I like organizing what I am going to do before I make the character. Race, Stone, Stats, Shouts, Equipment, and Quests. I have it saved somewhere so I don't forget.
If I haven't played in a while, I make a character with an excuse to make use of all weapons and artifacts in the game that I want. The last time I was a rogue Dominion Altmer.
In a way, I embrace it. With SE your character saves are seperated much like they are in Fallout 4, at the minute I am running 3 seperate characters with completely different playstyles, when I get bored of one, I switch to another, then another, then most likely back again. It's been working well for me so far.
For me having multiple characters of varied playstyles all running at the same time really helps. If I get bored of one I can just load up a different character and pick up where they left off. Also Character Building has injected new life into the game for me and really got me to buckle down and commit to a single character concept.

Well, you see, I restarted my test play of my Event WiP about... seven times so far? The highest I've gotten is, like, level 17 before I remade her. xD

You my friend are insane. ;P
Quite.
Hmm. What if, when you become bored with a character, you pick up a new skill? It might help diagnose whether you're not feeling the character or the gameplay. If you start using a new skill but still feel like restarting, it might very well be the character that lacks direction. If a new skill breathes new life into your gameplay, it could be that you just need a more dynamic skill set. But that's just off the top of my head. I've been trying to fix this for years with no true success.
TWO-HANDED!
Tehehe, actually, just creating new builds and playing other builds. I did have restarteritus really bad in the beginning though and still do when I don't start a build exactly the way I want to (wrong mod list, not feeling the mod list, that sort of thing).

I don't really mind restartitis. As most characters are unique in their own right. However, every time I re-play The Forgotten Vale, something inside me dies. First was an amazing experience. The second time was challenging. The third time was a drag and fourth time was just a nightmare. It makes me stay away from Dawnguard-based characters and they are usually very fun to play.
And here I thought I was the only one with this case of "Restartitis". It has gotten really bad lately. But the roleplay aspect does help, just got to find the perfect build and plan ahead. Now on to finding the right build in Character Building Archives. Hmmmmm......what type of mood am I going to be in for the next 3 hours?
