Which is exactly why I went out of my way to avoid the main quest line and do everything else first, to get he most out of it. But I succumbed in the end and did Alduin at 50, which was a good point to take a bit of a breather.. and then start messing around with a few quest lines I missed.

I think its related to the Boy quest, then try going to sleep in your bed once in a while after doing that job for the boy
Which is the quest for the boy? The whispering door?
Innocence Lost
I don't think I will be playing through a second time. I have still not fully completed all the side quests and Its coming up to 250 hours play time now 
. I have also become attached to my character 
.
I have however switched the way I play the game quite a few times so its almost the same as playing through again. As a result I just have 2 skills to get to 100 now. Destruction and restoration, as I nave not used magic much at all. So I'm now trying to use magic in battles as much as possible. Seems to go up very slowly though.

You did activate the Mage stone didn't you?
Dual wield lightning bolt is so satisfying... especially when they go flying.
Yeah . At first I used the warrior stone for a lot of the game. Then found the Lover stone, which levels all skills 15% faster. Then switched to the Mage stone after I levelled up my last weapon skill.
Shame I have beast blood as I believe this hinders levelling by stopping me getting restful sleep. But the cool factor far outweighs the slower levelling.

I didn't get on with the Werewolf for the brief time I've had it on warrior. Doesn't seem to have any real benefits at all. All the Werewolfs 'Beast Form' is good for is ripping apart weak enemies that you probably didn't need much help with in the first place (and doesn't it prevent those enemies dropping loot?). Anything that is actually challenging will rip you a new one and since you're completely unarmoured so you're even more squishy than you were before.
Destruction and Restoration have always being painfully slow. At least this time you get more 'exp' for casting stronger skills, unlike other games where you'd get the same amount no matter what you cast.
The Well Rested/Lovers Comfort boosts are a little awkward I find. Especially if you start fast travelling a long way from where you slept. 8 hours pass before you even get there so the bonus is useless.

Character doesn't really matter too much, and what sort of style do you want to play?
Sneaky, Theif, Ranged attack?
Sword and shield warrior?
Crazy topless barsteward who runs around smashing everything up?
I'm currently player as a sneaky, archer, theif type character, but on my next run through I might try a crazy Warhammer wielding viking with no armour, listening to this while killing everything in sight
Yeah

I did the same, I used the warrior stone up until level 10 so I can hold my own. I'm currently using the Mage Stone but tbh as I'm trying out Enchanting and Smithing I may just use the Lover for a bit and see how I get on.
Really weird for me, I'm so used to playing a stealthy assassin/archer/thief type but it's actually quite satisfying to finish people off with a "mace to da face!".

yeah I'm on about 130 hours now and have level 100 archery, smithing, enchantment and alchemy. I have 906 dmg daedric armour, and a 250 dmg daedric bow (no enchantments yet). I'm level 55 now I think. Gonna get my sneak and pick pocket levelled up while dual weilding 1h weapons to get that proficient
I try not to use potions, and use healing spell to (albeit slowly) level up restoration. I've only in the last 10 hours of gameplay realised I can give lydia healing potions and she'll use them when her health is low.I still find fire/frost necromancers etc quite tough as they're good at dodging ranged arrow attacks.
Theres only 1 song to listen to while playing Skyrim...
Now I just need to find a dairy farmer...
I've been using Fast Healing to try and level up my Restoration but thats only feasible outside of combat. Mid-combat its a little suicidal to swap from my bow to heal, unless I hit the target with a paralysis potion but then I may as well finish them off ><

Pickpocket levels really fast. Get at least one skill point in the pickpocket skill tree. Then when you enchant jewellery etc to give you higher pickpocket skill it will allow you to pickpocket better stuff. If you have no skill points in the tree, even if you have 45% pickpocket enchantments the higher price jewellery will still be 0% chance to steal.
Read this, wish I'd found it when starting out! Maybe I wouldn't have done what the first NPC said to do, which was to split up. So we go our seperate ways and I miss the guardian stones which get your skills quicker. Only to find that guide 10 levels and many hours into the character.
