level 106 and pretty much exhausted the game ? Well I'd recommend you start afresh (i realise you didn't want to lose your character) BUT start on legendary (never change the skill level) and do not resort to any form of boosting, no training sessions, no restoration potion glitch, no infinium book glitch, no pickpocketing saves, etc. No shortcuts.

I think you'd find the game reborn - I couldn't finish a combat based quest until about level 35 - 40 (even the mudcrabs could one hit kill me), spend so much time in jail because of pickpocketing fails, my werewolf would be better with paper claws (no more killing at leisure), and so on.

I've just passed the 1'000 hours (all games combined) and yet doing the above made parts of the game feel fresh. I'm up to level 103 this time and only finished about 70 quests (not inc. the misc. ones). The difficulty makes you keep things at a slower pace (e.g. some friends have virtually finished all main questlines but are only around level 70), with some combat scenes taking me 15 - 20 minutes to finish.

Oh and I've never felt compelled to finish the civil war quest (on any game) - who would you support ? racial intolerance or religious hatred ?
