(Hopefully) Simple Requests for next patch, or Dawnguard DLC:
No matter what kind of playthough, one set of activities I always seem to default to is smithing and enchanting. I like to make custom gear whether I go Mage, Thief/Assassin, Warrior/Mercenary or some mix in-between. I'm sure some of these have been mentioned before, but I'd like to put it all in one spot:
The thing I find most frustrating is that you can't place a second enchantment on already enchanted gear. I'd love to dual enchant the Thieves Armor set but can't with the current system. There should be a way to either un-enchant gear or maybe learn the "template" to make a non-enchanted duplicate.
I also find it frustrating that you can't craft certain items, like why can you craft Imperial Heavy Armor but you cannot craft Imperial Light Armor, Studded Imperial Armor or Imperial weapons? Also how difficult is it to craft Fur Armor, when you can craft Daedric, Glass and Dragon Armor? There should be a way to craft all the types of armor in the game.
Finally, there should be a way to smith or craft regular clothing, like maybe with a loom or crafting table using cloth rolls. I've only come across 1 enchantable mage hood and only one person in the College of Winterhold sold it, Colette I think, and it never re-stocked. I don't like that you have to murder for or steal Noble Clothes either.
Don't get me wrong, I was elated when I happened upon it in that warehouse by Solitude, but what if I wasn't doing a Thief playthough and just wanted to RP a Noble Thane type?
So now I'm using the Mannequin glitch to duplicate gear that is difficult to come by like the Mage Hood, Fur Helmet, the Imperial Light Armor set, Noble Clothes because I play on a console and don't have the advantage of typing in a PC command. But really, I shouldn't have to resort to a glitch, there should be a way in the game to make such gear, especially the more mundane items!
Come to think of it, Circlets should be craftable under Jewelry as well, along with Blades Armor and weapons, Wolf Armor, Generic Guard gear (maybe specific guard gear when you become the Thane of a hold). A two-handed enchantable blades sword would be cool too (Like the Ebony Blade, but no enchantments).
Oh yeah, I forgot. Arrow crafting, that's also needed!
