Recommend a mod for a "ranged" combat experience run?

Hi. I played Skyrim for maybe 10 to 20 hours when it was first released, then stopped at maybe 20-25% of the content and abandoned it. I'd like to give the game another go. And I know that this may sound strange, given the popularity (and apparent superiority) of melee combat in the game, but I'd rather experience this first run as a "ranged" combat experience. And when I say ranged, I mean combat from a distance generally; so even though I would prefer bows and crossbows, and specifically a much faster or more deadly crossbow combat experience if at all available, I'm open to good ol' fireballs and ice shards via magic. Can you recommend mods specifically for this sort of experience, aside from the important and popular must-have mods like SkyUI and such?

 

I would like the experience to be as close as possible to a shooter, but without being ridiculous or compromising immersion too much. And since immersion level is relative or dependent on the person, let me say that I can live with a mod that gives me an old-looking rifle that shoots powerful single projectiles that can one-hit kill enemies with a well-aimed headshot, even if such a gun would still be blasphemous in the eyes of hardcore lore disciples; but I would not use a mod that gives me an AK-47 or some sort of star-wars laser pistol to play with in Skyrim. There is a limit to which I would suspend realism. And of course, a fast-paced crossbow that is powerful enough to allow me to quickly dispatch of most enemies before they come close, in order to keep more than 80% of my combat ranged, would be ideal.

 

I hope I was able to explain what I'm looking for, and I hope that there is a mod out there that does this.

 

I did look at the first few pages of the most endorsed combat mods, by the way, but the only relevant ones I found were the ones that increase the speed of arrows and increases the damage of arrows. I'm not sure if those will give me what I'm looking for, so thought I'd ask.
