If you have it on PC there are a lot of mods that change levelling in various ways, or you can just use the console to give yourself the levels you want, since the game levels the enemies with you anyway. I play on PC and its xbox controller support is just as good as the xbox's.
I got into the series with Oblivion, and I'd say Skyrim is 11ty times more accessible and well-paced. What I like about the games is that there are so many different ways to play and explore their huge countries and their generally decent main quest lines. That and the depth of lore that the series has amassed by now, sometimes that's more interesting than the gameplay.
Anyway if you're getting bored, follow the Civil War questline. IMO it's the most boring of the major ones (weak plot, repetitive missions), but it has no shortage of moving things to squish. Failing that, try something completely different. If you have a bow, pick up a warhammer. If you've been turning giants inside out with fireballs, pick up a dagger and go to town on some Falmer. You'll probably want to start a new game though, so that the enemies level with the skills you are actually using. Doing that is how I've racked up about twenty unique characters over 2.5 years.
