How to obtain a great Omni-Build (*mild spoilers*)

How to get max attributes:
You know there are 2 forms of skills, Major and Minor. When your major skills increase a total of 10 levels, you level once. Each skill Major or Minor has an attribute that effects it, for every 2 levels in a skill the attribute attached to it goes up +1 when you level. If you were to say, increase your blunt 5 and your hand-to-hand 5 and then leveled, you could increase your strength by 5. If you plan each level out accordingly (skills who's attributes attached equal 3) you can max out all stats with the exception of luck. (I did manage to increase mine to 70 with this method though).
How to obtain a very effective build:
Using the level up method I talked about above, choose a class that has higher magicka (I chose High Elf). Then, when your ready to pick your birth-sign, choose "The Mage" for 50 more magicka. You will need to also make use of every single level you have via trainers. You can get as high as level 50 without doing the jail trick. That equals 250 skill levels you can obtain from trainers. I would recommend athletics first, then mercantile, and finally acrobats or speech-craft. Also, choose a melee combat style beforehand. Once you've chosen Blade, Blunt, or Hand-to-hand, choose one to be apart of your major skills and the others minor. The 2 minors only need to be raised when your trying to get +5 strength in a level, and once you have 100 strength you won't need to raise the minors anymore. I tell you that because there are various quests in the game, that increase the level of certain skills, and raising minor melee combat skills to 100 is a serious pain. If you have the skill it increases at 100 before you finish the quest, it will take that skill over 100.
If you use all of those tricks and tips, you will end up with a character that literally requires you to increase the difficulty of the game beyond that of 50%, in order for things not to be boringly easy.
Note*
I do have some more tricks (non cheating tricks) that will help you level up various skills, let me know if you want them via a reply to this thread and I'll post them when I have a spare moment.
