Will smithing be useful?

Maybe if you tell other people not to use it, they won't. http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/biggrin.gif

 

Or you can make your armor unique by putting warrior sparkles on your armor. Theres lots of colors.

The maximum armor rating known from oblivion might nerf improved Heavy Dragon Armor a bit...

+150% armor rating from heavy armor peaks when wearing a matched set

+100% from smithing (probably)

+ Shields AR, also improved by that amount

Sounds like that could easily above 100... I hope this won't make shields less useful on high levels, I want to play an orc Juggernaut.

 

Also, can someone confirm if Daedric (as opposed to Dragonic) is the highest tier for weapons? These two sources provide different descriptions for the dragon armor perk:

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Smithing - "Create Dragon armor and weapons at forges."

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Blood_Reaper/Skyrim_Dragon_Armor - "Dragon Armor – Can create Dragon armor at forges, and improve them twice as much"

 

I'd hate having to go the light materials route with my heavy armor char to save that one skill point, but if Daedric is highest for weapons, it would be reversed and even light armored chars would need the heavy route for the best weapons... For late-game optimised Chars all smithing perks serve just to unlock Daedric and Dragonic.

Perhaps they should go the way Monster Hunter did.

 

1. Kill dragons.

2, Clean their dead bodies ( Get scales, horns, teeth,etc)

3. Build new armor/weapons with stuff you got from dragon.

4. ???

5. Profit.

4 should be: Repeat 1-3 and sell your spare set. That will probably work in Skyrim too. With respawning dragons and all that. At that point, smithing might become much better for moneymaking than any stealth skills...

True, still wish they had armor like the one's I posted when you make them out of dragons.
