I played skyrim on a friends computer back when it first came out, but spoiled it because he told me about the console code for a couple things and I got hooked on that. I basically figured out how to make the best suit of nightingale armor, and went out in search of dragons. I never finished any storyline, but rather had a few hours of cheat happy fun.

So I just bought the legendary edition the other week, and have finished the main storyline and am currently in the twilight sepulchre section of the TG line. I haven't used any cheats this time around and only very light spoiling when looking for a solutions to headdesking problems.

What I do know about Skyrim tho (and getting to the point of this post) is that some things are time sensitive or otherwise of a limited opportunity nature. The skeleton key is one of these things, right? Once I give it back, you can't ever get it again without console or an exploit?

My question to you, the community, is:

What are some things I should make sure to do? What are some features of Skyrim sort of like the skeleton key or whatever that you can attain without cheats or exploits that I might be missing, having walked by it several times? I don't want to pour over the relevant websites because they don't filter "what's neat" from "what's cheat" very well, and I would rather have your personal recommendations than TEH LEETEST ITEM U KILL ALL DWAGIN. I haven't explored any of the expansion stuff yet at all..

Please don't give unnecessary plot spoilers, but this thread is warned, so if you need to in order to tell me about an item/feature, do so with taste please.

There are quite a few unique items in several storylines that is very powerful and can win you the game even if you do not go the enchanting/blacksmith/alchemy easy Iwin route.

Items like Azura Star, Spellbreaker and all the dragon masks are very powerful.

I finished Skyrim once without doing the above Iwin route and using purely artifacts available in game.

Note that the Skeleton key and some other artifacts will not be available and/or you will lose it later if you made some choices that affects the game

Yes. That is the point of the OP.

Can you please be a bit more specific? :P

Are the "dragon masks" the high stat headgear that drops from these liches that like to unexpectedly pop up? I haven't seen any lore on them yet.

They look stupid as hell but i always wear one of the two I have unless im trying to get better prices.

Yep, I combed through the entire game (no expansions) and didn't find anything to replace them playing a dedicated caster/archer.

so as far as grinding .. level goes up indefinitely, as long as there is a skill to raise, and the 1.9 patch makes skills resettable, so that you can regrind a skill to get more levels?
