You know I just had an idea that came to mind somewhat similar to what Zonnonn said. Perhaps to make your hiatus from your character actually a meaningful part of it, you could weave into the roleplay a reason for the character themself to "take a break". Maybe they need time training with the Blades for their upcoming dragon fight (or in your case, Mehrunes Dagon fight). Maybe they need to lay low after one of their recent heists went wrong. Maybe theres a powerful spell they want to master but need time to study it. Or perhaps adventuring has taken such a physical toll (one I couldn't begin to imagine, the physical abuse I put my video game characters through is unthinkable) that they need time to rest in their luxorious manor they often leave vacant. These are just a few examples but I think it would help (And I definitely would write it down along with other things like Zonnonn suggested) because trying to jump right back into the middle of a quest or task that was not previously tapered can kinda be a buzz kill and make you not wanna play that character. -ramblings from a Madd Mannatee :) 

Zonnonn said: Might be personal taste, but I feel like the older the rap the better, or at least an older style. Basically anything by DMX or Eminem would pump you the fuck up for a badass montage. More modern rap is moving away from the solid beat it used to have - I'm pretty sure some Trap songs don't even have a beat half the time. Joyner Lucas could definitely work though, although maybe I'm biased because I love that guy. Yeah modern rap definitely is feeling more and more idk empty and surface level (especially with all these new shitty/hilarious young rappers coming in {looking at you Lil Xan and 6ix9ine!}) But again with regards to Skyrim, it'll be weird regardless so all it takes is a kickass beat and generic hypeness and you're set. I'm currently playing like a leader of heroes build with 5 decked out followers and I think that Clique by Big Sean would be fucking sick to show off the whole squad doing their stuff. The ultimate dragon killing clique :D

I feel this! I was doing an Oblivion playthrough (this is very recent like last month) and my plan was to do a roleplay in which my character from oblivion lives through time (High Elf) to then be playable in Skyrim. I was really enjoying my oblivion experience (best game ever imo) but before I even got myself to peek into Shivering Isles, I was like "hm, one quick taste of Skyrim won't hurt anyone." Yeah....haven't turned on my Xbox since. I really want to go back and finish it (was partly taking awhile because I only had short sessions to play and I legit want to do EVERYTHING I can that fits my roleplay) but I'm enjoying slightly modded Skyrim too much right now.   Partly I think that if you come back to it and feel "meh" about picking up where you left off, just start again with something else. Video games are nice in that the end goal is fun and entertainment and you can dictate how to achieve that. If you think it won't be fun to keep playing through that character at the time of your return, then it isn't worth it to try! No shame in taking the most fun route :)

ilanissilver Well as a 17 year old kid, I only wish I had a more refined musical taste than my generation seems to have developed, I work in a warehouse with people aged mostly 20-30 and whenever I take over the music for a bit I get ragged on for being a "uncultured swine" XD I'm sure you'd feel right at home listening to their Pandora playlists :)    Delta, that song is so upbeat and heroic, I'd love to see a kill compliation from the civil war questline with the stormcloaks destroying the imperials

Hey Z maybe we could throw some songs that would work good in here to kind of build up a supply of options to choose from. Like Esketit by Lil Pump wouldn't go with anything but like Till I Collapse (Eminem) could just be a sick orc beating the shit out of people, I Don't Die (Joyner Lucas) could be an ironic/funny necromancer compilation, Plug Walk (Rich the Kid) would be perfect for a Kajhiit skooma dealer XD. Idk its cringey but I think some would be really fun. Even just small clips from a song. Lemme know if you have any other ideas
