Use block just before the enemy's attack to absorb the damage and stagger the enemies

I tried the graphics mods you have suggested Piyush. SMIM is a good one and it works in a perfect way. Changes are very subtle and you really have to be a fan of this game to observe these changes because casual players won't pay that much attention to details. But I do and I loved the changes it made.
Since I don't like FXAA so I did not try FXAA Post Processing. Tried Enhanced Shaders and they were great really. But then I came across this another ENB preset from SuperB and it came along with Realistic Lighting addon. Man now the game just looks crazy good. Now it's impossible to travel through skyrim at night without a torch and I love that thrill factor of the night environment now
. I mean now if I ever have to play Vanilla skyrim, it will be like torture. I tried RCRN also but it did not work that well for me.
Some of the other mods i tried and loved are-
1) ScenicCarriages
2)W.A.T.E.R.
3)Skyrim Flora Overhaul
I intend to try to improve the looks of the cities of skyrim. I have heard there are various mods for that. If you happen to know any good mod for that please do suggest.

For frost dragons, get a flame atronach spell and use it in dragon encounter
not that its a best solution, but will make fight easier
and for follower mod, there is one, Ultimate follower overhaul, patch 1.8 required.

@CommanderShawnzer You may feel like you need more than 1 followers right now but trust me after you have crossed certain level and have spent your perks wisely, you won't need even 1 follower. My suggestion to you would be to stay away from any gameplay changing mod when you are playing the game for the first time. Play it the way it was intended to be played. But if you still want to try it then see what piyush has suggested.
At what difficulty are you playing anyway?

completed the "Companions" questline and it seems that have the entire companions' group as recruitable followers
my current follower is Farkas
is this guy OK as a follower or should i get a mage from college of winterhold since i'm a nord warrior(Block,One-Handed,Heavy Armor,Archery)
for a more balanced pair?

If/since you are a pure warrior, then you better opt for a range damage dealer
Aela the huntress must be available to you by now
but dunno how good she is

Do their temple quest involving some nighmares

Try out Jzargo. One hell of a companion. Levels up with you pretty high. Can use heavy armor and heavy weapons + a good mage(not excellent but good).
If you want a pure mage then you can try out Araena also. Full on mage, sucks at melee. Or you can also go with what piyush has suggested.
To get Jzargo you have to join the mage's college in the winterhold. Jzargo will give you 10 scrolls to use on Undeads. Do that and go back to him and he will be ready to follow thereafter.

To get araena you have to do azura's star quest and take it back to her and not the other guy

@piyush/rohit/anybody who can help me : What are the common ingredients which can be found in the wild easily or bought at Arcadia's Cauldron to make potions of health and potions of stamina

I tried a total melee character this time. Two-handed + heavy armor + flame atronach(for range). It has become just too easy. Even at expert difficulty most of the weaker enemies require just 1 normal swing. Few of the more powerful enemies require 1 power hit+ 1 normal swing.
Level- 38
Smithing- 98
Enchanting 82
Heavy armor- 72
Two-handed- 75
Conjuration- 70
Alchemy- 50
I was using warhammer and after 'ignore armor' perks and 80% extra damage perks it has become just too easy. After enchanting my spare armor with improved smithing and drinking blacksmith's elixir before improving weapon, I was able to take my warhammer's damage to 210+ and armor rating to close to 500. I am using everything daedric. I have also enchanted my ring gauntlets and boots with extra 32% two-handed attack as well. honestly when you become this powerful so that no one can even come close to touching you, it becomes kinda boring
. As for mages I just use muffle and sneak upto them and before they turn around to see me they get 1 power hit and they are dead. I guess I will try Archery now. Archery with a tank like frost thrall maybe and sneak. It should be more challenging as i have no experience with sneaking in skyrim. But i loved Thief series so I am a big fan of stealth. Let's see how it works out in skyrim.
One Tip for everyone. If you can master Alchemy and enchanting you might not even need smithing at all. But if you master smithing along with those two then you can become godlike in skyrim.
For eg. All this should be done with atleast 90 level of all three- smithing, enchanting and alchemy.
brew a potion to increase effectiveness of enchanting. go to enchanting table and enchant 3-4 things like helmet, ring, necklace, circlet etc to improve your alchemy. Go back again to alchemy and now you can brew even a stronger enchanting potion. Keep doing that until you have reached the limit. Which is close to 30%. Go to worktable, wear smithing improving armor if you have any. Drink Blacksmith's elixir and improve your armors and weapons to some insane stats.
Sorry for long post but wanted to share something I have tried. Maximum armor rating limit in skyrim is 560 so no use improving more than that but improving your weapons can help even those who haven't leveled much in smithing.
P.S. One question to everyone who plays skyrim- are muffle enchanted armors, which can be disenchanted to learn the enchantment, hard to find in skyrim? Or is it just my bad luck? This enchantment can come really handy if i want to sneak and use archery with heavy armor but I have only come across it once that too when I was playing skyrim for the first time.
@CommanderShawnzer Honestly saying I never had to brew these potions as i got plenty of them during quests. Usually my apprentice level quickhealing spell does the trick and if you have the perk of dual casting of restoration then I don't think you will need anything else except for some emergency situations. For such situations you can find enough of these during quests. but if you do need it then try googling it. That's how i learn about various potions.
