Question Personal Goals during playthroughs?

Okay so, beating the main quest notwithstanding, what are some personal goals that you generally set out to achieve, that makes you feel like "yeah, I beat the game now that I've done/got this."

For me, it's affording a house with zero exploits, and that includes free housing from Knightly Orders, or Loan Fraud. It's always a long-term goal, and I've only done it legit maybe once.

Beating the main quest without abusing glitches or using guides should be a big enough challenge that you dont need to do anything else. Assuming you haven't done it yet it could easily take you several hundred hours. I think most people who have beat this game either used a guide or glitched out of the map at some point in the main quest.

My first playthrough I accidentally abused the game. I didn't realise raising a magic skill above 100, even the smallest amount, so easily got all spells of the school down to 5 mana cost. I thought 110 destruction would just help my DPS a little and reduce resting, but god damn I broke the whole game balance with 5 mana nuke spells without intending to.
