Figured it out. It seems that if you re-map some of the keys, 90% of the dialogs update themselves, but the favourites one doesn't. So, because I changed "E" to be my Use key, I simply had to try that one instead, and it worked. And once I'd added stuff to the favourites menu, then it started to display when I tried it.
So yet again, loads of testing and not one tester tries re-mapping the default keys!

As a jack-of-all-trades at the moment to be honest. I was never a fan of archery in Oblivion, but it's much better I'm finding in Skyrim (plus it helps that arrows are weightless). Hence, spells for mid-distance stuff, bow for even further away stuff (like dragons), then either two-handed sword, or one-handed sword and spells for close-up stuff. Probably not ideal for levelling up mind you, but so far it's working quite well!

The levelling system is hard to read, I've not really got my head around it yet. But if I'm reading it right you can potentially max out the perks in 5 skills (though you prolly won't want /all/ perks in a given skill, so it's more really). So yours doesn't sound unreasonable.

I'm gonna play all-out two-handed warhammer-wielding heavy-armour-wearing barbarian in this one.

I've not played this type of character before, so it'll be an interesting change. Early signs are promising though: I could kill the dudes in the start area in one hit.

I'm putting most of my perk points into Archery and one-handed weapons, with others going into sneaking and lockpicking. The arrows aren't doing as much as I hope, though. I keep running up against NPCs that are so tough that even a sneak shot with an arrow only takes a tenth of their health. And then I get swarmed by all of them and I have to get the axe out, which is surprisingly effective.
I did a couple of the Thieves Guild quests:
Not too sure. I seem to be doing things to help a bunch of bastards, while at the same time running missions for another bastard who set a bunch of hired thugs on me. I'm not sure why I'm still helping her. Actually, wonder what would happen if I killed her. How many quests would that break?
Also, I was wandering down a road near one of the big cities early in the morning, and crossed the river that's beside the road to get some Nirnroot. I looked back to the road, and saw a ghostly headless horse-rider galloping along. I was going to have a look, but got distracted by someone attacking me, and when I looked again, the ghost had gone. Not sure what that was all about.

Also, do headshots take more health than a normal shot? Because if they don't, I'll stop trying to be so accurate, despite how funny it is to see people fighting me with three arrows sticking in their faces.

I'm not bothering with lockpicking because all it really does is saves on lockpicks. Which I have plenty of anyway. Seems like a waste.
I won't read that cos I've not done much in the thieves yet
:O
That headless horseman thing sounds wicked
:D
Here is a picture of me practising my sneaking:

I don't think headshots count but I'm not sure.
