If you return to Helgen you will only find the imperials and stormcloaks have murdered eachother making it a ghost town with only a few civilians still walking around doing nothing. Three side effects of this method is you won’t be able to complete the tutorial quest Unbound, and to perhaps some the good news is Helgen will survive the dragon attack as we bypass that sequence entirely.

To initiate the main questline open the console one last time and type: SetStage MQ102 30.

Finish the character creation as you usually would and press the R key to free your hands.

Open the console again and type the following code: ShowRaceMenu and create a character.

Open your inventory and take off the iron helmet to reveal your face.

This will teleport you to Riverwood as a default Nord.

Enter the following code: coc Riverwood.

Open the console in the main menu using the tilde key, (‘), or the section key (§) for europeans.

Launch the Skyrim and make sure you are on the main menu.

This is the quickest way for testing new mods, or simply starting a new game without having to play through the intro sequence and the tutorial quest.
