I've never invested a single point into smithing on any character. I still improve what I use, but with no perks it's not that much, and I can't improve magical items which is just fine. I'm experimenting with enchanting on a character for the first time and I'm starting to feel overpowered (currently just have the 4 perks that make enchants 80% stronger too, so there's a lot of room to get even more powerful), but I'm level 42 and was close to retiring this character anyway, so it's more of just an experiment before I build a new one.
I know a few people have mentioned fast traveling, I used to never fast travel, but doing those little miscellaneous quests just started to feel tedious. So I compromised - I only fast travel to major cities (or their stables). Most of the locations I need to go are outside of the major cities, but I'll just travel to the nearest one and hike from there. From a role playing standpoint, it's the same as taking a carriage...just free.
I still run from city to city for the most part, since just exploring the wilderness is one of the most fun things to do in the game, but if Mr and Mrs Lazy in Solitude want me to delve into a 4 level dungeon near Riften just to rescue their lucky cheese wheel, there's no way I'm running all the way back to Solitude to collect my whopping 500 reward.
