The creators of Skyrim include many textual, visual and audio clues. Throughout the quest, "Bleak Falls Barrow" there was a lot of information that I noticed could be discovered through talking with the people around Whiterun and Riverwood. For instance, in Riverwood I found out that the golden claw I had found on the quest actually belonged to a shopkeeper and that it was stolen from the shop a few days before I went on the quest.
In terms of visual clues, there are many throughout the word of Skyrim. Since its an open world game, the player can simply walk around the world and discover vast amounts of new things. I personally believe that this is a great way to give the player access to new information. The player gets to discover new things every time they venture off into the unknown land.
Textual clues are also very prevalent within the world of Skyrim if you know where to find it. The areas that the player goes on quests has books littered everywhere. I have picked up a couple of the books and realized that the books actually present a lot of information on the world of Skyrim. This includes information on different races, the history of towns, and previous wars. I would say this method can be effective however, most people will not take the time to read the books they find so it is not completely effective or as effect if another character explained the background of Skyrim like some do.
