I am now level 14. Mostly in Destruction and Conjuration; I tend to blow things to bits with fireballs then prod them with bound weapons (with a mind to capture souls as soon as I figure that all out).
I sided with the Empire! And that decision was rewarded as I tend not to like what I hear about the Rebel leader over time. Though this may or may not be propaganda created to and for the imperialist overlords I now massacre 'true Nords' on a daily basis.
My Thane is still with me. As she has been from pretty much the start. I'm yet to really use her in any complex way, she just follows me around and acts as a pet who can carry things in the long run. It seems a shame that this mechanic hasn't been either expanded very well or hasn't been explained. Maybe I am missing something. when I get the urge I may have a look online and see what others have said. Also I am happy to take views in the comments below.
Current plans.
1) Rid Skyrim of the rebel skum.
2) Go to Winterhold and train with the mages.
3) .... Nothing yet.....
