Okay, since youre not very far, i'd recommend you restart and rebuild your character. here's why:

General Good Skills to have:
Sneak, Security, Acrobatics (because it increases quickly, hence, levels you up), Armor (light or heavy, not medium), some others i cant think of.

General skills worth beans (ie, not worth having):
Hand to Hand, unarmoured, speechcraft, blunt weapon (i'll explain why below), and mercantile.

why is blunt weapon a skill worth beans? well, blunt weapons dont do a whole lot of damage, which is fine if you arent planning on fighting with your weapons often, but early in the game you sometimes have to. i'd recommend taking a sword skill, because swords are more common, do more damage, and are generaly faster (and most allow you to also carry a sheild). I have short blade as my primary weapon skill, and both marksman/longblade as minor skills and it hasnt hurt my abilities at all, but you just have to make sure to spread the wealth in your other skills. but, even with those being my weapons, i have 100 pts in the blunt weapon skill (from trainers). Staff are the best for enchantment, so later in the game they will become much more useful, but it will make it hard to start with.

also, go for sneak and security. no having to cast spells or find keys to open things, just carry a good lockpick (you get ALOT if you take care of the *bad people* (ask me if you want the spoiler for that). and sneak lets you avoid lots of bad guys. i can push sneak and end a fight because the enemy cant see me (good for if im wounded, but doesnt work on golden saints).

need more tips?
