Have you ever said to your trusty sword: "I'm so happy that you won't break and will be by my side forever!". And have you ever asked yourself when creating the 100th iron dagger just for the experience gain for smithing: "Man... I literally made a hundred of these, why can't I still make better than the first one???". So my idea will have something to do with both of these. Like in real life, swords, daggers, arrows can go blunt, bows and pretty much any handle can break, armors can get scratched, weakened or even holes punched through them, making them unreliable. Why isn't it the same in Skyrim yet? Idk either, but now the idea is here. This is something like the new Degradation mod, but instead of just the weapons and armors tempering going down, these items will become less powerful in their base even. Now it's time for some repair! With skills you can actually repair items like they were new, but of course, they won't be the same ever, after a bunch of breaking-repairing cycle you should just throw out the item and get a new instead. Like in real life, you're not a robot. That means, if you craft two iron daggers, they won't be the same. The first one will be just a useless lump of metal. Even after the 15th dagger, you can still make mistakes (becouse you're a human after all!!!), making that particular item less powerful and reliable, but also you're able to create the stronkest weapon ever by fortune. As you keep crafting, you won't just be able to craft orcish and steel from now on, but will be able to create more powerful, reliable items, with less chance that they'll be useless and more that they'll be awesome! This should be true for enchantments, potions and tempering as well. Crafting more and more of the same item will increase the chace of that item being good, but even crafting from the same material or even crafting would help you a lot. This mod would be a REALLY immersive one. Maybe you could call it Immersive Crafting or so. The point is that I really wanna be in situations in Skyrim I can't hadle. I play with all the survival/realism mods, but I still need something which would be this. If you have any questions please ask them.
