On the enchanting side of things, save all the clean rings and amulets you find and enchant those. Skill gains plus even more money, think that's how I made my fortune on my original playthrough.
I don't think I've ever noticed the details like that! I do remember Hamelin and his army of skeevers but hadn't noticed the Lusty Argonian Maid next to beds. I suppose even in Tamriel "50 Shades" is popular bedtime reading

I started dabling around a bit with the enchanting table, mainly because i wanted to get smithing enchantements on my gear. Turned out i can't get it at a decent amount (yet?), but at least i'm getting a good amount of money from it. Went past the 100k gold mark.
In that regard, i've been getting several achievements, like my first 100 skill (one-handed) and i joined the thief guild and mages guild. Don't plan atm to really use a lot of magic, but since my lockpicking was at almost 80 anyway, thief guild didn't see that wrong of a choice. And i'm following that quest line now, enjoying it as well.
Keep getting sidetracked, because my first intention was to keep progressing in the war questline: i went for the empire troops, even captured 2 forts with them. But now i'm doing other stuff again. Soo many quests, so many things to visit.
I also thought i had never been in Markarth before, untill i recognized the Mace of Molag Bal in some questline. I had it on my previous character, but couldn't remember ever being in the city. Weird, you'd think i would remember walking around in a big Dwemer ruin.
Love the little things and jokes that are in the game, like finding "The lusty Argonian maid" next to a lot of beds, running into a guy named "Hamelin" or something raising an army of skeevers and much much more.

Not sure about imperial or stormcloak. I was thinking Stormcloak, untill i started talking with them some more. Seems like it's a big Nords first attitude which i'm not that fond of, being an orc. Haven't talked with the imperials yet, i have a feeling nobody likes orcs.

I must've been really lucky in my first playthrough, I don't remember coming across any major bugs. Either that or I just didn't realise. Sometimes it can be hard to tell when a game is designed to give you freedom what is a bug and what is just sheer bad luck. I have run into tons of small bugs though, mostly just amusing things.

still bashing skulls with my shield and decapitating things with the axe. Slowly making progress, smithing is near lvl 50, but i'm not sure if i'm going to bother with enchanting. Of course it would be better if i would, but it kinda doesn't feel right for my orc. And there are already too many things on my to-do list.
Basically i'm pretty randomly running around, discovering awesome sights, occasionally exploring ruins. At times i feel like crossing things off my quest list, and start working on those, only ending up sidetracked again, taking more random quests.
Haven't been in a few major cities yet, so still got tons of exploring to do.
My previous character stranded at lvl 25, now i'm at 26 so technically i'm further than in that playthrough. Didn't get involved in the stormcloak/imperial army discussion yet. I also ended up with a major bug in the Companions questline, really got stuck there. Then i realised why i had 100+ saves on that other character. Took me some good internet searching and putting some bits and pieces together, but ended up fixing the bug (it involved teleporting, don't ask).
I also wonder why i stopped playing previous game. Probably lack of time, but still enjoying myself so much with this game.

Progressed to about lvl 16. Bashing skulls with a skyforged axe from the brotherhood quests and smashing faces with my shield. Onehanded is over 50 so i got 2 perks that make my powerattack stronger. I have a chance to decapitate foes now, pretty cool.
Also trying to build up my smithing skills. In my previous play i never even mined a single ore. I can make dwarven armor now, but not sure if i want to buy the ingots needed for it.
There's so much in the game that i haven't seen, there probably will be a lot of things i'll never see. I got sidetracked all the time previously, so only in this playthrough I encountered the Blades.
