Ideas for a new way to play.

[TeldrynSero]

Hello everyone, I have recently become bored of skyrim and went on a 3 month hiatus. I am now back, but I am still bored. So I was wondering if anyone had some ideas on how to make skyrim fun again? Maybe some new game changing mods? some role play? Or a new class to try out? If anyone has any ideas on a new play style, class, mods, or role play please give me them. I enjoy games that are pretty difficult so are there some difficulty mods you guys recommend? Thanks have a good day.

I've been doing various "challenge"-playthroughs that only do a few questlines or so, but with restrictions on skills and equipment used.

 

A berserker playthrough - Nord, dual-wielding axes, light armor (no skills other than one-handed and light armor) and only did the Civil War questline (on the Stormcloak side; because otherwise I'd never do that side).

A "warlock" playthrough - Any race, only using spells, staffs and robes (could also exclude Alchemy and potions for bonus toughness) and did the College questline and all Daedric quests (not including joining the Nightingales since that's not technically a Daedric quest, even though Nocturnal is a part of it; did this before I got the Dragonborn DLC so I didn't get any of the Black Books either).

All shouts playthrough - haven't done this one yet, no clue what kind of restrictions I want to impose on myself for it. But a friend of mine suggested it when I asked pretty much the same question as you do.

Thanks Bro! I am gonna try a strict mage playthrough.

i'm planning on doing a hunter rp one day. frostfall, hunterborn & campire all look good, haven't tried them out myself yet though. i've spent about 99% of my skyrim time as a stealth archer, so i'd like a new challenge too.

I think I went to creation kit once and modded the deer speed a bit, for extra difficulty :)
