Good day my fellow Cohhilitioneers!

I'm planning to do a 100% playthrough of Skyrim, but I want to play with a bit more roleplaying then just make the character I'm used to play.

What I need help with is comming up with a interesting build for my playthrough. (I'm not really good at comming up with ideas myself)

I'm thankfull for any tips you guys can give me. :D

If you have the PC version and are up for modding, I recommend getting the mod Ordinator. It changes the perks so that you can more realistically play stuff like paladin, necromancer, druid, bard, etc. It also adds perks for shouts, so you can play a more dovakiin/greybeard type character.
Otherwise, you can't go wrong with a spellsword, if you know what that is.

If you want something challenging and fun to roleplay, try out something like this build I call "true thief". Essentially, your goal is to avoid combat whenever possible, using stealth and rune traps in order to navigate dangerous areas. Even when you have the advantage, sneak attacking isn't your method so much as pickpocketing poisons or laying traps with illusions and runes is. Armor, enchantment, archery, one-handed weapons, direct destruction spells...these things are last-resorts, usually for when you've given up trying to do something within the build's guidelines.

I highly reccomend it. Graphics wise things can look absolutely stunning. Gameplay wise you can get it to play almost like Dark Souls. If you need any help, I've modded Skyrim a lot and could give suggestions/help you figure things out.
