The method of leveling isn't the same way as it is in Fallout 3. As far as I know, there's no XP. You have various skill trees, such as Archery, Blocking, Heavy Armor, Lockpicking, etc. Improving these skills will level you up. Each time you level up, you can increase either your Magica, Health, or Stamina, and you earn one perk to use in any of the skill trees. Now, you don't have to use that perk right away, you can save it for later.
