I'm now lvl 47 and lvl 50 is the soft cap, so I've read. But the har cap should be lvl 81. Do you get skillpoints every lvl from 50-81 too?
You do, but diminishing returns kick in hard around 50. I suggest making builds for 50~60 tops if you need the extra perks. The monotony of staring at a mudcrab doing repetitive stuff like leveling armor skills + restoration gets to you after a while. Not to mention repeatedly casting muffle or soul trap on a dead body. Besides rerolling a new character lets your eyes feast upon the eye candy models that Bethesda crafted for Skyrim.
