what's the max level in skyrim
Taken from: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Leveling. At higher levels, levelling up happens much more slowly. Level increases in Skyrim follow a formula. Prior to Patch 1.9 the maximum level was 81, since there was no way to gain any more experience once every skill reached its maximum value of 100. With Patch 1.9, individual skills can be made legendary, denoting them with an Imperial symbol.
