So I decided to come up with an RP go my character. Unfortunately, I'm on console so I can't get any New Vegas style hardcoe mods, but I'm doing the best I can; only focusing 3 skills (Smithing, Block, One Handed (Also heavy armour but my shield is tanking more hits)) and sleeping at the end of a day.

My actual RP is a mercenary that was looking to join the Dawnguard before being captured by the Imperials and so forth. However, I'm not doing the MQ because it annoys me more than anything. As of now, I'm doing various missions in Whiterun hold to get money to get a horse and go to Riften. I'm playing on one of the harder difficulties and I'm also walking every where and have my HUD turned off.

And in this playthrough, looting bodies is a no-no. Who'd want to wear armour that ha someone else's guys spilled over it? I only wear armour that is bought/ I make myself and same for weapons. No taking gold from dungeons because gold coins from a few millennia ago wouldn't (Logically) be in proper use today.

What does everyone think?

I have my own 'house rules' so mods are welcome but not needed.
Can I point out that gold coins in RL from a millennia ago are probably worth several times their face value....just saying.
I don't do the MQ at all anymore, I do enough DG to get a good crossbow then leave Serena waiting at the castle. I hate that dungeon to get the scroll.
I keep telling myself no fast travel this play through, but I'm weak.

Sounds good. You could add some need for feed and/or drink into it if you want; either foraging or eating at an inn at least once a day.

Ah. I always lose track of time like that. I only remember sleep because I do it after a quest or at night.

Damn it. I can't wait to get a PC, modsmodsmods.

I get to the point to be a Vamp Lord so I can choose to be both. Though the Dwarven Crossbows are pretty sixy.
