LE Rarer Magic Weapons in Skyrim

[wharmaster]

There's something that bothers me about Elder Scrolls games, and it is even more bothersome in Skyrim.

 

Everywhere I go, people are practically handing me a new magic weapon.

 

I enjoy the crafting in Skyrim. I made my own armor....weapons, etc. It felt good to make my own way, and use the things that I had made. I killed and skinned wildlife, tanned the leather, cut the strips, etc.

 

Then someone goes and hands me a suit of uber light magic armor, and someone else hands me a collection of super-powerful weapons.

 

Suddenly, all that hard work was pointless.

 

SO.....the mod idea: severely restrict the availability and power of magical weapons and armor. Make Skyrim more realistic, magic harder to learn, enchantments more costly, and generally tone down the "+50 gear of god-hood" feel of the game.

 

Sort of like a "hardcore mode", or "realism mode".

 

Will keep my eye out....hopefully some creative modder will run with this idea.
