I have basically just started the game and I'm already level 32. I just killed my first dragon, the one at the tower outside of Whiterun (I think). I'm level 32 because I went crazy and pickpocketed the entire town of Riften and then some, getting it up to 100. My smithing, enchanting, alchemy, sneak, and other minor skills are all in their 60s or 70s. I find the crafting and stealing side of the game more entertaining than the combat side. I play a sneakthief using archery and daggers to kill stealthily, and then finish up with some fire if need be. The only problem is that it seems that everything has leveled up around me, but my combat skills are all in the 20s or very low 30s. I had to turn the difficulty down to easy and I still get two shotted by your basic skeleton. God forbid a couple of wolves come across me while I'm exploring. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm now paying to get my skills up every chance I get, especially since I can simply steal my gold back. Hope it evens out soon...
