How to make Skyrim interesting again?

[Flipzer]

I completed the main storyline several times and dawnguard is pretty boring so far, tried hearthfire for a bit, but nah.
What is there to do to make Skyrim fun and a joy to play again?
The game is amazing but aside from the main storyline and dawnguard, what is there to do?
People have thousands of hours on Skyrim, what draws you towards this game, and how do you keep it interesting for so long?
Thanks for any suggestions that may appear :D

RPing? Nowadays, I have Word open for my write up after I play Skyrim. Usually in an hour a session.

Role playing. It's been over a year since I've even touched the main quest (That one is for when I an *done* with Skyrim) and so far my playthroughs have been about non-Dragonborn characters.

I write about their adventures after the session.

Want to make Skyrim fresh again?

Mods

Try out "Falskaar", an unofficial expansion-mod sort of thing, adding a big new area with new quests and NPC's to explore.

Or how about some overhauls, like "Frostfall", which adds a survival aspect to the game.

Stuff's became too easy? Try out "Requiem", a combat and balance overhaul.

Of course, you can also become simply burnt out and be mentally "finished" with Skyrim, in which case you can try to mod this game up the wazoo and still be bored.

Role Playing is what RP means and it is 100% correct for me as well. A different character with a different world view making different decisions than any other I have played. It is a mind set you must enter, kind of totally outside yourself. I am not a psychotic killer, but I have played the Dark Brotherhood as such. Wasn't a very long playthrough though as the towns quickly emptied of people who my character percieved slighted him. Or the thief who did not kill anything but animals (ASLAL helps for this type of play), and I mean literally only killed the guy you have to in the quest line. She did not not take any kill bandit leader type quests, only retrieval ones. This is what has kept me coming back.

Oh, and mods, lots and lots of mods.

Sounds a bit too far out for me, but i'll try out some mods :)
Can't wrap my head around pretending to be somebody i'm not, it's too immersive :)
I don't have the time for it either, but Skyrim is an amazing game for sure

Yea, I understand. I'm old school, played D&D back in the 70's when it first came out (and yes I mean D&D not AD&D). I have been playing CRPG's since they were text based and written in BASIC. So this type of nerdism has been part of my life for a very long time. I actually find it kind of liberating to explore that side of human nature (or orc or elven nature). I also get the same sort of what if's from reading. Love in the Time of Cholera to see what unrequited love is all about. Or The Shining to delve into madness (book not movie, even though Jack Nicholson's portrail was spectacular). I'm just enough of a nerd to really get into that side of things.

get some money and get the dragonborn DLC, its awesome.

Start new characters with builds you havn't tried before or give yourself a challenge. The game might feel interesting again if you experience things you haven't done before. Mods would also help but it depends on what you're looking for.

Heres a list of challenges you might want to try:

I have 450 in Skyrim, and the way I keep it interesting is roleplaying more, and if its on
PC, use mods.
