Never understood why every town smith didn't have everything you would need for smithing. The Skyforge is the worst one though. He should certainly have a workbench.
The lack of smelters are annoying, someone make an mod with an summonable fire elemental who can be used for melting. the workbench, tanning rack, enchant and alchemy station should be possible to carry anyway. Just add an inflatable anvil and we are set.
And yes let us pick up and take the god figures to so we can get blessed anywhere.
