i was wondering what the most fun build for a melee char is 1handed with shield..2handed..or duel wield. i play on master with a couple increased difficulty mods. too make the game more fun and interesting was thinking of not using smithing and enchanting and only using the armour and weapons i find. what r ur opinions on the smithing/enchanting way and being too overpowered.
You'll definitely have more challenge, I can guarantee that. Smithing and enchanting, even without any exploits, make for easy killing even on Master setting. Whether eliminating all weapons crafting and upgrades will end up being too hard on Master, I don't know, as I haven't tried that yet. I'm sure it'll provide some hair-pulling moments, and possibly even some situations you'll just have to skip or bypass. Probably depends on what other skills you may go after, besides just the melee stuff. If you use 1H + shield, you will be a lot more survivable, and not have to use nearly as many health potions as a non-shield melee char will. No matter which style you decide to go with, I'd highly recommend working up your blocking along with it... just for those fights when not having a shield turns out to be nearly impossible to survive.
