One key to the game is to specialize. If you spread your perk points too widely, you're not going to have fun. Stick with just a few perk trees, and you can get to the cool stuff alot quicker. Plus, the hardest character to play is jack-of-all-trades.
Another thing is to go for more immersion - to try to put yourself more into the game. Headphones are a must for this. Also, if you are on PC, tweak your .ini so that you don't have a compass or quest markers. It's far more challenging, and you get to see alot more of Skyrim that way. If not on a PC, at least set you HUD opacity down to about 30% and turn off your crosshairs (trust me, you will get better with aiming in short order - you can always drop to a crouch if you need a quick crosshair for a precision shot).
