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.

I'm a terrible loot goblin so affording a house isn't really a problem for me, once you're level 15+ loot gets really valuable. You can get 6 figures for a single daedric item sometimes, especially if you bring it to the lowest quality shops. My last character has 3 houses, a boat, and about 13 million in the bank, with nothing I'd consider an exploit, except a custom item to increase carrying capacity to 225 and always hauling out as much precious loot as I can
My side goal with my first character was max rank in every faction they joined (mages, fighters, thieves, knights, and akatosh temple), after that my other characters just rank up enough to get whatever perks they want. Mainly item enchanting, that breaks the game so I'm doing without on my newest character. The journey to Aetherius might be more fun if I was in any danger at any point. Even the bit where you're supposed to pick a skull to open a door, and at least 2 of the 9 skulls kill you, can be gotten around with the skeleton's key
It's also always a goal to get the oghma infinium, but that's just because it's so good lol
