Actually, I don't think you can say any level amount at all just yet. Now that I am thinking about it, does anyone really know how many skill increases you need to attain a new level in Oblivion? I would be slightly surprised if it is still ten b/c they said they made it a LOT harder to raise you skills now. The reason provided for this was that they wanted them to have more significance b/c of the new skill perks for adv./master/expert levels. The way is was put was like this.... "By the time you reach the end of the main quest you ... have one or two skills at (max, aka 100)" -recent interview with a video of screenshots from the game. Not sure who the speaker was, but it was definitly a dev. So...yea..... SO exact level and skill speculations are slightly less meaningful than they were before, maybe.
I think I heard in an interview it's still 10 major skills increased to level.
They do keep assuring us it's the same basic system as Morrowind so I'm pretty certain.
Also, I believe Skill Perks are at level 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100. So if it's in your Majors, you're bound to start with one perk, which would make sense since you're generally more skilled in techniques than someone who has never even used it.
