TES5 Skyrim AE: quests

Here's an optimized path for completing the quests in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (TESVSAE) with bundled Creation Club content (CCC) , considering level recommendations and maximizing benefits.

Early Game (Level 1-10)

1. Start with early-game item quests and miscellaneous quests as mentioned before.

2. Begin guild quests for Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and College of Winterhold.

3. Incorporate CCC quests:

   • "The Cause" (first part) for early access to Mythic Dawn armor
   • "Fishing" for a relaxing side activity and unique rewards
   • "Rare Curios" to collect new alchemical ingredients

4. Start but don't finish "A Daedra's Best Friend" for Barbas as a follower.

Mid Game (Level 11-20)

1. Begin Dragonborn DLC main quest.

2. Continue with Daedric quests as before.

3. Complete hold-specific quests.

4. Start Companions questline.

5. Begin "Lost to the Ages" (Dawnguard DLC).

6. Incorporate CCC quests:

   • "Saints and Seducers" for new armor, weapons, and a callback to Shivering Isles
   • "Ghosts of the Tribunal" for Morrowind-themed content
   • "The Contest" for the Fearsome Fists

Late Game (Level 21+)

1. Complete remaining Daedric quests.

2. Finish "Lost to the Ages".

3. Complete "No Stone Unturned" for the Thieves Guild.

4. Do "Unfathomable Depths" for the Ancient Knowledge effect.

5. Continue Dragonborn DLC.

6. Start Dawnguard DLC main questline.

7. Incorporate CCC quests:

   • "Forgotten Seasons" for the elaborate Dwemer dungeon
   • "The Cause" (remaining parts) for Mythic Dawn content
   • "Survival Mode" for added challenge and immersion

8. Save for last:

   • Main quest "Dragon Rising"
   • Civil War questline
   • Bards College miscellaneous quests
   • "The Blessing of Nature" (turn-in)
   • Complete Dawnguard main questline

This revised order incorporates the major Creation Club content (CCC) that comes bundled with Skyrim Anniversary Edition. The CCC adds significant value to the game, offering new quests, items, and gameplay mechanics[1][2].

Key considerations for CCC:

1. "Fishing" and "Rare Curios" can be started early for additional activities and resources[2].
2. "Saints and Seducers" and "Ghosts of the Tribunal" offer substantial questlines with unique rewards[1].
3. "The Cause" provides Mythic Dawn-related content, which can be partially accessed early but is best completed later[2].
4. "Survival Mode" adds a new layer of challenge and immersion, best implemented when the player is comfortable with base game mechanics[3].

It's important to note that while CCC can enhance the game experience, some players feel it may affect game balance, especially in the early stages[6][7]. Therefore, this revised order attempts to integrate CCC gradually, allowing for a more balanced progression.

Remember that this order is flexible and can be adjusted based on personal preferences and playstyle. The Creation Club content offers a wealth of new experiences, so feel free to explore and engage with it at your own pace[5][8].
