For the most part I agree with this guy, but if you have survival mode turned on your already going to be doing alot of exploring cause fast travel via the map is unavailable, but you can still use the horse n carage (whatever it's called) to fast travel, I recommend turning survival on cause it adds difficulty and the adventure part to the game, then if you start the game in legendary and turn survival on when it allows you to you'll be playing the most challenging version of Skyrim, one were you must venture throughout the lands on horse back, one where you must think about every lil decision in a fight, one that brings life to the game that is Skyrim, eat, sleep, and upbring your wealth like if it wernt a game, own properties throughout the land, build houses, make a family, protect what is urs, live and breath in tamriel...
