The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Sneak Skill Practice Tip
1 of 4: This is an early opportunity for you to practice your Sneak skill. Crouch down and move around, checking the stealth indicator in the middle of the screen to make sure you're hidden.
2 of 4: However, you can't just aim yourself at a corner, hit the "Run Straight" key, and then go off and do other things while waiting for the Sneak skill increases to roll in. (Besides, you really hated Oblivion for letting you do that sort of thing, didn't you? Yeah, me neither.)
3 of 4: You'll have to keep moving your character around, and even then, you may not keep getting Sneak increases like you should. This game is very quirky and restrictive about that kind of skill practice.
4 of 4: NOTE: There's a *much* better way to practice up your Sneak skill a bit later on, so you'll probably want to wait until then.
