Thanks for that, RuneRed. Just a relevant tip to add: Hearthfire is extremely useful for this build: it has basically all the components needed to quickly train Alchemy and Enchanting, and you can build your own Talos Shrine in the basement. Not to mention tons of storage, nice scenery, a handy carriage, etc. It takes away a lot of the chore of grinding, and lets you just get right into the meat of the gameplay. I recommend the Hjaalmarch (Morthal) house, since you can get a very handy Fish Hatchery (perfect for harvesting Abecean Longfin and Cyrodiilic Spadetail for those Fortify Restoration potions).
