@piyush: you know any alternate way to bleak falls barrow? when i start from whiterun town i always encounter a giant in the way,and of course you know what happens with a lvl 1 character facing a giant

If you actually are lvl 1, then you should postpone your visit to Barrow, coz it'll be much harder for you to complete the quest.
Meanwhile explore a bit more around riverwood, caves and all. And I think you are not aware of leveling up system in Skyrim. We dont get exp points for completing quests. We level up when we level up our skills, i.e, for an example, For you to become a lvl 2 character, you have to level up 5-6 of you skills by one point. For example you leveled up your restoration, one handed, destruction, speech, etc... by one points each or any skill with consecutive 5 points, like this way.

So enhance your skill by practicing/applying them so as to level up.

And is you still wanna try Barrow for one time, then go to the bridge near the riverwood(small bridge actually), and try to reach the fort/tower in your sight (on your top left while standing on the bridge). After reaching tower, you can easily reach the barrow. Dont follow the navigation marker until and unless you have routed yourself a way to the destination.

horns?

 

[gameranand]

Yeah Horns. I hate them, I prefer a helmet with no horns, they kinda freak me out.

 

[rohit32407]

Why do you have to fight with giant at all? just keep your distance. But as piyush said if you are playing anything at or above Adept difficulty then you should postpone your visit to Barrow.

@Piyush Thanks for the heads up. I have not tried Argonian till now so as well. I will give argonian a try this time

 

[CommanderShawnzer]

i find the horns on the helm cool.but why are the horns pointed downwards? vikings have helm's with upward horns

Well I am more of a RPG guy so I can be forced into it and the worst part is that Piyush knows this.

that is why

You now have the rig man...install it and i'll recommend you the best mods (to make the game even better without losing any base touch of the game)

I'm assuming after pickpocketing, if unsuccessful, you reload the game instead of fighting with the guards.
Anyways, For sneak+archery combo, focus on Sneak, Light armor, Archery as your primary skills. Apart from these, you may also increase your One handed, Block, Pickpocket and Alchemy skill . Alchemy to make poisons so as your archery becomes more scary.

Apart from that, explore a lot and Hard save a lot.
