Benefits

A player's spouse will prepare one home cooked meal a day, which will restore health and stamina.
If requested, your spouse will accompany you on your travels, and can be directed to either defend you or attack your enemies directly. The option does not seem to be available to all spouses (Ysolda in Whiterun f.e.)
If your spouse is acting as a companion, he or she can carry some of your equipment for you.
Your spouse will occasionally surprise you with a gift.
Your spouse can open his, or her, own business thus giving you a steady income (100 gold per day), plus a merchant close by.

quote:

It works like this: Certain things in the game world scale with your character, and certain things are "semi-static,semi-scaling".

The latter one consists mostly of dungeons. All of the various dungeons in the World have a static, pre-determined difficulty which is described in terms of a range of the players level.

For example, there are a couple of dungeons early on which have the difficulty level "1-10", and that's where they'll always be, they won't scale beyond that, and similarly, dungeons of higher difficulty level will not be manageable by you until you level up some more.

An exception to that is the case of "cleared" dungeons and possibly areas. When you have previously cleared a dungeon, it will say so on the map when you hover the cursor over the location's legend. These cleared dungeons will eventually get repopulated after a long time (it's longer than just a couple of days, but I don't know the exact number), and when they do, they repopulate with mobs in a level-range that corresponds to the players level.

The actual level of the monsters inside those dungeons is determined by your first entry into the dungeon. When you first enter the dungeon, the level of all monsters inside it is "locked" to your level. For example, if you enter a dungeon of difficulty "10-20" with level 14, all enemies will be set to level 14 and will be locked there, so that if you find it too hard when you first enter it, you can come back later and try again with level 18, at which point they will still be level 14.

The difficulties in that case are clamped, which means that if you enter a 10-20 dungeon with level 5, all enemies will be set to level 10, and if you enter it with level 25, all enemies will be set to 20.

Besides that, a couple of monsters or monster types on the overworld will have this same behaviour. For example, the mammoths and giants in the 40 min gameplay demo are probably one of those.

Also, the areas in Skyrim work roughly that way, too. In general, you will find more difficult monsters the higher you get in the world (near the mountains). But as opposed to dungeons, monsters won't be locked into a level once you enter the area. Instead, the game randomly sometimes spawns monsters that are a couple of levels below or above you, or equal to your level.

One of the things which has "linear scaling", almost exactly like in Oblivion, should be dragons. Todd Howard has said a couple of times that he wants every player (no matter how good or bad) to be able to experience at least all of the main storyline. Although even with those, it will probably be an advantage to have better equipment or perks which give you some kind of resistance to something (for example, there are frost and fire-dragons, and a couple of other types).

Also, this might count as kind of a second-hand source, but at least it's an interesting read:

http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37643

It's a little explanation of how the scaling worked in Fallout 3. If you google for "Skyrim scaling" you will find a lot of references to devs saying that the level scaling is somewhat similar to that of Fallout 3.

also here's a discussion on the same topic which might be interesting to read (even though the guys totally worship the Oblivion scaling system and hence are total noobs, hehe) : http://www.gamespot.com/f(...)level-scaling-system

Dat voedsel heeft trouwens ook geen enkele zin

Als ik zulke shit zie (zoals potato's etc.) dan flikker ik het na een poosje allemaal uit mjin inventory.

Het beste wat je kan maken healed....wat? 20 hp ofzo?

Heb ik niet zoveel aan als ik 300 hp heb.

Ik level een puur warriortype, puur thief en puur magicuser. Maar die laatste is echt een stuk zwakker dan de rest Ik hoop dat dat later in het spel nog wordt bijgetrokken.

Hmm als level 3 mage naar winterhold gegaan, misschien dat dit toch te vroeg is. Er zit een of ander enorm sterk skelet in zo'n dungeon. Wat is als mage de beste manier om je te beschermen tegen melee behalve als een kip zonder kop rondrennen?
