I have discuss this with Atkara in You Tube about is it possible to increase these low tier armor and weapons to become on par with Dragonbone or Daedric. He says that need 100 Smithing and 100 Alchemy, but really?

Can it really make steel, leather and wood armor/weapon the same level or can compete with Dragonbone and Daedric?

I really don't like the look of high tier armor/weapon, so if it is possible, it will be no point to invest in other perks than Steel Smithing and Arcane Blacksmith

The only bow design i like are Long Bow, Hunting Bow and Imperial Bow. One Handed and Two Handed Weapon design i like are Iron, Steel and Imperial Sword. Armor i like are Leather Armor, Studded Leather Armor, Scale Armor (except the helmet), Steel Plate Armor and Imperial Armor (all Light, Medium and Heavy). Too bad there is no Kite-Shield design or clean Greek-like Round Shield design for Steel Shield (In Oblivion Kvatch Shield is my favorite)

there is no Chainmail either (Kvatch Cuirass is my favorite)
