What gear should I enter bleak falls when I have requiem installed? What gear should I have thanks in advance.

Have you got enough money yet to buy Breeze home yet, or bought it. Buy it first before upgrading armor, weapons. With a house you have a location to store items, it's wasteful to sell steel ingots for example then buy 1 back for 3 times the price. I empty the mine near Riverwood, use the ore to upgrade smithing, so I can make my own armor or weapons. There is also a mine just outside Whiterun and north of the watch tower. It has a transmute spell in there, useful for converting iron ore into silver, then gold, then making jewelry, use any perks gained from using the spell to raise armor, weapon perks. Keep perks from smithing in smithing if you can. Make sure you can get flame spells, a flame bow, and possibly a flame atronach spell. You will meet a troll on the router to Bleak falls Barrow.

How much does Breezehome cost? Also, I'm heavily roleplaying so some of the things you mentioned wouldn't fit into my characters personality. I have an orcish chestpiece and helmet, with dwarven boots and gauntlets. Lastly, I have an elven longsword would that be enough to take the Draugr and the Dungeon Boss

$5000 for base house, a pigsty inside but nice after upgrades, about $3000 for those. As to last statement, ok if you say so.

With Requiem, Breezehome is only 3000 golds. And a home is unnecessary. Clear out a bandit cave and store your stuff in their chest. Bandits in caves and forts don't respawn. Ever. So your stuff is always safe in their chest. As for Bleak Falls Barrow, it's a mid-level dungeon now. Draugr are mid-level enemies. Do it at about level 20. And for gawd's sake use either magic or silver weapons. They'll wreck you otherwise. Sunfire from Restoration school is particularly damaging to undead. Vamps included. And if you see a vamp...RUN!!! They are no joke with Requiem. They aren't really fightable until you're over level 40. And if you try Dawnguard's first mission of getting Serana before you are a serious bad-a** then you're just going to die. Vampires, dragons, and dragon priests are the highest level non-special enemies now. You really won't want to tangle with any of them anytime soon.

I just beat Bleak Falls at Level 5 with orcish and dwarven armor, I also had an elven longsword

And just how did you get that orcish and dwarven armor? You certainly couldn't have bought them. Orcish armor is over 2K golds. And dwarven is over 1000 golds. Didn't you say crafting is against RP? So that takes that out. Though I can buy the elven sword. Many enemies have weapons that good with Requiem. And level 5? Did you have God Mode running? The main chamber would have killed you otherwise. No way. Sixteen level 20 draugr against 1 of you? Dead meat without cheating. Or being way higher level than 5.

And if you did manage to somehow actually clear that dungeon at level 5 without cheating, how'd you do it? Seriously. I want to know. I could use skills like that.

I was exploring and I found a bandit fight a sabre tooth and a mammoth so I let it play out. I let the animals kill eachother and they knocked the bandit to low enough health so I could finish her off. She had an orcish chest plate and helmet. I also had enough money to afford dwarven armor so I bought it.

It's not the gear I find so unbelievable. There are legitimate ways to get gear that good at early levels. As you mentioned. It's the beating BFB, I can't believe. That last chamber in BFB is a stone-cold b*tch. And using non-silver weapons would make it impossible without cheating. Non-silver weapons only do 10% damage. And even silver weapons only do 75% damage to undead. So your eleven sword would have been the next best thing to useless. And there's no way to not aggro tons of Draugr in that chamber, Even with Daedric Armor you wouldn't have lasted more than a minute. That's why I can't believe it. Too many enemies to take on. At least not without being high enough level to have both the health, and either stamina or magicka to wait out some attacks. But level 5? There's no way to have enough of anything to survive the onslaught.

I baited them a lot and used healing poultices and waited. I died a lot tho, and I had a follower to tank so I could slash up the draugr a lot

I did cheat a little I will admit.
