I've never used shouts, except the dash one for luls with giants.
Spells seem powerful enough.
Also apparently there's some Mage Stone you can go to to increase magic level generation, where's that at.

NOW WITH MR BIGGLES AND HIS AMAZING FLYING CONTRAPTION
At the cluster of Guardian Stones you go past right after you flee Helgen and go on your way to Riverwood with your new Imperial/Stormcloak BFF. There's the Thief, Mage, and Warrior stones, which makes you gain 20% more experience when using Thief, Mage, and Warrior skills respectively.

My Berserker Orc has trouble with frost mages as well. Holy hell those guys can just strip health off me in no time. Other then that, I can take on 4 or 5 mages at a time and not sweat it.
Something Ive noticed, Ive cleared a couple of the actual Dragon sites (the ones that have the dragon head symbol on the compass) and even though on my map it says its cleared, I can show up at a couple sites and everytime I do, theres (Now) 2 dragons at each site so far. WTF?!
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, I also changed my Berserkers look. Now Im wearing a legendary set of fur armor (the one that has a bare chest) and the stormcloak generals gauntlets and boots. Looks pretty badass. And Im such a hardass that I rarely have to put on my full daedric armor......well minus the helm, I think the Daedric helm looks slowed. I wear the Dragonbone helm

I'm a Mage-Archer so I use bows and spells, which is amazing considering the Mage Robes make you look a little like Ezio from Assassins Creed making my assassination twice as epic.

Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee.
Wondering what class I should do next, I've done a 2handed ork berserker, a high elf mage and a dark elf thief. What do you guess reckon I should do next?

Durr, why didnt I think of the Masque? Ill probably have to go and hunt that one down. But I must say, the Dragonbone helm looks pretty nice ontop of all that daedric.
I just love my Berserker Orc though, I seriously feel like a green Conan when I bullcharge into camps and start lobbing heads off and running Imperials through
Thanks for the opinions guys, I like the sound of the khajiit boxer and the nord beerdrinker. Might have to try one of them lol.

Yeah for my boxer I put alternate levels in HP and stamina and do lots of crafting to level up, my perks mostly go into light AND heavy armour treating heavy armour as the weapon skill and using heavy gauntlets with the rest of my armour being light.
Waiting for my shill money from Spiral Arm Studios
But you eventually get to the perks that increase your armor if its matching.

Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
But have you punched a Dragon yet? Im almost curious enough to try it out, so far my Orc is something like 5 and 0 for fist fights, and like I said before, I can 1 hit bandits. Granted, you cant compare bandits to dragons....... maybe Ill get stupid and try my luck on a Giant first.
Speaking of, I had something hilarious happen yesterday and it was the first its happened. I was fighting a Dragon, and although I was winning, I suddenly went into a cinematic and watched helplessly as it devoured me whole

A few days ago I decided I wasn't tough enough, so I provoked a Giant and stood there training Block, Light Armour and Restoration for a few minutes, shield bashing him whenever he swung so I could regenerate magicka. I eventually got bored, hamstrung him and drove Oblivion (my Aborb Health and Fire Damage Glass Longsword) up through his skull, then stole his toe and walked off.

Don't be overwhelmed by quests. You will gets lots of them and my suggestion is don't do the main storyline for the majority of the time you play. I suggest this because I personally lose interest in all the other cool stuff after the main game is completed, a feeling I find common among other people.
Also take the time to explore to your hearts content, since the scenery really is beautiful and fast traveling takes out alot of the wonder you can get from going on foot.
Magic depending on what you go is weaker than melee so I've found so the best way to go is hybrid type builds unless you really want to dedicate yourself to a certain role for your character. I'd also recommend getting up smithing quickly so you can upgrade enchanted items
Honestly the rest is up to you, nothing you can really do is wrong. Just immerse yourself as you would in a taletop roleplaying game and you'll have fun.
- There are some standing stones that are easy to miss on the way to the first town. You can use one of these to boost experience gain in a branch of skills (Thief, Fighter, Mage)
- See your current effects and illnesses under magic -> Active Effects
- You can sprint. (alt on PC, don't know what it is on consoles)

Don't invest too much time and energy in your first character unless you know what you're doing. Since you can't reset your perks, it's very likely that you'll mess up a few times, leading to a less-than-satisfactory character in the end.
Once you get the hang of the game, and get the type of character you want in your head, be it a stealthy assassin, a destruction mage who's a few sparks short of a lightning bolt, or a berserk warrior with a fondness for smashing people's faces in and squishing bunny rabbits, then i'd reccommend making a new character, since it's very unlikely that you'll be able to re-balance an existing one.
Think of your first character as a test run as opposed to your main guy, especially if you're new to the game. I played Oblivion before and I thought i'd have it all down to a T, but I haven't touched my first character for ages because I messed up a few perk points, and didn't like where it took me.

I've rerolled a Khaajit.
There is no way to skill up unarmed from what I can see.
Is it worth bothering with so? Do your attacks with it scale as you level or is it only intended for early game fights?
There are no special attacks you can perform at all with it?

This is one problem that I have with Skyrim... I wanted an "Unarmored" skill tree, and a "hand to hand" skill tree, so that I can make a kung-fu monk character.
