    Ah yes, lets do an orc warrior build, and focus on one handed weapons and shields. With a side dabbling of stealth archer.

    I always start out with a random race, head in the opposite direction of Riverwood, eat everything I can pick up, and just start making and selling potions lol. Then I use the money to buy iron ore and start crafting daggers and selling those. Along the way, I may take a few side quests for extra cash. Then eventually buy or build a house.

    By the time I finally go to Riverwood to start the main game, I'm...a fully Daedric-clad stealth archer. Every time. lol. (I don't quite have the patience to level smithing to 100 for dragonbone, so I upgrade that along the way of the main quest).

    I started trying to make rules for my build. I had a few mods to help with it like paying blacksmiths or alchemists to craft for you if that skill wouldn't have made sense for the character.

    I tried to pick 1 main combat and 1 side combat of close, ranged, or magic and pick one of the 3 crafting trees. I also tried to walk or take the carriage as often as possible. A mod added more carriage locations and some ferrys. I did dabbled with some realisitic weight and survival mods but i found that stuff too tedious. Although i did like carrying gems over gold as some of them had a better weight to value ratio.

    I have yet to play Skyrim with any mods even though I'd really like to. Only thing I have are the DLCs.

    Getting it to run under Wine has been challenging enough (though it's a lot easier these days) so I didn't want to even attempt to mix mods into it.
