With the newest Deadly Dragons and SkyUI, you can amp the power of the dragons to ridiculous levels. Go into the Esc>Mod Configuration>Deadly Dragons menu, and there's a shitload of sliders you can set for the dragons.

Will definitely try turning them all the way up when I have time. I mean, we're talking gauntlets with 140+ unarmed damage levels of OP'd here.

While a dice roll in combat simulates the unpredictable nature of stabbing someone who is trying really hard not to get stabbed, perlin noise would simulate, erm... your stabs steadily growing weaker, then stronger again? Perlin noise doesn't really make any sense in this situation.

I was thinking it would be used (not with too much weight) to give a "turning the tides" feel to the game, not to simulate any direct character action (instead it would be a technical addition, one that would be hidden from the player), so that it would feel like your previous action would have some impact on your next one rather than each event being completely independant, which is unlikely in a combat situation.

Basically legitimise to a degree Gamblers fallacy, which many people experience when playing anyway, and to "spice up" the combat a bit more.

It could also have other uses (such as influencing NPC relationships - people get into different moods as the day goes on etc). Perlin all the Y!

How Laenaya has evolved thus far in my Skyrim play through (not really in-character)

-I'm a hybrid assassin/necromancer!
-Nope, I'm a hunter that loves animals! (dunno how it got to this to be honest)
-Nevermind, I'm a blood archer (thats what my character build really was anyway)! I just won't be a vampire.
-Well since my last outfit is banned from Skyrim...
-A new outfit! and it looks amazing! wait...
-*buys Dawnguard to use new outfit as it won't work without it*
-*might as well...*clicks buy on Dragonborn*
-Now I'm still a blood archer, but also a vampire! since...you know...blood...archer...and I bought Dawnguard...

All in a pretty short time too xD

I play the game in a similar fashion. The metaphorical-character-concept-grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

I usually go for the spellsword-type of class. (Swords & Destruction spells.)
What armor I have dosn't matter much, as long as I stick with one so that perk points dosnt go wasted.
I tend to go without shields since I dont find them to be very helpful.
Then when I have perk points to spare, I do a bit of lockpicking in order to get a bigger chance to find nice loot.

[WillowLuman]

I thought shields were so-so, until I found out about the offensive higher level perks for them and the awesome explosive shield from Dawnguard. Still, haven't played a character focusing on them yet.

[Rex_Nex]

I usually go with bow and bow accessories.

Because you'd have to tie me up to get me to fight a dragon with a sword. Gosh darn, how do people do that? The thing is in the air half the time, and if it lands anywhere other than right in front of you, you're only going to get a swing or two before its back in the air!

[timferius]

I usually go for a full Bow/Knife stealth loadout, though I'm running one-handed axe and sheild this time and having a good time of it.

If you dont want to be overwhelmed with forced quests.
Now you only get the quests once you actually initiate them!

Of course, I dont know if there is a Dragonborn version yet.

And for peks, I suggest Skyrim Redone's perk-tree module. Highly reccommend it.

And try the mod which is called Frostfall as well.
(Heat and cold affects your well being, naturlly being wet from a little swim will be bad in cold weather.)
But this particular mod isnt exactly a must-have.

But the unofficial patches for the game and each of it's DLCs are defenitively must-haves.

edit: How could I even forget?
Live Another Life
Enables you to start your game in whatever choices presented to you, some even race speciffic!
No longer do you have to go through that boring cart introduction and Helgen tutorial.

This will be last screenshot for a bit, but this one took me literally about 40 minutes to get right. I was actually about to give up and go to bed, but at the last moment I got this of Laenaya.

Would you recommend Live Another Life or Random Alternate Start? The former looks more geared towards giving the protagonist more backstory, and the latter seems to be mostly for creating interesting starting situations.

[Ultimuh]

Well I havent tried Random Alternate Start.

[fqllve]

It really depends on what you prefer. Live Another Life has some interesting random start locations too, but not nearly as many. But yeah, you pretty much pegged them. I use Live Another Life personally.

This pretty much.

Personally, I like Live Another Life more...but that is because I like background lore for my character more than anything. But it has the option (like fqllve said) to have some random starts.

For housing, I would suggest Garret's Retreat.
It's on Steam Workshop I think.
I have not taken a look inside yet, but from the outside, it's absolutely gorgeous!

Spoiler: Spoilers! Seriously! (click to show/hide)

It's located somewhere NW of Riften, by the cliffs, not above but below.
Just walk along the cliffs untill you see it.
And you are supposed to find a key to it which is located on a Corpse near the vincinity of Helgen.

Appearantly this house is supposed to be from a book, or a series of books, havent read it/them any way.

Not books, but the main character of the Theif games.
