If you do not want to do one of the major quest lines, one idea is to give your character a mission. For example, it might be to explore every Ayleid ruin in the game (which was my character Teresa's. I even made a list of all the ruins and checked them off one by one so I would not miss any). Or it might be to hunt down goblins, or bandits, or vampires, or necromancers. Then fill in a backstory once you have that. An Ayleid explorer might be a former academic, who lost their credibility for their wild theories on Ayleid history and culture. So now they are on a mission to prove themselves right. Or perhaps it was their father who was the discredited scholar, and they are going to set things right for him. The goblins, bandits, vamps, necs, are easy to find a reason to hunt down. They killed your character's [insert loved one here], and now it is time for vengeance.
