You should really try hard to play differently and be strict about it. I finally was able to do that and it was a lot of fun. I played as a Breton mage and focused mainly on being a "support" type player. So I would conjure atronachs and buff up my companions. A lot of illusion, alteration, and conjuration stuff. I didn't use ANY destruction. Was very interesting.

That's because the thief class is hated in Skyrim. Khajiit are thieves, Lizons are Highwayman, and Argonians and Khajiit are drug dealers. It has been this way since the first Elder Scrolls game Moon Sugar and Skooma are narcotics this is why these three races are hated.

Due to a bug in Skyrim, Imperial Luck is given to everyone regardless of race. (All versions) - At the very beginning of Before the Storm (just after exiting the cave under Helgen Keep), all races get the Imperial Luck ability, the only difference being that Imperials can see it among active effects. (PC only) - This issue has been addressed by version 1.3.1 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch; it will only be properly fixed on a new game, and cannot reliably safeguard against fixing it if the player is a werewolf or Vampire Lord. (PC only) - This bug can be manually fixed for non-Imperial characters by using the console command set ImperialLuck to 100 to disable the perk, which persists between saves

As of now I'm trying to complete the vanilla game for the very first time. I play an Imperial specialising in one-handed swords and shields, restoration spells healing and lesser ward, Alchemy in the form of buff potions and poisons, enchanting in the form of damage dealing/draining, cash making or even soul stealing enchantments. After I finished this playthrough I'm going to settle for a while, play something else and then come back and do a homebrew/modded run where being OP is the main quest of the game. Becoming the daedric equivelant of god or satan is the way to go and there are a few rules outside of the goal and that is 1. the only sword you may ever wield is a lightsaber, 2. the only magic arts you may use are the dark and destruction arts, and things that make uncle sheo happy 3. become so godlike that you don't even need armor, you can bassically just wear clothing or undercloth and 4. everyone that doesn't bow to the player has to die or, if they are of great use, should be made your bitch and abused for either money, power, both or just your personal entertainment.

The thing with Skyrim is, you can pick a Nord and be a succesful stealth archer, no problem. It's only at the start and at higher difficulties that the starting powers actually matter. For example, starting out as a High Elf and get the extra mana, is great for legendary difficulty. However with the use of mods, one can simply customize your playthrough to your liking.

i think Orcs make great assassins. If you work on your sneak skills, you can do a sneak dagger strike for x15 around, I think, level 60. If you've joined the Dark Brotherhood, you acquire a set of gloves that grant double damage to back stab (basically just a sneak strike with a dagger, whether it be front, back, or side), as well as a set of boots that help muffle your movement. (Side note: if you become a vampire, you have a reduction is Illusion casting AND you are more quiet while moving around, plus you are granted abilities similar to Calm that you can cast once a day) And with the Orc's greater power, your now attacking with x60. The only thing that sucks is the beginning of the Illusion Tree. You need at least level 70 for quiet casting and you need to get the Invisibility spell, too. But once you get the Invisibility spell, you can level up illusion no problem. Just keep casting it in private, wait an hour after running out of Magicka, and continue casting. But right now, I'm playing as a Breton. With their ability to resist 50% percent of spell damage and 25% ability to absorb it, they're great for fighting dragons and mages. Plus, you can Fortify Magic Resistance in your enchanting, or come across items with FMR to further your resistance against spells. Personally, though, I like being able to Fortify Destruction Spells with my enchanting for 25% on 4 pieces of armor. So...100% Fortify Destruction Spells, which means free destruction casting. If you reach level 100 in Enchanting, you can now Enchant a piece of armor with TWO abilities. So that's nice to do. Holy crap. I've played way too much Skyrim. Oh well.

Bretons are the best tanky charecters. You can always decrease physical damage with heavy armor and training in that skill but reducing magic damage is much harder and even the thickest armor is not always useful without specific enchantments. So being a breton with say the atronoch stone can make handling any encounter easier as you can tank any form of damage.

This build I call the Paladin. Race Breton Skill specialization: one handed, block, heavy armor, smithing, restoration, alteration, enchanting. He is one of my most powerful characters purely for his stupid levels of defensive bonuses. He just can’t die from anything. This is powerful early game levels 1 to 15 as any human opponent doesn’t stand a chance. But once you got level 30 it gets crazier as even giants don’t have the offensive power to hit through your defenses. And if they do it means squat you can heal up with restoration cause they deal so little damage. So yeah Bretons make the best spellswords.

That is still to this day the ONLY play through where I completed the civil war & Dragonborn questlines. I have also played for a hundred hours or more in the past with a Khajiit mage & a Breton mage but never came close to completing any major quest lines except perhaps the College.

Skyrim came out in 2011 actually, but yeah, now that the special edition is out it seems everyone's redoing new videos for it. I mean gameplay wise nothing has changed but I'm still seeing a lot of "new" starting guides and builds rehashing everything that's already been said about the game capitalizing on the renewed interest and wider audience that the SE has brought to the game.

My most recent Skyrim character I made was a nord mage, specializing in fire related spells, I'm never one for optimizing builds, which is partially why I have a tougher time getting through certain parts of that game.

Lol when I first started playing, I was an Argonian because I liked the idea of being able to breathe under water. Then I realized the only way to attack under water is with a cloak spell before entering the water...and that there are items that give you the ability to breathe under water. Oh yeah...I still managed to get infected with Vampirism...and not the good kind. -_-

I think bretons are best for a tank and melee playthough; aka no magic. Because of their extreme resistance to magic theyll seldom have to use long range weapons or spells to kill those pesky mages. Instead they can brush off the incoming magic attacks and charge in with their melee weapon and shield, and get by just fine. Also their cute short stature will make enemies underestimate them, allowing them to get close for that crushing blow.

Personally I found Dunmer and Bretons more suited for mages. Their racial powers remain relevant in later parts of the game, whereas an Altmer's magic bonus becomes almost entirely redundant by mid-game when you have 100 enchanting. I find Altmer are more useful to playstyles that use magic as a subclass since the player is focused on their warrior/sneak abilities instead of free magic.

If I could use console commands, I would use them to cheat, but not in a bad way. For example, I would just unbuy a couple of rooms in the house in Windhelm so the game will stop crashing every time I enter, and unmarry one of my characters since I missed out on talking to them after the wedding to figure out who was going to live where. Or, use the console command that lets you marry whoever is not marry-able.
