So Miz, if I know anything about you, I'm sure you'll find this pretty funny.

[spoiler] I've stumbled across three Black Doors so far. >> [/spoiler]

So. Annoying. Got smithing to 100, went the "light armor" route, right side, and can now only use dragon stuff to make a light or heavy armor set. Both daedric and ebony weapons seem to be better than glass ones by significant margins.
And I can't go down from the Top in that tree like I've expected, so in order to actually get better weapons I need to waste three perk points, two if I'd be content with ebony weapons.
This is mildly annoying and not a very good design. Give me dragonbonescalesomething-bows and daggers, please!

The rest of the game, however, is absolutely stunning.

Well, to be fair, Smithing is largely there for the heavy armors and the weaponry. The best heavy armors are from Smithing. For Light Armors, you're actually better off doing the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild questlines, which only leaves weapons. This in turn means you could disregard the left side smithing options (elven, glass) for the far superior ebony and daedric weapons.

Poor design? I don't think so, really, since not a single perk point there are wasted. Every time you learn to smith something new there, you can suddenly turn a new type of ingot/ingredient into armor/weapons -and- improve them. That your character isn't very interested in wearing them just means that suddenly your companion got themselves a smashing new outfit, or the vendors of Skyrim collectively cry out in anguish as you deplete their gold supply.

It's quite simply a price/reward situation where you alone can be the judge of whether or not you want the ability to smith those weapons more than you want the (insert alternative perk choices here).

I myself now have the somewhat excruciating choice ahead of two of my own characters whether or not it'd be worth leveling smithin and enchanting respectively to high levels, since it'd benefit them. The question becomes... would it be worth the perk points? Bad design? Not at all... just choices to make.

Man what the fuck is up with the Garudlr Amulet.

Great and terrible artifact of ancient power that thousands of men died fighting to seal away, guarded in-game by 3 high tier bosses, separated in 3 pieces in 3 different dungeons.

I finally assemble the fucker and I'm practical shitting myself as the stats page loads

Holy mother of Hell... go to that far eastern town. Enter the House of Horrors with that guy. (You'll find it.)

ARGH.

Bethesda's number-one trollingest move:

1. Introduce children to a TES game for the first time
2. Give all the most annoying lines to children
3. Can't kill children
4. ?????

Someday.

Someday the children will suffer. >:c

Ah, s'cuse me m'lud...

[Senn Typhos]

Started a second character. Can't honestly decide what I think is cooler... sword and shield, two-handed weapons, dual wielding axes... I know I wanna throw destruction magic in there somewhere.

On the one hand, if I dual wield or use a shield, I can switch to magic more easily. On the other, two-handed weapon finishers are sweet.
