Is it me or does anyone else want to change there character

I'm all for a way to change our hair/facial hair, dirt/warpaint/scars and such.
It makes sense and it would add a fun level to roleplaying to actually see your character get older.

My Nord does a bit of everything, so if I feel like switching things up, I just use a different weapon or play him differently on the fly.

Luckily, for my sanity, my many restarts have come after not getting more than ~25 hours into the previous playthrough. If I get to lv 60 and have spent around 200 hours with a character and feel like I need to restart, I usually end up just playing something else and come back to the game after a month or so.

I would like 3 new shops or it could even be one.

Barber:The Barber Shops allow you to change hair styles, and facial hair. (With a modded realism mode, someone could make it so you grow hair over time, and the only way to keep your hair down is the barber)Along with the shop, new Hairstyles for each race and gender are added, ones that can not be taken at the start of the game.

Tatoo Parlor: The Tatoo Parlor allows you to recieve and remove Tatoo's and War Markings for a price. New Tatoos/War Markings are added, that can only be put on your character threw in game purchase at the shops.

Surgeon: Through a mix of magic and skill you can get plastic surgery, and change the way your character looks completly, besides changing race or gender. The more you change the more costly the surgery. You can even get Scars removed, or new ones applied, so you can keep that tuff guy look. New Scars added with the shop, that are only purchasable during the game, and not at character creation.

Ive restarted several times because i wasnt happy with my characters well into the game but it has helped me narrow down the look and type i like.
Now i have 2 different characters i really like that i switch between...a battle axe barbarian nord and a altmer wizard. I plan on starting a female archer assassin type soon to add to the mix but havent settled on a race yet

bosmer make great assassins or archers in general.

I restart compulsively for reasons I fear I may never understand. I don't get bored. I don't stop having fun. I just want to try again with a new character. I'm like 180 hours in (Spent most of my time modding, not playing), and I've played like 15 characters, only one has gone past like, lvl 20. (He's 40 something)

I have played one Skyrim character: a nord with two-handed blades, who was fun to play. But at lvl 40 and with the MQ finished I had seen a lot of the world, and the game was starting to get easy, since the enemies stop levelling, so I decided it was time to start over with a new and different character. I haven't played since, but I will and I expect to get a much better feeling from playing a new character.

So I don't understand, why someone would prefere to continue past the point the point, where there are no challenges, and you have done everything in the game.

Strongly disagree. Starting a new character is a pleasure not a chore for me.

Nope, I make a character and I stick with what I want them to be for roleplaying reasons, that is part of the joy of these games.

true, i was leaning towards bosmer as ive never used them in previous games and i'm not a fan of khajit or argonians. Also i like the look of the bosmer female archer in the load screen and think i can make her look better

I put my 10yr old cousin onto skyrim and he chose wood elf because he thought they were made of wood :P
