Skyrim only becomes really fun with mods. Imp's More Complex Needs and Frostfall are obligatory. Some kind of hardcore combat mod as well.
Then I set roleplaying rules for myself. Last time I played a bosmer. Bosmer are strictly carnivorous. Therefore, no plant-based clothing or (if possible) weapons allowed. Bosmer only eat animal products and the bodies of the enemies they killed. Believe me, the game is way more fun that way.
