The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

I can’t quite decide what I want to do next (I’ve mainly been focused on quests from and around Markath for a long time now, but should I finish off the few that are still outstanding? Or do I head back to Whiterun and resume the Companions quest line that I paused partway? Or do I pick up one of the threads I’ve had waiting for hours and hours and hours that would lead me to Falkreath or Riften or Windhelm or Solitude? Or, heck, I could do something else entirely (even the main quest!), but those seem like more than enough broad, lengthy options).

Rather than make a choice today, I dove into the pile of ingredients I’ve been saving up for yonks (it's over 60 hours of playtime since the last time I spent a whole session on this) and crafted a shedload of potions. I spent over 2 hours doing that in the end, with my Alchemy stat surging up multiple levels while I did it. I then sold a few of them, but all the merchants I already know aren’t rich enough between them to touch the sides of what I have to sell. I’ve got the same issue with tonnes of weapons (and raw materials to improve them) stashed away. Maybe they’ll be my focus tomorrow… It wouldn't be so ridiculous if I could break the habit of looting every little thing I see in dungeons, etc, but... well, we already know I’m a hoarder by nature.
