All of these call for you to sustain and fix damage to your player. Think about it...

The greater the damage, and more repair, the better.

GET ATTACKED!!!

Don't resist - you can run if it gets bad.

but dual equip "HEAL" and use it. Begin with minor creatures (wolves?) and move up.

Your best friend is a sabre cat...

IF YOUR HEAL and MAGICKA become overwhelmed, use a shield and BLOCK!!!

*The block skill builds levels very fast...

Best to start is wolves next to the river below Helgen.

***SABER CATS AND WOLVES will NOT follow into the water***

This means you can always get away and catch a breather...
*Let your magicka recharge, and HEAL your char so that restore makes levels, comprende?
and then go back...

Use the percs at level up to become more powerful over time

Eventually, you can heal faster than you can be hurt - this tactic is cumulative!!!

Study ALL OF the skill trees closely, choose what you need the most to WORK IT...

Someone else (can't remember - sorry ) discovered that allowing Stormcloaks (Imperials might work, too) to whale on you works for Armor skill ups. Plus, they won't give you diseases...from fighting.

Some critters seem to be bad about that, ROCKJOINT, and all that.

But a good place to start is with the weaker creatures - even if you get a disease.

Sooner or later you have to get cure disease potions anyway....

Since you mentioned it - pickpocketing a stormcloak in the Helgen escape route make them attack you, even though you can't pickpocket Ralof

Maybe an earlier way to use it?

I would love to "POINT-BY-POINT" come up with a way to make the bear cave and all the stuff in the first part (getting out of Helgen) advance char's faster...

An "IDEAL WAY TO BOOT THE GAME INTO HI-GEAR" the fastest

~Wolfie

*If you sneak past the bear, and let Ralof leave the cave, you can come back and play with the bear. It does JACK for hit points against you - but your armor goes up!

*If you leave the cave yourself, the bear is GONE... When you get close to the exit, Ralof will run ahead and escape
Now you can leave your char with the bear to make levels, go water the lawn, or whatever. It may quit when the controller turns off. Watch for that and restart it... If the whole console turns off you will be back at your last savepoint....

(Eeeeww...)

In the meantime - have a coke and some taco's while watching the blue and red bars

*Interestingly; if you don't touch the controller for a while the view begins to pan. If you are against a corner - at a point you get a real wierd "INSIDE VIEW" of the bear (!)

I AM a "LEVEL-O-MANIAC"

If there is a way to sit down and level; BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE! - I will do it...

Only Sneak. You can supposedly go into Sneak mode in a shop (Whiterun Alchemist is the one I've heard mentioned.) creep into a corner, put a rubber band on the thumbstick, set the controller down, walk away, and your Sneak skill will level.

Oh -

Now that IS tastey.....


*Did I tell you my main char is a CAT?

*Khojit savors the essenessezzz.....

QUANDO: If you are a CAT MAN to begin, and become a werewolf - (with my name) what in all chaos are you anyway???

If your rechargeable batteries have enough time - there are a number of ways that rubber bands become very useful......

*It is a small matter of courage

There are some exploits for other skills, but I think Sneak is the only one from which you can walk away.
