I don't get this, what is is that stops at level 50?
I'm at level 52 and I am still levelling up skills...
At level 50 the game no longer makes the enemies you fight (common or otherwise) keep up with you.
That doesnt mean things are no longer a challenge. Ancient dragons are still jerks..and draugr deathlords hurt. Just means that the "scaling" (how high your level is compared to the level of the creatures and enemies around you that raise in appropriation with each level you gain).
this is why people do not fill out a character solely good at lockpicking, alchemy, speech, and restoration.
While all those skills are ok with the exception of lockpicking... in my opinion anyway...
By the time you are level 15-20, everything will kick your ass because you levelled yourself from non combat type skills. And the game levelled with you per say.
