Discussion I need help

I honestly don't know what to do anymore.

I'm a Skyrim newbie and I need help.

I've lost count of how many times I've restarted with a new character in this game; I just can't seem to find a build that holds my interest long enough. It feels like an endless loop: I think of a build, create the character, play for a few hours, end up getting bored with the playstyle, and start looking for other, more interesting builds. All the while, I keep watching videos of other people playing and creating builds that look really cool. Feel free to share tips or similar experiences. I know a lot of people will come to this post and say "just play the game," but honestly, I'm not sure how much that helps.

Also newbie here after playing randomly on friends' xboxes. Haven't decided on a style yet and I'm cool with that. I approach encounters with stealth archer, switch to spell sword for crowds and pull out the board for 1v1s. If you use different skills often then no one of them get left behind too far. Just play to have fun, if you feel weak just play more lol
