Everytime i make a new character its like....Oh man i cant wait to get "this armor" and "that weapon"! But when i finnaly get what i want, i dont know what to do with it. All i can do is attack bandit camps. Surely there must be more worth striving for? I need BIGGER bosses. When i fought the ebony warrior i was so pumped. I want that feeling again. I dont want to have to use bandit camps/draugr dungeons to kill things. I need more excitement.
Don't get me wrong, that is where my fun is! That's why i have a billion characters. But i would like to be able to stay with a character longer.
The I would suggest starting a character with no goal, and just see where the game takes you. Engage in a little role play. You'll find some interesting self stories will come out of it.
I don't aim for any particular item or quest - I let my character make the decisions, and see what happens. In my book, it's far more enjoyable and rewarding.
