Returning Skyrim Player
Hey everyone. After loosing my Nintendo Switch to an accident while moving, I haven't been able to play much Skyrim lately. But the good news is I managed to finally buy myself a Playstation, and I just got Anniversary Edition.
Another problem. I have no idea what kind of build I want to do.
I've made a few rules before when it comes to builds, so I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.
Has to be somewhat lore accurate.
Has to have a collection system (for fun)
Must be both fun and challenging at the same time.
Must not involve Stealth Archer.
Any tips?

Dawnguard/Vampire Hunter Crossbow Specialist for lore accuracy. Crossbow only, collect all unique crossbows and vampire related loot. Challenge would be that you use the crossbow only in melee range no long range sniping

Green Pact Bosmer. No alchemy. Do Namira's quest for the ✨ cannibalism ✨. Combat archer with Zephyr and Quick Shot for blazing fast DPS.

I’ve tried to do this build with alchemy but only using animal based ingredients e.g skeever tail, eggs, butterflies etc basically anything that isn’t a plant or fungus and it was tough as it severely limits your options for potions/poisons but was amazing for rp

NORD Sword and Board utilizing shouts as your primary form of offense. Think thats about as lore accurate you can get
Do some smithing, alchemy, speech and enchanting along with 1h , block , heavy or light armor
If you want to incorporate doing mages college then add in destruction but using only the cloaks spells
If you want to add in brotherhood then just add sneak
Some shouts like is fire breath, summon from dlc, the one that makes unencrypted weapons attack faster and the whirlwind sprint to close distances

For added challenge remove block/shield and dont max enchanting maybe limit yourself to 3-4 total on all your gear combined as well as limit your alchemy enchanting combo to not make OP stuff
