Like what the Shadow Ninja is saying take more time to really think out a character that really speaks to you as a player. Whether they be good or bad, lawful or chaotic or just sitting on the fence with the rest of the neutrals. Their little quirks, hobbies, likes and dislikes, things that drive them. Make long term goals for yourself, have them be as ambitious or simple as you like. It's all about having fun and I promise from experience you will have a lot more fun when focusing most of your time on a character you truly enjoy playing. You will see a story unfold, your character changing, growing and becoming someone else or reaffirming who they always were. This is a novel and your character is the protagonist, don't worry about the ending of the story because the path you take to get there is what it's really all about.
