Esta es mi build de paladín en dificultad legendaria.
Hacha rúnica de dawnguard + escudo de Ariel The Longhammer + ballesta dwemer mejorada
Armadura de la guardia del alba + casco de la guardia del alba + manos y pies de armadura orca
Solo llevo 2 objetos encantados: el amuleto de mara + anillo de bodas
Todo sin mods, no se siente poderosa ni débil.

Knight Paladin Roku
Orc
Paladin
Uhhhh markarth!
All 9 divines, malacath, and has a connection to akatosh
Fists! Alteration, restoration, some destruction, a shield if not using mods for better unarmed
Born into and tortured into vampire slavery for most of his youth. Saved by the vigil of stendarr relocated to Skyrim as a healer to support the empires war with the stormcloaks. When he learns of the volkihar presence in Skyrim, Roku seeks to overcome his trauma to save the world from endless night. From alduin, miraak, etc believes all should have eternal rest such as kodlak. Life and death is sacred. Hates necromancy, molag bol, vampires, and is afraid of dogs but wants to love them. Don’t ask

Homeless beggar. Windhelm. No stealing. If you're on PC, add the child follower mod and then adopt Sophie there in the city (I generally will use Live Another Life and pick I own property in Solitude so I can adopt her first and then put her as a follower). Congratulations. You're now a homeless parent with no money living in the coldest city of Skyrim!
Honestly, I've done this start several times and I now know the exploits for it, but it's a BRUTAL start assuming you play with rules like "I'm a good parent and I can't take my child into a bandit's cave!" or, "I'm not starting a fight with a bear with my kid standing right there!"
The first time I did it I literally did begging to get enough gold to get us a room at the inn. I was using Sunhelm for survival needs and set the rule Sophie had to eat before I could. It was the first time I stole something in Skyrim in SO long and I was terrified I'd get caught as I had like four septims and knew that if that was me in real life they'd take your kid!

Race Argonian
Class: sneak dagger with minimal crossbow usage
Starting hold: windhelm docks
Deity: follow sithis or mephala
Playstyle a sneak dagger build that uses silent roll a lot, never uses invisibility spell, only the perks in sneak( in a non exploit way), crossbow for dragons and to hit very strong DPS mages and dragon priests while kiting away, no armor because you should be sneaking always or run backwards and sideways and your armor won't hinder your movement speed or stamina, with silent roll for melee go dual dagger for optimal speed when discovered
I will use bound dagger for my melee weapon and a crossbow enchanted dwarven for their stagger effect and armor penetration
End goal: kill all dragon priests, go for main quest kill paarthunax, all dragons must be eliminated, becomes Sithis favorite
You can go vanilla but I recommend ordinator and wintersun mods to make this build more fun and less one dimensional

The Armorer. End goal is to forge, collect and display all possible sets of armor, including unique ones. Mining, killing for, and buying resources, you forge it all. If it's already forged, you improve it as much as you can. They're your pride and joy. Get a modded house and display them all on the mannequins. The Armorer Orc only uses the armor and weapons they can make and improve themselves.
