I could use some advice

I imagine they added the soft level cap so modders can take advantage of it.

Smithing is worth it in your case because:

1. one of your skills is archery

2. another is blade/one-handed

3. light armor

 

Those three right there are enough to make smithing worth it since you can make/upgrade your own bows, blades, and armor. Also since enchanting is one of your skills, with the "Arcane Blacksmithing" perk, you can upgrade gear that has already been enchanted/magical, something you can't do regularly. I suggest either removing lockpick or alchemy to replace with smithing. Alchemy is useless if you already have enchanting (which does a better job of enhancing weapons than poisons) and if you will soon have smithing. Lockpicking is fun, but not as important as the other skills you have listed.

 

I think you're right. While I'll be using lockpicking a lot (chests in dungeons mostly), if it's anything like fallout, it'll be pretty easy and I won't really need any perks for it.

I thought you could only have 75 perks?

 

Info from Skyrim Nexus::

 

There is no scripted limit to how high you can level, so in theory you could become level 1000 and be almighty! But there is a mathematical limit, which is at around 75, when there are no more skills to progress. You level up by advancing your skills, and the higher the skill, the more it contributes to a level-up. It works pretty much like in previous Elder Scrolls games, except that you no longer need to rest to level-up.

 

There are more than 280 perks in Skyrim, of which you will only be able to pick 75 in one game. This means that if you want to test all the perks in the game, you will have to play the game four times. Now, that's replayability! But let's not get ahead of ourselves here; we also have to remember that this number includes perk ranks as well, and some perks have as many as five ranks.

 

Perks are linked with skills, and to be able to master certain perks you will also have to master the skill the perk is associated with. So, to pick the latest perk in the speechcraft tree, you will have to be a master of speechcrafting. There are 18 different perk trees, all associated with their own skill.

Oh, wow. I stand corrected. This helps me make my decision tenfold.
