I love Skyrim so much and my favorite archtype is the necromancer. Indeed i have been playing Skyrim for a few years now and I still love it today. 
There is really good exploit for a necromancer playstyle character if you have the DLC. The ritual stone has a cool ability of bringing back the surrounding dead for a short amount of time under your control and the bodies do not turn to ash afterwards, so you can reanimate a huge amount of dead, and use it again after the limit. The downside to this is that the ability can only be used once a day, but that is where the DLC comes in, there is an item called the Aetherial crown that has the ability to lock a second standing stone when worn. If you lock the Ritual stone to the crown, you can activate the raise spell, and then you just need to take it off and put it back on to use the spell again. With it you can enter a dungeon and after killing the first couple of enemies you can start to amass an army of the undead where you become increasingly powerful.
I have used it on my vampire necromancer character. That particular build requires a few interesting things, like getting the fairly high restoration perk that makes your spell more effective on undead, including on yourself if you area vampire. One of the DLC also gives you spells to summon things like skeletons so you are not reliant on finding a body.
