InSkyrim, each Dragonborn creates their own legend. However, as for story quests, players will have to face the same difficulties and may encounter a few overpowered enemies along the way. You will meet one such foe on High Hrothgar during the early game.
Although this is a fairly simple quest that will teach youhow to use Shouts, it can be challenging for many beginners. SinceSkyrimquests don’t directly tell you that you must be at a certain level to complete them, you will have to check if you can handle them during combat only. ‘The Way of the Voice’ is the first story quest inSkyrimto have such a limitation.
