lazy to search em up now. Send a PM my way if you want it.
And to answer your question I usually play with a combination of stealth and bow with one or two companions(alwasy Inigo as he is by far my favourite and sometimes I take with me a second custom one like Sophia, Arissa, Atvir or Hoth). I find it the most enjoyable but that's just me, I don't think there's a "best" style, just preffered ones :P

firefire. unlimited fireballs. With the right Equipment no mana loss. And when necessary heal.

Man, It's been a while since I've played Skyrim. I cannot remember what style I used. I think I mainly used a bow & arrow, with one of the Elf races. Anyway, I'd say the best way to enjoy TES: Skyrim is to mod the shit out of the game until your PC cannot handle it & cracks under the pressure. Also, the potato mod is a must!

I am no expert but you could try to play it like this man is doing.

The best way to enjoy Skyrim is with a tall cool glass of milk.

Mods, the best way to enjoy Skyrim D: Also, get the Potato Mod and Cheese Mod! D:

Hardest difficulty, + mods that make it more difficult (there's a couple that scale difficulty better at higher levels, and one that adds realism I.E. cold, needing to eat and sleep etc.) Better textures shouldn't lower performance. Improved draw distance, water, and HD textures if you can handle it, although that's iffy on a laptop.

Frostfall, RnD, Wet and Cold and Hunterborn are all you need

STOP using a lappy for it :P
thats all i can think of right now

My favorite style is sneaky bastard thief archer that can 1 - 2 shot pretty much every monster with critical bonus. Because i like the tension of playing without being notice and before being hitting :D the problem is the companion that are generally too dumb to understand what stealth is and if we are crouching on the ground, its not to jump like crazy when someone enter in their vision path...
I finished skyrim and pretty much all side quest except few bugged ones... (no mods quest)

I actually restarted skyrim few month ago after adding a lots of mods for graphics and realism, recreated a character and decided to be a wizard bitch that burn everything then laugh, and playing more in RP style (always walking when travelling, used mod to simulate freezing damage when snowing etc...) and this i am not wasting time collecting each and every item in all chest / bag etc in each and every donjon of the game xD
actually that is quite enjoying to play like that, its clearly a waste of time, but still, pretty much enjoying.

I play with a mod that allows me to adjust chance to do a finishing move, so I made it a little higher and started killing everyone with a bow and if they get close enough, by rushing and critting with a longsword, looks epic.

I also play on a laptop, so far i have no issues with mods/overheating. Thing about laptops is you don't know what they can handle unless you try. Just avoid mods that change grapics to much and you shuld be fine.
As of the style, i prefer a Sword and a Shield, basic stuff i know, but it's so satisfying bashing someone to death with a shield :D

I usually play Skyrim, like a sneaky bastard. I use a thievery mod, what makes it more interesting and add more options, like water arrows, and slitting throats, etc.

Play. Mod. Play. Mod some more. Play. Edit some mods to fit your tastes best. Play a bit. Start making your own mods. Stop playing. :)

I get headaches when playing Skyrim for long hours. Better to play Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
Mods though can really make it non-boring.

Still trying to get Skyrim through trades :D

Don't use Enchanting+alchemy circle.

Stealth Archery is the way to go

Play it drunk. Really really drunk.

Fuck potato. I chose good ol' Jack.

Pants down, slicked hand, gentle movements, lots of shield bashing

I played Skyrim a long time ago before I joined Steam, and recently bought the anthology. I spent 13 hours setting up my mods, then proceeded to barely play the game. I still need to go through it for the achievements :)

My first playthrough was vanilla. I insisted on not using any mods because I wanted to experience the game as is. Some of the bugs were...interesting. Some not so great. I must say the game with a lot of mods is a lot more fun. Just setting it up and getting them to work was pretty amusing for me (probably not so amusing to people that kept seeing my popup on Steam).

Start a new game. Especially if you haven't played it in a while, the experience won't be the same. I've played through the game at least 2 -3 times. I've tried to switch playstyles but I can't find myself to do it. I always fall back to the same playstyle each time. My playstyle:

Breton (because magic is broken and the natural magic resistance really helps).
Combination archer + swordsman (more like 90% swordsman, 10% archer, to be honest). Magician late game. This has always been my playstyle for some reason.

I REALLY suck at in-your-face combat. Always hid behind my follower to tank, I have no idea how everyone else does it, because I die in like two hits on the hardest difficulty. Started off most battles by firing arrows in sneak mode until the sneak damage no longer worked, let my ally run up then switch to melee. Early stage dragon fights always gave me worlds of trouble.

Dual 1-handed for me all the way. Why? It's flexible. I can throw in a shield. I can switch to a spell and heal while swiping at people. That, and it's much, much faster. I'm one of those people that hates slow attack speed.

The above will steadily up my 1-handed, archery, and sneak skills. And on the side, restoration and heavy armor. Magic can go screw itself (my opinion, of course). Playing as a mage really sucks because I always ran out of magicka. When I leveled up, I would never level magicka, only health and stamina. I'd usually deal with having sucky magicka until I reach a point where I can get magicka reduction cost.

There used to be a glitch where you can wear a Falmer's Helmet and a Circlet at the same time. I definitely abused that way too much to get one set of heavy armor which gave me 100% reduction in mana cost for each school. It's pretty satisfying running around casting high level magic skills without ever having to hide and wait for magicka to come back. This has been patched though, so I'll probably have to figure something out myself when I start playing again (I think you can still get 100% reduction, I will just need to sacrifice an ability on another piece of equipment.)

The highest archer skill is so broken. Fire arrows until paralysis. Run up and hack at your motionless opponent. Rinse and repeat. Or when you have 100% alteration reduction, you can spam the paralyze spell.

Sorry, turned into an essay. Also, sorry if I spoiled anything. Definitely got carried away there.
