Hi all, this is my 1st playthrough so I decided to go safe and do a sword n board typical warrior build. I played oblivion before and I see this game appears to follow the same premise, it levels as you level. The problem is I'm now level 18 and I've tried to avoid crafting for a while so that my combat skills are high enough to keep up with the encounters. But I seem to be getting close to a point where I need to start enhancing my gear with smithing and enchants.
I'm level 18 and my one handed is around 60. My blocking and heavy armor are both around 50. I want to craft alchemy, smithing, and enchanting. Am I safe to take a time out to get those all leveled up now or do you think it will boost my character level too high for what my combat skills are ready for? I'm having a hard time finding the right happy spot between character level, and skills levels.
