like others have said, i have lost interest due to too many characters at one time. however, even that didn't relieve the staleness that i experienced with skyrim.
so what did i do? what i and others have advocated against in the past: a hybrid character that can do all. i can honestly say that the fun of the game is instantly back. i can wake up any day and play however i want and do any quest or play any style. i'm actually free from the roleplay.
and, this character is much more powerful than my other specialized characters. i choose the best perks from the best skills and play however i'd like.
I guess I did the same thing in a different way. I have different charcter's with different goal's.
Derik- heavy armor Battlemage, doing MQ and civilwar
Gareth- pure mage, college and explore all dwemer ruins
Sennia- sneak thief, TG and perhap's find all the Barenzaih stones.
Amber- hunter/explorer, no goal except to explore and live.
each character has different skill's, different agendas and they are at different lvl's, so depending on how I feel is which character I play.
