The vast majority of the time I've redone characters in Bethesda games is because I realize they look absolutely dreadful somewhere at about 10 hours in when I actually stop and look at them. This is probably been the first time in any RPG with a fairly deep character creation system that I've been happy with the appearance and can't find anything wrong with it. I lucked out by staying in a fairly narrow focus with my skills and dumping points into two hand, heavy armor, and black smithing.
Heavy all day. I have no interest in moving around. I just like to plant my feet in the center of a room and then hit things until they stop moving and I can take all of their nice things.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but Risen 2: Dark Waters appears to be largely pirate themed, and might be worth looking into. If you're into the Gothic style of RPG, then this would probably do an excellent job of scratching that itch.
Here's a completely useless but pretty reveal trailer with no actual gameplay, but it does have some piratey dudes.
