The good news is that nothing you do in Creation Kit can break the main game - at least, not permanently. It's all there to be played with, and in case you haven't noticed, Skyrim is a pretty big game. It's the same tool that Bethesda itself used to create Skyrim (at least, officially - there's always a chance it just pressed a big red 'Make Game' button and this is all a big ruse) and opening it up is to see the whole thing laid out in front of you. Make no mistake, the Creation Kit is amazing - but it's also incredibly intimidating. Did I have what it took to be its master? I tinkered a bit with the previous version in Fallout: New Vegas, but that game's world of radioactive dirt and cold metal simply has nothing on the epic sweeps of Tamriel's chilliest corner. Skyrim is a world I've spent many, many hours exploring, questing my way through, and burning fools with fireballs for my own amusement and sometimes justice. Specifically, sitting down with a pen to watch a couple of hours worth of YouTube videos created by Bethesda, with the goal of transforming its Creation Kit from 'Oh my god.' to 'Oh, I see!'

My latest trip back to Skyrim didn't start with a dragon attack.
