Will play it for about an hour or so later and give my feedback on this thread.
Dude, the pointless side quests and hours of exploring are the entire point. The actual main quest is just sorta there. It's not the point.

So I need to change my perspective on this game and embrace the freedom and side quests a lot?

Yes. I remember in Oblivion I used to go around the country side Sneaking with a bow trying to hunt rats and wolves without being seen for hours.

You don't have to, but I would recommend it! They've put a lot of work into filling the world with stuff to do and the main storyline represents a tiny part of the game. It would be sad not to experience more of it.

Sounds like your life in Virginia.

Ok will bear that in mind.

Actually I've never been hunting. I've also never been to a farm. I don't even have a southern accent. I live in the Southeast of VA which is pretty metropolitan (at least compared to the some parts of VA). My family are actually Irish Catholic immigrants that lived in New York up until my grand parents moved away.

You told me before that your an urban person, do you live near any well known battlefields from the civil war? I`m a bit of a history nut by the way.

As for Skyrim, only just started and have escaped having my head getting chopped off thanks to the dragon and have escaped with Helvar through the tunnels, and now we have just split up and saved it there.

So I've abandoned my first game and made a new character, starting from the beginning. I just felt like I made a lot of dumb choices for perks and leveling for my first character (Breton) as I wanted to go strictly warrior and one-handed.

New character is a Nord. Troy Des Aladem. I was surprised at how much better the Nord is at stabbing right from the get-go!
This time around, I'm not giving a single point to magical stuff, with the exception of Enchanting. And I'm going through the story first, then exploring later... because on my previous character, I was doing the opposite, and I kept getting distracted by wondering what the main story was all about.
I just feel better about getting it out of the way then exploring the world and doing side quests when I don't feel like there's this huge agenda that I'm supposed to be on.

I`ve just started and very nearly chose the Breton character, but at the last moment chose the Nord (he was the default choice)

Yea, originally I chose the Breton because of the magic resistance, but decided that I'd rather just be so beast with my armor and weaponry that the resistance factor could be negated due to extraordinarily quick deaths of those who dare to shoot sparkly stuff at me.
If you're going straight up warrior, Nord is the way to go.
