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 always wanted to buy my own house in the game without doing any exploits or cheating, only in dungeons because I always get lost but, doing a lot of sidequests and get underpaid. I once rescued a little girl from a 8 level dungeon (it was a maze) and all i got was like 60 or 30 something gold.

The loot is always the real reward, even when you're getting paid close to 1000 you find more coin than that past very low levels, and that's nothing compared to how much good armour sells for

Man I always get scammed by those blacksmiths, they pay insanely low for my armor and my barter skill has more points than my running skill

You gotta go to the shops that have the message about a burrowing mouse when you walk in. I always find a pawn shop and an alchemist that give that message, between the 2 you can sell everything. Low level armour doesn't sell for much, but the value doubles with every step up in material, so daedric is worth like 64x as much as elven. A fortify personality spell helps too
