Can I have a husky without joining the vampire hunters in Dawnstar? Are the husky immortal?

How often dragons and vampire attacks in towns? I haven’t do the quest in Whiterun where you need to talk to the yarl about the dragon. So I’m safe from the dragon attacks and my character is not yet prepared.

Can you survive skyrim without maximizing smithing, alchemy and enchantment?

Spoiler: 1. Huskies
You must complete the quest A New Order to recruit them. That means you have to side with the Dawnguard and get as far as listening to Isran mouthing off. What you do after that point is up to you.
They aren’t quite immortal - what they are is Protected, which means they can only be killed by a direct hit from the Dragonborn. They won’t die from NPCs, fall damage, or stuff like that.
😭 nnnoooo
Depending on which platform you want to play Skyrim on this can be changed with mods 😅

No clue, sorry.

It looks like dragons tend to spawn more often after fast traveling. For vampires, it looks like frequency of attacks escalates as time goes on: https://steamcommunity.com/app/489830/discussions/0/1648791520840376016/

It’s definitely possible to survive without these, but survival is easier with them. I recommend playing the game for a few dozen hours, then go to Whiterun and use all of your stores-up materials to binge on smithing. Alchemy and Enchanting didn’t matter as much to me as Smithing did.
Enjoy having fun with a great game!

- Yes you need to join the Dawnguard to get a husky. They are protected, which means they can only be killed by the player. Watch that you don’t accidentally hit them in combat!
- Random dragons appear around every 3 in-game days. Finishing the main quest makes it more like every 6 days.
- You can absolutely survive without touching the crafting systems. In fact, i find that using smithing and enchanting too much can make the game very easy. That said, you can change the difficulty at any time up or down to your liking.
I reccomend that you check out the wiki at uesp.net. It is by far the best fan wiki i have used and it can answer the vast majority of questions you might have about the game.
Some spoiler tags might be appropriate in this post. Your questions give away some things that are more fun to discover as surprises.
I mean…Skyrim has been out fooorrrr…12 years? I think spoiler warnings are a bit moot at this point.
I like to avoid spoiling classic games for patient gamers just as I like to avoid spoiling classic books for avid readers. There are always more of us who are just now finding time for them, and there is no expiration date.
Hot tip regarding #2: If you can, grab the Run for Your Lives mod. NPCs tend to think they’re hard mfs and will engage with dragons, vampires, cultists, assassins, and just about anything else that aggros within their field of vision. This mod gives them some sense of self-preservation (and keeps them out of your way).
I’ve played Skyrim a lot and didn’t level any of those skills. I played so much that I just crawled the map and tried to complete every quest. There is a good chance that I did, but I could have missed one or two. I never knew about the huskies though.
