On top of that, I had maxed out heavy armor that buffed all my key stats (one-handed, magicka, magicka regen, health).
When I fought Alduin, I only had to hit him like 6-8 times.
Has anyone else taken advantage of the follower/trainer exploit? Where you pick up a follower who also is a trainer (example: Aela the Huntress) train the max skills for that level, and then exchange items with the follower and take your money back?
On my second play-through, I've used this with Aela (maxing out my archery at 75 by level 24) and Althis (maxing out my one-handed, which I've been neglecting) and Farkas (maxing out my two-handed, which is at 60 at level 24).
It's a quick way to level yourself.

That's how I generally start a character. I befriend Faendal in Riverwood at the very beginning (generally, the first quest I do) when I don't have much money and get training in archery.
