If she's gone, just wait for an hour. If that doesn't work she's either dead or at your house in Whiterun.

Destruction/Archery is a pretty awesome combo, but I did Destruction/Archery/Sneak so I have a pretty good range of attack options. I sometimes encounter "Too close for arrows, switching to dual cast fireball". I might want to try something like Flame Cloak/Ward/Shield and just run at people for my next character.

I can't get close enough to assassinate them, they seem to know I'm there even with their back turned. if you have the muffle skill cast it, or wear no armour. I had a hard time killing one boss in particular and I decided to take off my armour. I was able to sneak up and get half his health with a backstab. I'm wearing heavy armor? That actually affects them hearing me or not? Fuck, I am totally fucking up my approach in the game lol.
Yup. I weark Light elven armour even though I have an elven armour set. It has 3 less armour points BUT much quieter 
This game is awesome isn't it? 
Also don't wear heavy armour if you are a sneak >.< But I guess if you do a lot of HtH combat its ok to have the heavy armour.

If you want to be sneaky you need light armor or robes.

So basically I'm doing two sets that counteract each other.
I'm trying to get a Restoration One-Hander with Sneak Archery.
This sucks ): No way to reset points either, eh?
Also, is Conjuration worth it? Seems so pointless yet I keep leveling it up.

I gotta say, by far the best of these probably has to be the one that gives +100 weight allowed and gives the equivalent of the heavy armor perk eliminating the weight / stamina drain. For me anyways...weight control is so hard in the game

+ Show Spoiler +Can somebody PLEASE tell me where the fuck the jarl of solitude (or his wife T_T you know the woman that rules fkn solitude) is AFTER you've finished the stormcloak rebellion? I've searched 1 fkn real time hour for her and she's not sitting on her throne ever (where she should be I assume) at any point in time. I just want that goddamn house in solitude and have to do a quest for her.

Conjuration does have its perk like powerful armor and instant meat shields. The only complaint I have about it is that fact that raise dead requires you to kill something first. However, you can raise pretty much everything in the after killing it.
Also, restoration is best suited for heavy casters and/or heavy armor paladin types. Sneaking doesn't work well with heavy armor and the sort. You are better off pick one defensive skill (alteration, heavy or light armor), one main attack type (destruction, 1handed or 2handed) and a main off skill (block, smithing, alchemy, enchanting...).
Leveling up skills is a must but the perks shouldn't be split all over because you will literrally gimp yourself in the end.
You can use whatever meets your fancy but dont try to stick to a single line of thoughts when approaching a new challenge. That's how you will get the most of the game.

So, you can't get perks after level 50? Or they just don't come as often? Seems a bit strange to cap perks there, despite not capping the levels there...

Restoration has an awesome double perk for 25%/50% faster magicka regen at l30/60, aside from that the novice healing spell is the only thing I use from the entire tree.
You still level and get perks after 50, but leveling becomes a lot slower.

I have the Sword AND the Axe of Whiterun in my weapons rack in my house.
Epic decorations.

Theres a soft cap at 50 and mathematical cap around mid 70s.
After you reach level 50 gaining additional levels is apparently very very difficult

I am not sure about a level cap. I do know that skills have a cap and with that comes a level cap in a sense.
I have yet to reach lvl 50 but its probably easy to assume that when the portion of people who reached that point grows Bethesda will release something. Bethesda did say they wanted to keep the DLC as plentyful and meaningful as the ones they did for Fallout NV where the DLC included a lot of content rather than a simple set of weapons or new furniture.
They didn't they would do these but would try to have more meat per DLC.

Doesn't really seem that way. Most perks aren't game breaking.
Can always rebind them later on if I get unhappy.

IDK what to post except for that this game is good as hell. Obviously. Does anyone else think that High Elves suck compared to Oblivion?
