Spend a hour making a character then go to Riverwood and complete every quest I can.

spend hours on making a character haha

Be a complete badass allday everyday.

Well, first off I'll go the route we've all seen by now. Riverwood-Bleak Falls Barrow-Whiterun. After that I'll propably try to set up a base of operations as soon as possible. Finding a house might be a good idea. (I hope we can sell our houses this time...  moreWell, first off I'll go the route we've all seen by now. Riverwood-Bleak Falls Barrow-Whiterun. After that I'll propably try to set up a base of operations as soon as possible. Finding a house might be a good idea. (I hope we can sell our houses this time around.) Then I'll see if there's some kind of "Bounty Hunter" questline. I'll be working on smithing a lot and maybe get myself a wife, I'll spread out the main quest over the course of the game. So like say, for every quest in the main questline I do, I'll do 2-5 side quests. Then repeat.   less

My plan is before ever touching the main quest is to collect as many shouts as I possibly can then level up my all my skills in all the areas of magic! When I got that done go to war with the dragon race!
 

get to the college of winterhold and enjoy the scenery along the way then master all the magic skills! then find a wife and then after i mess around killing and conquering..thats when i will start the dark brotherhood quests as a murdering mage

Crafting, treasure hunt/steal, land, kill a couple dragons, assassins guild, thrives then main quest for my namesake character

All these are awesome answers guys lets keep this going!

1. Start on the main quest a LITTLE
2.Establish friendship with the college of winter hold ( hopefully i can get some free spells )
3.Establish friendship with the companions (for free armor and weapons)
4.finish main quest
5.DO EVERYTHING

Good answer
