Does anyone have any good ideas for a good challenge or strategy to play Skyrim a little differently? I'm not much into the "extreme role playing" ideas like eating, or washing clothes, etc. I'm looking for something in the direction of combat or quests in general. The only thing I can really think of for starters is to keep it on Legendary at all times.

On my play through I only take carriages and never fast travel, then I do quests based off of the region I'm in. Like instead of running (or fast traveling in most peoples case) from markarth to riften to solitude, I would go to markarth and do 5 or 6 quests in that area before going somewhere else

you want a "Challenge"?

try using only Telekinesis as a weapon (by throwing clutter at foes).. I tried it but my Magika pool was not large enough... if you want to try it I recommend novice difficulty for obvious reasons...

Legendary Dead Is Dead with no HUD?

It's fun, trust me

It is indeed.

A melee warrior wearing only unenchanted street clothes.

Play as Black Dynamite using unarmed only.

Legend.

No HUD is barely a challenge. I've been playing without it for months; it's very easy to get used to this.

No:

- naked or ordinary clothes, no armour, no protection of any kind,

- no weapon,

- no magic (protection or spells)

- legendary difficulty,

- no follower, of course, not even a dog or a horse,

- no perks, just add points to health, magicka or stamina, and I'm being kind.

Challenge: Do Season Unending from the moment the quest is given to you until it ends without any aid in traveling ways, including but not limited to: fast travel, horse, canoes, carts
