That ' s my birthday too ! Birthday buddies ! <| sep |> Nice idea ! If you plan to main shouts , I highly recommend Thunderchild by the s same mod author . Not only do you get tons of awesome shouts , you will also be able to meditate , good for immersion . As for the role playing aspect you could have come to skyrim as a refugee , with only your pantheon if daedra to guide you , so you want to do as many daedric quests as possible , but not azuras , verminas and meridias , those you keep for midgame , when you begin to look for redemption . You also want to do the dark brotherhood and the main quest until you meet Delphine , but you declare her insane and let her be you ' ll return here once you accepted your responsibility as Dragonborn and are ready to face your destiny . After DB , you ' re drawn to the island of Solstheim , seeking the power of the black books . After defeating Mirak , you want to learn more about the voice , you hunger for its power , so you begin to make High Hroghar your home , and start learning the way of the voice . Henceforth you seek redemption , and start doing good . Now I recommend the quests you left out earlier , Dawnguard , maybe college of winterhold you want to study the difference between magic and the voice ? . I recommend you start 2 handed Ebony Blade and heavy armor , with a support skill of you choosing . In Solstheim you start getting interested in Destruction Magic , and also Alteration and Conjuration as sub skills . After your change of heart , you use Conjuration for bound weapons instead of enslaving daedraundead . You can transit to a spell sword playstyle with 1 handed now , and shouts as support . Though you won ' t use the voice until later in the game , I recommend you get And the universe listens ASAP . Turned out longer then expected , sorry .
