Spells: Do you make use of them? Healing? And do you only equip them when the need arises? Or do you roll with one equipped?

Shouts: Any advice?

Magicka/Health/Stam: So far I've upgraded 3lvls of Health. Should I focus on others?

I'm still a lvl4 woodelf and very soft indeed. I can't put a dent in the whiterun town guards.

What should I focus on as professions/skills? I'm lockpicking everything I find (successfully so far), but I'm wondering what I should put points into?
My advice is head to Riften and do join the thieves guild or find the Dark Brotherhood quest in Winterhelm (i think thats what its called) As both will give you decent light armor.

I use Bow primary or a Sword/War Axe combo. I do have a dagger for close range assassinations but for it to be worth it invest some points in the sneak tree (there are some good backstab bonuses. like 15X dagger damage etc)

Spells I would say Healing and Stone or Oakskin i use most. And only when the need arises.

Shouts Marked for Death is key but remember using your shout will alert everyone in earshot of your presence.

I spread my Health/Magicka/Stam upgrades out evenly but Health and Stam would take pref on lower levels.

Profession I say Smiting as it lets you upgrade you armor (later on even enchanted one) and build some nice weapons which may be cheaper than buying.

I found that you can get away with not putting points into lockpicking early on but that later it becomes necessary. Early dump points into one-handed, Archery, Smiting, Sneaking and maybe one other of your choice.

Like i said doing either the dark brotherhood or thieves guild quest will help you on the right path.
