Katastrophe
King of Tales
If this is in the wrong section, I apologize. I was debating between here and the help forum but because this is more an "out of game" issue, I opted for here.
Hello everyone. My name is Kat, and I suffer from CRS.
For the past few days, I've been scouring the internet for a cure for this disease. I have owned Skyrim since it's launch for the Xbox 360. I have purchased Dawnguard. I have spent countless hours playing this game and yet, to this day, I've never completed a single major quest line. Why? Because I've never gotten past level 30 before I make a new character. This is extremely frustrating. I want nothing more than to have a character I can fully roleplay and enjoy in Skyrim, yet I almost immediately grow bored and want to change things up.
I think this is mostly because I'm so picky. I feel like I simply must play on either Expert or Master, because otherwise I feel like a demi-god and I lose immersion. However, when I play on these difficulties, I almost always find myself leaning towards some sneaky archer build which I find to be completely broken, even on Master. I also think that as far as the main quest goes, a sneaky archer doesn't exactly fit the main quest. I also tend to impose certain rules upon myself to add to the immersion. I always ban fast travel, but on some playthroughs I've gone as far as to forbid myself from using weapons and armors I find or can purchase in shops, claiming them to be either "off balance" or "a poor fit" or "damaged and bloody".
I need help. I know that somewhere in my thick skull is a character I can enjoy, but he's bogged down by stereotypes and the sheer abundance of possibilities. I've read just about every build posted here and nothing really jumps out at me. I've thought of it all, from a greatsword-wielding "Nord Smash!" character to a tricky Argonian assassin to a Breton who aspires to become a Greybeard. Nothing feels right.
Does anyone else suffer from this? How did you overcome it? This is incredibly frustrating and I'm at wit's end!
