You need to go to Dwarven cities and you need to collect any of the following items:
Spoiler!
Large Decorative Dwemer Strut
Large Dwemer Strut
Bent Dwemer Scrap Metal
Large Dwemer Plate Metal
Small Dwemer Plate Metal
Solid Dwemer Metal
The biggest city I found so far is in the Winterhold area, called Alftand.
Bring TONS of space with you, since those items are really heavy. You need to smelt them and most of the items give you at least 2 ingots and all the way to 5.
Edit: All these items are really easy to find, so you can make multiple trips.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but you can steal any loose objects that are guarded by dragging them (hold X on ps3) into a different room and then stealing them privately off the floor.
I must suck. I cant even take on 3. Heck, 2 almost destroys me and im level 9. I made the mistake of being level 28 in destruction, archery, restoration, heavy armor, two handed weapons, one handed weapons, stealth, and archery. Oops. Now I'm having a ton of trouble in a dungeon

Pick two you don't need and put it down to 17 then take those points and distribute where you want them.
I am sure there is a cheat guide that can help you with that. This way it's adjusting and not really cheating as you are just modifying points you already have.

It's ok, as long as you haven't spent perks in all those different skills. Pick what you want to focus on, skill those up a bit, then level up. In Skyrim you don't have to level up immediately or spend all your perks when you get them. You just leveled up too fast with no focus so the enemies are making better stat gains than you.
Wrapped up the main questline today. Overall I enjoyed the game quite a bit, but I felt a little disappointed by the main questline. It felt kind of short to me, but I did spend about 30 hours on the game before finishing it so I'm not going to complain too much.
Highlights:
Spoiler!
- Mediating the negotiations between the Empire and the Stormcloaks was neat. If I had actually chosen a side, I would have cared more about them, but it was still kind of cool.
- Being able to get through the game by playing how I wanted to play. I went through as a stealthy archer and I didn't come across any "impossible" challenges.
- The side quests. It feels like I only scratched the surface on side quests, but many of the ones I did were fun. I can't wait to go back through the game and see more of the side qeusts.
The lowlights:
Spoiler!
- The final battle with Auldin. I had more trouble completing the warrior's challenge before getting into the keep.
- I didn't really join a "faction." This wasn't the game's fault at all, but I feel like I missed out. I'll make sure to pick a faction for my next playthrough.
- Money. I had too much money and I wasn't really trying. Maybe I should have spent it on cool weapons. Next time!
All and all, I'm pleased with the game. I figure I'll increase the difficulty of the next playthrough and spend a little more time on the side quests.
Ah I broke this game by level 34 (Dragonplate set made), even on Master difficulty it's too easy now. Decided that a one-handed/shield warrior would be pretty good, and I was very right. Have 1042 armour rating right now and a 164 dmg Ebony Mace (stacking one-handed attack enchantments on my ring/neck/boots/gloves, plus 100% increase from one-handed mastery).
Giants can't touch me with their power attacks, in fact that's how I power leveled my blocking the fastest. Dragons, even elder dragons, get one-rounded once they land, I just position myself to force them to, don't bother shooting. Whole crowds of humans can't touch me. My only threat are mages, but they die quickly enough when I charge through the crowd and destroy their unarmoured ass. I rolled an Orc too, and if I ever actually do feel in trouble, berserker rage will end them all with double damage. I'm rich too, I found the dragon priest mask that increases prices by 20% early on (20-ish), found another 20% price neck later on, and with enchanting you can add the worth to any weapon by 400 gold.
Focused on, in order of importance:
-Heavy Armour (100% armour mastery, 25% bonus for all heavy armour, 25% bonus for matching set, and conditioning are best)
-Blocking (40% blocking mastery, power+disarming bash, elemental block, sprinting bash all sweet)
-Smithing (Very easy and cheap to power level, just make hide bracers (only need leather) or iron daggers (iron/leather strip). Crafting everything gives about the same XP from what I saw, just need more of it each level. Made me OP when I made a full Orcish set by like 20.)
-One Handed (One handed mastery 100%, and mace mastery to ignore 75% armour are incredible)
-Enchanting (Longer to level but I make mad money with it, enchanting pays for itself if you learn the right ones, you can buy soul gems off the vendor and make money. Nearly hit 100 on it and when I do, GG double 100% enchantments.)
Once I find two more Daedra Heart's it'll be a full set of that and ridiculous. To make armour/weapons really well first enchant a smithing improvement set (chest/gloves/ring/neck) with grand soul gems. Stack enchanter's improvement potions when you do it too. Then once the set is crafted, double improve it while wearing smithy gear and stacking blacksmithing improvement potions and you will nearly double the armour rating/weapon damage.
Yep, I'm afraid of that. Fallout 3 was the same way. After a short while, I was simply hacking everything in sight and killing everything, even Enclave Power Armored troops, Super Mutant Overlords, Deathclaws, etc. stood no chance.
Skyrim will be fixed with mods though, and that's why I don't intend to play it for another year at least if I ever play it at all. Back when I used to play games regularily, Oblivion was saved by mods and I ended up making it so difficult that I have only gotten through maybe 20% of the content after 5 years. God, that was 5 years ago? Shame on Bethseda for not making any graphical improvements.
If only I had more than an antiquated laptop to game on. About six years from now or so, I'm going to bump this thread when I'm able to play it, and it will be grand.

I'm debating getting this for PS3 because I want a game I can chill out on the couch and play. Any PS3 owners of this game that can tell me if this is a good idea or not?
It's a load of fun for a casual gamer like myself. 9 hours in only though
Smithing level 90 to learn the Daedric armour perk. I renamed it when I enchanted it though. The hard part was finding the Daedra Heart's for it (each piece requires one daedra heart), so it took me a while in-game to save them. If you do Azura's Shrine's quest for the Azura Star you can gain 3 hearts that way by killing Daedra.
i just did the Azura's Shrine quest, and holy #### those mages are tough. they spew out those fireball spells with zero cooldown and absolutely roasted my ass the first couple of attempts. finally i waited for a day so that my beserker power could recharge and bought all the health pots i could, then i was finally able to do it. made a Daedric warhammer after getting their hearts, damn that's a nice weapon. but where do you find more daedric hearts, and ebony ingots? i haven't made any piece of the armor yet just because the items are so hard to find
