* Your attacks will do less damage if your weapons are not at full health. Be sure to repair on the fly as much as possible. A general rule of thumb is to check your gear after every second or third fight (unless you’re killing rats, or sneak-killing enemies in one hit).

* If spells cost an insane amount of magicka, especially if you're not a magic based character, gaining skill in that particular school of magic reduces the cost. Try to get all of your magic skills to at least level 25 at your leisure, that's when all the helpful spells are usable in most schools (summoning creatures in conjuration, all sorts of helpful alteration, etc). Try to get Illusion up to level 50 (although I wouldn't make it a major skill because it boosts personality). Illusion 50 allows you to use the extremely helpful Debilitate (3 sec paralyze), Silence, and assorted Invisibility spells.

* If you plan on playing a magic user, speed through the recommendation quests in the outlying mage guilds. The sooner you gain access to the spell-making altar in the arcane university, the better.

* In order to join the Dark Brotherhood and gain access to the associated quest, you have to kill an innocent (i.e. someone not already attacking you). One of the easiest consequence-free kills that qualifies is early in the main quest-- When you enter the first oblivion gate in the game, a soldier will accompany you. You can kill him once you're in the gate to join the Brotherhood, without risk of getting jailed for it. He's easy to take down if you attack him while he's fighting scamps (or whatever they are, depending on your level) and tends to die pretty quickly anyway.  You can also find a houseful of skooma addicts you can kill in Bravil.
