80) Save your Level Ups for when in major combat. When you level up, all of your Magicka, Health, and Stamina is replenished fully so you'll save a number of potions. I usually do this in tough dungeon or dragon battles when my health is extremely low, and it works wonders.

GREAT tip! So obvious... but have I been doing it? Nope. Duhhhh

23. Pickpocket someone who shoots target dummies with arrows, and take the arrows they were using (usually iron or steel). Then, give them one of the arrow type you want more of. They will now shoot that type of arrow instead of the one they were shooting before. Simply collect the arrows as they hit the target dummy to get as many arrows as desired.

This is the only thing I've read in the first 5 pages that I didn't know.

The easiest guy to do this with I've found is the archer inside the Thieve's Guild hideout. He seems to shoot the fastest. Much quicker than using archers in Solitude who just stand there half the time looking at each other.

81. In some Dwemer ruins there are pistons that shoot upwards, if you stand on them you can sometimes get to secret places

I noticed that I could collect an unlimited amount of steel arrows from him (of course I'm a Khajiiti thief, like those who raided the Bosmeri folks in Sun's Height of the year 1E2920) yeah I'm a nerd. Anyway, I just didn't know that you could change their arrows.

I should add a simple trick.

84. Draugr are very simple to escape from. (regular Draugr) If you feel in danger, run back through the dungeon until you find a door, or a crevice, and hide there. They usually don't go back more than 2-3 rooms, if you sprint. Though running down a long hallway, and through some rooms is ideal.

86: Those lacking the throw voice shout, can fire an arrow at points they want enemies to investigate.

88. Dismiss your followers at their 'home' location. They can get stuck on the trip back & become lost to you.

89. Use r3 Unrelenting force at the feet of a stuck follower to dislodge them.

87. Outside of Whiterun are 4 Kajhits (dont know how to spell it) that can be killed for lower levels to get good armor and 1 of them is essential so you can increase you block, one handed, two handed, destrution, healing, light and heavy armors and there is no bounty for it!

Is a Kajhit a thug, cuz i was out at night burning a horse and 4 thugs with really good armor popped up and tried to backstab me but I burned em down.

No, the Khajits are the cat-like race in Skyrim. Thugs are sent after you for stealing things.
