Really? ....really?
First of all, it has been confirmed that the creature-and-loot-leveling system is far more like Fallout 3's was than Oblivion's, so your whole reason for not leveling up is rendered moot anyway. You will still be capable of coming across high-leveled, difficult enemies at level 1, just as you will be able to come across low-leveled, easy enemies at level 25.
Also, if you're putting so much effort into roleplaying, wouldn't this actually...make it more realistic? In reality, a herb gatherer would have to face the dangers of going out in the wild to go about his or her profession, including facing the potential risk of encountering something far outside their ability to combat. It sounds to me more like you want an easier experience rather than a better roleplaying experience.
