Hardcore roleplayer? Let's see how you deal with THIS:
Live in a town, village, or city in Skyrim for 30 days (without abusing the wait or sleep functions). I highly recommend choosing a random location to do this, as opposed to Whiterun or Riverwood.
General Rules:
You may only sleep 8 hours a day.
If you venture outside of your chosen home city/village/town, you must return home by 12 AM. You are allowed to violate this rule exactly once. (example: a dungeon turns into an all-night affair).
You must eat three meals a day. Any hunted or harvested food only lasts for 8 hours and must be discarded or eaten raw. Cooked food purchased from inns only lasts two hours and must be discarded if not eaten.
No fast travel or carriages.
Wait Function Rules::
1 hour per spell tome
4 hours per readable book
1 hour for mining an ore vein
1 hour for eating
1 hour for cooking
2 hours for smithing an item
1 hour for every three potions created
1 hour for every enchanted item or disenchanted item.
1 hour for every four crops pulled/harvested
Tips:
Develop a routine. Maybe you exercise with your sword, axe, bow, magic, or warhammer an hour a day. ( No wait key). Or perhaps you visit the apothecary every Wednesday to buy health and stamina potions. Up to you.
Exercise all dialogue options with all characters. Talk to people. Make sure you're not missing out on something. Eventually, you will grow tired of the same three sentences, but if you mix up your conversations by talking to all available NPCs, you can make NPC conversations less boring.
Avoid quests that take you out of town. The blacksmith wants a certain book that is twelve hours away? Sorry (for now)
Hang around places where NPCs congregate. You might hear dialogue you never heard on previous playthroughs.
Explore the surrounding areas to find unmarked locations and random encounters.
Craft to level up, if possible.
