Exploit to end all exploits

[trollmar]

A friend of mine told me about his exploit today.

 

It is an alchemy exploit whereby you use fortify restoration potions to enable extreme enchanting and smithing capabilities. I mean thousands of percent increases in little to no time and with no real skill needed in either alchemy or smithing or even enchanting. He things this is the best thing ever. I was almost sad when I saw this. Why on earth would you ever want to break the game like this? I admit I thought it would be cool to make a +carry weight ring or something but that is about it. What do you all think.

If people want to use exploits let them, it doesn't harm anyone else, it certainly doesn't bother me what other people do in their game. Morrowind was full of exploits like that, they didn't spoil my game because I didn't use them, same applies here.

For my part, i never liked exploits/cheats. But so many peoples like that.. i mean, some of my friends, as soon as they buy a game, type a "godmod" cheat.. i'm always "wtf are you dooing man ?".

 

Never been able to figure out what is the fun in that.. i'm sure there's an answer to that, but even if i knew it, i guess i would just not agree/understand it.

You're late to the party...very late, everybody already knows about this and most idiots do this...i personally never did because it's stupid and makes the game more boring, hell i'm already bored of the game, played too much and nothing to keep me going ><

No disrespect to anyone, but people who play the game like this will grow bored and trade in skyrim after xmas.

Now, if you are not greedy, you can use this exploit to make really good, but not game-breakingly-good enchantments and weapons.

 

Personally, I have the self-control to do so. Many do not.

what he said.

 

Bethesda fails at balance. I'm going to take a shot at patching this when the CK comes out.

 

The correct fix would be capping crafting skill effects at 100, so if you're already at max skill, taking one of those potions has no effect.

if that proves too difficult, a simpler but less clean fix will be to remove fortify enchanting/blacksmithing/alchemy effects entirely, probably modificying the magnitude of all such effects to 0.

These things are so stupid. But I dont care about anyone doing it, until they start posting on forums about how bad Skyrim and Bethesda is because you can do this and how easy the game becomes. Retards... :dry:

[bpestilence]

Once again, why?

 

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to. Are you really going to make a mod, that people have to actively install, that limits their abilities? Isn't it a lot easier to just not break your own game? Be responsible for yourself.
