I've played as a Assassin,Battlemage,Beserker,Knight,Orc and a Witcher, Shoot me some new ideas for another playthrough.

Pacifist: do the MQ without killing a human, mer or animal (mythical creatures and draugr allowed)

Daedric artefact timed run: Collect all the artefacts in under 40 hours.

Play as an NPC.

A healer, as described here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Classes#Healer?

Have you tried playing without using armor? I'm doing an archer/mage for the first time, and it's quite fun and different.

A pugilist.

The Trickster

enjoy

A greybeard. You'd have to disable the shout cooldowns for this to be viable though, shouting your way through combat would be cumbersome otherwise. And don't forget the obligatory grey beard.

Pugilist is fun for about 30 minutes.

This I find the most interesting



Saw a mudcrab the other day.

Got the idea from Chris Livingstone's blogs. Well worth a read for anyone who hasn't, I preferred the Oblivion one but the Skyrim one was really entertaining as well.

Glad you like it! I'm playing this type of character on both Oblivion and Skyrim, along with a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Classes#Warrior, a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Classes#Rogue and a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Classes#Monk.

A witcher? Please do tell me the build you used for that, I always wanted to create a witcher character after playing TW2

You played The Witcher and you don't know what a Witcher should be made of?

Khajit fist fighter, go around and punch everything to death.

Well it sounds like you have done everything you can do in the game. I say play something else untill some DLC comes out.

I do but, ughhh, It's complicated.

I would say a Ranger; Wood Elf with illusion, archery, alchemy, one handers, light armor, etc. Too bad there's no way to actually summon an animal ally, only turn one to your side.

Play as a permanent level 1 character.

Never assign points to health, stamina, or magicka when you level up.

This also means no access/assigning skill points and perks.

Your character still levels up in skills like sneaking, etc., but without the perks, it's not anywhere as good.

And without smithing and enchanting, your weapons are not going to be doing as much damage. You have to live off of the land, finding better gear in loot, drops, etc.

Good luck.

PS: If you get tired of it at some point, you can always assign skill points and level up. And since your mana never goes above 100, a mage character probably won't work either.

If you're on PC, use http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=16106 mod, and play as someone who does that job for a living, besides adventuring. You can also use some hunger mod to add even more realism.

A merchant. Level skills in crafting, speech and archery. Go hunting, mining and enchanting. You could spend a bit of time with the khajiiti caravans, or lone wolf it from town to town.

Oh yeah, no armour either.

Now THAT is a cool challenge!

A beggar or drunk who has finally decided to try and turn his life around.

-use whatever mismatched armor and weapons you find/loot (or use raggen robes, found on body in tutorial. Or use the clothes you start with only). No smithing or enchanting.
-if you get a disease, keep it and never cure it.
-if you play a drunk, keep plenty of wine/beer with you and take a drink before or after a fight.

Pro Wreslter- Wear Heavy Amor and have a big beard and huge muscles. Run into Battle with your bare hands and punch people and nowadays you get to body slam them and all kinds of suplexes if you are lucky enough to get a kill cam. Before Run into battle use the shout "throw voice" so you can talk crap to your opponents before giving them the smack down.

Merchant- You cannot use any weapons that are stronger then steel and no skyforge steel. Your weapons are restricted to daggers and you cannot dual wield. You only fight enemies if you have no other choice. Try to get a follower instead to help you. Smithing is fine but you cannot use it to increase your own weapons only your followers weapons and the weapons and armor you sell. No Armor. You should probably focus on increasing your stamina because you will be running...ALOT. LOL. No using enchanted items unless you find them btw so no making your own enchantments. Pretty much you play like that until you have managed to buy every single house in skyrim with all of the upgrades. Then you can consider yourself a good merchant. Focus on alchemy and improving weapons and armor to make your money. Absolutely no magic.

Healer - Focus on healing magics. Only increase perks for restoration and Illusion. Acquire a dog and a heavily armored follower and try your best to keep them alive and fighting. Its really not too difficult because you can still use destruction magic it will just use more magic then normal.

He-Man - Blonde Nord male with short hair and big muscles. Wear fancy civilian clothes in public. Use a Skyforge Steel Claymore/Greatsword, Skyforge steel sword, and wear Hide Armor or scaled Armor. Now if only we could have a pet saber cat. That would be perfect.... But Meeko or another dog will just have to do lol.

Kratos- Imperial or Nord Male. Wear Heavy Imperial Armor, dwarven Armor, Pentius ocalatus armor??? maybe... smeh. Use Scimitars (Flame enchantments) and Daedric swords. Always duel wield with one handed swords. Use a great sword (shock enchanment). Use a Bound bow. Get the little goatee and a red face tattoo and your good to go man.

Link- Wood Elf. Wear Green Robes and no Armor, Shield, sword, and Bow. Stealth, Archery, one handed, and block are important. Stealth is not as important as the rest though. And it might be good to use alteration magic to make up for not having any armor on.

Patrick Swazy- If you die After you get married you must constantly use Become Ethereal Shouts when talking to your wife.

FalmerMan/Batman- Wear a Falmer Helmet, Nightinggale armor , Daedric Gauntlets, Daedric Boots. Use Falmer Weapons. Collect enchanted Items because Batman is nothing without his gadgets. Leave your outfit on the mannekin in Solitude until you've accepted a mission... then go change. Use Faendal as your sidekick. Dress him up in Dark brotherhood armor perhaps? Ride around on Shadowsmere.

Spartan- Imperial, muscled but not too large, Pentius Ocalatus Armor and imperial helmet or imperial officers helment. Sword shield and bow.
.... yeah i get pretty bored so i do stuff like this... its fun to do.

One or two handed,Alchemy,Light armor,journeyman level destruction/alteration/illusion and Lycanthropy I mean Wolf house mutagens


I might consider
