My Argonian, Trips-Over-Tail, has no need for the majority of the perks, even in the skills I actually use. I'm basically kicking ass on the strength of my vocational skills alone: smithing, enchanting and alchemy. All my longswords and daggers do over 120 damage with only two damage perks, my bow weighs in at 139 damage with the same. I don't even bother wearing my helmet anymore, since the rest of my dragonscales give me a 536 armour rating, just shy of the effective hard-cap of 567 (80 or 85% damage reduction). With helmet and shield that goes up to 1005- that's with one perk in + Light Armour and the 25% All Light Bonus perk.
Though Elder Dragons remained deadly. Then I enchanted my armour and jewelry to resist fire and magic, and to regenerate health. I may have to increase the difficulty again. No one can hurt me anyway, but now I'm sending them flying with shield charges and killing them before they can get back up. If I hadn't equipped my companions with similarly spectacular gear they would have all died in sword-swinging accidents.
Has anyone gotten their companions to use the bows they give them? They only ever seem to use a hunting bow that doesn't appear in their inventory. The only way I got their damage up to scratch was giving them daedric arrows and archery enchantments.
Also: no one can afford to buy my potions any more. That's how I made my money, now it seems like a waste to part with them when no shop can match a quarter of the selling value.

I'm curious if there's anything neat I can wander off from the plot and do soon.
Going with an Ork with sword and shield/1H build and incinerate upgraded here and there.

Just pick a direction and go, right now. Though I'd recommend at least running that errand for Balgruuf first - the Jarl of Whiterun.
