I'm only level 21 and it is a pain for me.  I haven't been playing as much though and that might be part of it.  Hopefully I'll have some time over the holiday to play.

Is there a level cap by the way?

Edit:
This says cap is 50 but the "mathematical" cap is somewhere in the 70s?  Eh?

I just couldn't get into this game, or Oblivion. The third person view is absolutely horrible and the combat is really shoddy. It's almost like Bethesda has never heard of hit boxes, or collision detection.

I do all my combat in 1st person, in fact I rarely use the 3rd person view for anything but riding my horse or checking out my gear.

Right now I'm a level 26 woodelf and the head of the theives guild.  Still haven't fought a dragon.  As soon as I was able, I wandered around.  I'm assuming I haven't run into one since I haven't worked on the main quest.  There is just so much to do in the game, it's a bit overwhelming, but I'm loving it!

Dragon Shouts(th'um) are comprised of 3 "words of power" learning a word unlocks each rank of a particular shout, each shout has 3 ranks. Shouts can be gathered in any order. Some will be earned from quests others will be found around the land of skyrim. I will not be listing how to get each shout, just a general description of each shout. Next batch of info, will be Vampirism and Lycanthropy   


1. Animal Allegiance (Raan - Mir - Tah)

A shout for help from the beasts of the wild, who will come and fight in your defense.


2. Aura Whisper (Lass - Yah - Nir)

Your voice is not a shout but a whisper, revealing the life forces of any and all.


3. Become Ethereal (Feim - Zii - Gron)
The Th'um reach's out to the void, changing your form to one that cannot harm or be harmed


4. Call Dragon (Od - Ah - Viing)
Ohdaviing!Hear my vice and come forth, i Summon you in my time of need!


5. Call of Valor (Hun - Kaal - Zoor)
The valiant of Sovengarde hear your voice, and journey beyond space and time to lend there aid


6. Clear Skies (Lok - Vah - Koor)
SKyrim itself yeild before the th'um as you clear away fog and poison gas traps


7. Disarm (Zun - Haal - Viik)
Shout defies steel,as you rip the weapon from an opponents grip.


8.Dismaying Shout (Faas - Ru - Maar)
And the weak shall fear the Th'um and flee in terror!


9. Dragonrend (Joor - Zah - Frul)
Your voice lashs out at a dragons very soul, forcing it to land.

10. Elemental Fury (Su - Grah - Dun)
The Th'um imbues your arms with the speed of wind, allowing faster weapon strikes.


11. Fire Breath (Yol - Toor - Shul)
Inhale air,Exhale flame, and behold Th'um as Inferno!


12. Frost Breath (Fo - Krah - Diin)
Your breath is winter, Your th'um is blizzard.


13. Ice Form (Liz - Slen - Nus)
Your Th'Um freezes an opponent solid.


14. Kyne's Peace (Kaan - Drem - Ov)
The voice soothes wild beasts, who lose there desire to fight.


15. Marked for death (Krii - lun - Aus)
Speak, and let your voice herald doom, as an opponents armor and life force are weakened.


16. Slow Time (Tiid - Klo - Ul)
Shout at time, and command it to obey as the world around you stands still.


17. Storm Call (Strun - Bah - Qo)
A shout to the skies, a cry to the clouds, That awakens the destructive force of skyrims storms!


18. Throw Voice (Zul - Mey - Gut)
The th'um is heard, but the source in unknown, fooling those into seeking it out.


19. Unrelenting Force (Fus - Ro - Dah) <- as seen in gameplay trailer  
Your voice is raw power,pushing aside anything or anyone who stands in your path.


20. Whirlwind Sprint (Wuld - Nah - Kest)
The th'um rushes forward, Carrying you in its wake, with the speed of the tempest.

Why would you choose to use the third person view? It has (and probably will) remain a pointless
feature in Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Personally I'm enraptured in the world and found
the combat to be surprisingly deep compared to the last few Elder Scrolls, but to each
his/her own.

Trying out a new character now: I call it my Khajit "Spell-Shield". Focusing
in Destruction (Shock), Conjuration (Necromancy), Heavy Armor, and Blocking.

Basically I run around with a shield in the left hand and a spell in the other.
I shield-bash the opponent when they get too close and continue the onslaught of electricity
while they are stunned. Then I cast raise dead on them and take out the rest of their friends
in the same manner. It's functioning surprisingly well.

That sounds like an awesome set up :-) im currently playing a Duel wielding Orc for my 2nd Go through ^^

This game will take up too much of my time. My first runs in Elder Scrolls are always as a Nord and I play as if it were really me, making decisions that most reflect how I would act if it were really me.
After that I usually go for a full theif or vampire of some exotic race and live a life of crime

Thats exactly how i play any game of morality such as dragon age or mass effect ^^

I did find something funny about Skyrim that I thought you guys would probably get a kick out of...

"So i was trying to marry this chick in Morthal. We flirted a bit, but she was playing hard to get and went home. I did the one thing any dude who is pursuing a girl would do; break into her home.

I couldnt find her at first, but when i went into the cellar.....I saw her sleeping in a coffin. At first i was like "wtf....." then i was like "Thats hawt" So anyways, she is a vampire and tried to kill me. It broke my heart to kill her. Thats my story.

I love skyrim."

If you read the comments in the post, it's so funny lol
