LE NPC Enchanting and Smithing

[aggressor27]

A request to the mod gods for NPC blacksmiths that can create weapons and armors using the materials you provide and with the ability to improve them to their respective cap. Also requesting a mod for NPC enchanters a la Morrowind.

 

Now, I haven't been able to find a request thread on this meaning one of two things;

 

1) Would implimenting these features cause a severe imbalance in the game?

 

2) I'm terrible at using search engines. If this is the case please point me to the right thread so I can piggyback off of that request and delete this one.

Agreed, especially for an Enchanter NPC. And it should be balanced as long as there is a relative gold cost for services rendered. The more powerful the more gold required.

 

No idea why they didn't include an Enchanter from release, has always been a staple for the Elder Scrolls.

Ditto

Plus I think they should also make a mod for NPC alchemy alla Daggerfall so that we have all the crafting skills covered.

This is pretty simple to do. All you need is an npc with quests that call for the materials and the quest reward is the item. I don't think I have the time to do this right now, but if noone picks it up in the next week or so, ill give it a shot then.

Agreed. An enchanter would a really nice thing to have. Why should the one best qualified dragonslayer in Skyrim have to learn blacksmithing and enchanting and stuff instead of focusing on saving the lives of all those people who should normally be doing this stuff.

 

And as far as being imbalanced or whatever, you could make the enchanters mostly accept their payment in the form of filled soul gems or the like instead of using gold. That way you'd still have to kill powerful enemies in order to get the enchantment made. Or you could have some "black market" enchanters who deal in Black Soul Gems which can be filled with the souls of any random bandit. They would be a bit more questionable to deal with but let you get better stuff enchanted easier.
