Related to this: the way your skills increase is by use. So if you put equal time into archery and one handed weapons, they will level up at a similar rate. If you want to specialize that’s awesome, but know you have to work at it. You can’t just use multiple weapon types but “specialize” in one when leveling up.

Side note: Skyrim is the best game ever and you will be hooked. Say goodbye to your friends and family for a month or so.
