Yeah, uh, Skyrim isn't a roleplay game. It's an Open-world combat based game with RPG mechanics. If I could roleplay, then I become Alduin's servant, kill the Companions, destroy the Theives Guild, find a way to let Falmer totally invade Skyrim, kill any and all characters, butcher entire holds, desecrate the shrines of gods of the Nine, and let Alduin eat Tamriel.

Sadly, I can not do any of that. Just because you can play a "mage" or "theif" class doesn't mean it's roleplay. It just means you're playing combat the way you want combat to be.
