I do wish - and this applies to all games, not just Skyrim - I do with developers would understand how frustrating it is for anything I can't jump over to be an impassible obstacle. A shoulder-high wall or step up a mountain is too high for me to jump up, yes, but it shouldn't be an insurmountable obstacle - can I not climb over such things? Not in almost any video game world I've ever come across. Anything too high to simply jump over might as well be a sheer, smooth 100 foot high wall.
Also, if you think navigating the mountains is a pain alone, wait until you get a follower. There will be all kinds of places you can reach that apparently they find unattainable. It's frustrating enough when you're going up a slope, but wait until you're going downhill. You'll step off a two foot high drop, and turn around to see your follower frantically searching for an alternate path that lets them avoid such a risky drop.
