Be a fierce and barbaric warrior!

Create a Nord or Orc character.
Don't wear any style of armor, besides Fur and Leather.
Use Two-Handed weapons (Claymores, Battle-Axes, Warhammers or Volendrung is a great choice for this)
Live in the mountains, use the console to create or befriend other bandits and make them your barbarian friends.
Make Dive Rock or Gnoll Mountain your home.
Live in a nice cave or house in the wilderness (e.g Brindle Home), of course after the place is cleansed of the original inhabitants.
If you live at Brindle Home you might actually not kill the inhabitants for the fact that the people who live there are Hunters and Adventurers, similiar to you: a Barbarian, so you could live with them pretending they are your friends, drink the mead and ale with them, live with them, adventure along with them etc...
Keep a collection of looted items, bones and skulls (nice for a skeleton puzzle).
Keep a nice supply of booze so you can get drunk (along with your friends, see Above) after a successful raid.
Go out and raid villages, caves and forts.
Don't go into cities, since Barbarians don't really like cities.
Barbarians like to explore alot the world that surrounds them. The wilderness is their home and land so try to get a full map (discover all possible locations) and loot many locations such as Rockmilk Cave from time to time.
