What would be a good challenge run?
Let's have some fun.

Come up with a challenge run.
Something with a restriction or requirement to be played as.

An easy example is no healing, etc.

No arcane classes. That means sorcerers, wizards, warlocks and bards.

Jack of all trades only. You can use every companion, but all have to multiclass with a maximum of 1 level in each class.
Honor Elden Ring's Let Me Solo Her by wearing nothing, two scimitars in each hand, fighter class, and wear the fugliest huge helm you can find (unless and until someone makes a mod allowing for a cauldron to be worn as a helm). Body model: skinny, male, human. Do not use magic at any point in your playthrough whatsoever. Only weapon hits in melee range, no arrows or any throw/ranged attacks. No companions allowed in any fight, just yourself. All praise LMSH.

I just made a Dark Urge Human that is going for the Jack of All Trades route (meaning 1 level in every single class). I deviated from the standard "viable" builds and went something like 8 str, 8 dex, 12 con, 17 int, 14 wis, and 12 charisma I believe? Can't remember exact numbers. But I also plan on largely doing a Random Number Generator for all story choices, except for specific instances where a permanent stat bonus or item is on the line (for instance I know I want the +1 stat from Auntie Ethel, and I know I want the +2 con amulet and +2 charisma hat, also the club that sets your str to 19). I did buy the DLC so I will also have the hat that I believe gives you a ritual to Disguise Self, so this will definitely be an interesting run...

Also I'm on Tactician and my character's name is Sheogorath. As in the God of Madness.

If half my NPC's die, then they die.

Melee weapons only.

Dark Urge, all evil options no exception.

Start the game as a barbarian and open Shadowheart pod with brute force. After that, no Illithid power.

I am currently playing a run with no long rests. I have already used 3 short rests (2 basic ones + 1 bard ability), so not sure how long I'm going to be able to progress like this (I'm in Act 1 Underdark).

One thing that bothers me most so far is a permanent Bane, which I received for breaking the mirror in the Hag's basement (to free whoever was inside) . Accoridng to some discussions this condition should be gone after a long rest... hopefully this also applies to the forced rest between the Acts, otherwise I'll prolly have a long rest.
Melee attacks only; Range attacks only; no cheese (and no thrown objects); 12 scrolls of revival only (4 per act); No pot (healing skill excluded); no rest (except forced long rest) yes, you can go without rest completely ACT 1 ACT 2 100% without resting ; all same classes or lest 2-2 (get hirelings)

Go for the 1 of every class multiclass achievement.

Almost doing this with one run. 3 Champions and 1 EK. Took the EK for Longstrider mainly, otherwise it would have been 4 Champions.

Also doing the opposite with another run, 4 Wizards.

Provides for quite different combat experiences.
