The only way to make Skyrim playable is to ignore crafting completely. Otherwise you can just powerlevel in the early game, make yourself the best gear in the game and render all the game's loot totally irrelevant by the midgame meaning the only thing to keep you playing is the barebones combat where you just kill everything in one hit and never die.
>>740051762You should install Gold is Souls. It fixes the economy and levelling at the same time. Obviously avoid crafting exploits too.
>>740051762or you could just play normally
>>740051762Or just install mods to make it playable. Skyrims' biggest issue is no amount of mods can fix the base game's nearly-dogshit-everything.MQ? DogshitAll guild questlines? DogshitWriting in general? DogshitCivil war? Unfinished dogshitThe Dragonborn DLC is like the only halfway decent thing the base game can offer anyone in 2026.
>>740051762This is why Skyrim is the true spiritual successor to Morrowind.
>>740051762How do you even accrue the crafting material for that kind of autism
>>740052095What exactly is wrong with the MQ?
You guys craft?
if you don't do any crafting in terms of enchanting, alchemy, smithing, then all you really are giving yourself is this experience of unbearable NPC's telling you to walk 6 miles to a destination and go into a cave to recover the Dildo of Juurgen Gurgen which is protected by undead and annoying puzzles
>>740052261The "puzzles" are the worst. Either make then better or dont have them. Twirling a stone 2 times and pulling a chain isnt interesting
>>740051762The games loot is largely irrelevant anyway.You need exactly 2 drops.1 mehrunes razor. Strongest dagger in the game. Found through a quest that drops in your lap.2 dark brotherhood special armor set you get as a bonus reward or can just find.Then the dagger perk for 15x sneak attack damage with the dagger.This combines with the armour for a 30x sneak attack damage with daggers.You can now one shot anything in the game even without smithing to upgrade mehrunes razor.Nothing else matters and you will easily out damage stealth archers in moments.
>>740052174Probably the shopkeeper exploit where if you save, damage them and then reload the save, they have a refreshed inventory for some very Bethesda reason.
>>740052095If a game needs mods to be good its a bad game.
>>740052174You either use transmute on iron ore and make a ton of gold rings or you make a ton of dwarven bows using dwarven scrap. That's for smithing. Enchanting is super easy to get to 100 using the cheapest soul gems on expensive enchantments and by disemchanting everything. Alchemy you just need to make expensive potions while wearing fortify alchemy gear. It's easy to find ingredients.
>>740052261I just like dungeon crawling, ok?
>>740052261>playing menu simulator is the real gameamazing opinion
>>740052174The game's economy is busted. If you enchant crafted items they'll be worth more than the materials you bought to create them, creating a positive feedback loop. Same is true of potions - high value potions allow you to immediately resell them to recoup the money you spent buying all the achemist's ingredients and leave you with a profit. You don't even have to do the inventory reset exploit to power level this way, even if you let NPC inventories reset naturally it will still allow you to easily gives yourself piles of money and level your crafting skills quickly.
>>740052575Whose money are you making if you're not shopkeeper-resetting? They have chump change on them.
>>740052693Blacksmiths have way more money than other shopkeepers. You sell your enchanted armor back to them.
>>740052575>buy raw materials>use your skilled labor to reassemble them into something useful>sell it for profit
>>740052818It's not a problem as a money making scheme, it's a problem because crafted gear is the best gear, so it allows you to get the best gear in the game much more quickly.
>>740052864Good. If you want to put in the work and level up the skill, you should be able to make the best gear.
>>740052261Going off on an adventure to a mysterious crypt then fighting your way through monsters is quite literally the whole appeal of roleplaying games and why they were invented. When did this become controversial?
>>740051762Just play the Uninstall Wizard class for the best experience
>>740053143It didnt. Skyrim just does it poorly.Every quest is a fetch quest and none of the dungeon delving ever feels different. The layout changes but draugr crypt #443 is the same as #1 and they all weirdly loop back to the beginning for some reason
>>740053315>Skyrim just does it poorly.Name a game that does it better.>The layout changes but draugr crypt #443 is the same as #1How can it be the same if the layout changes?
>740053529Morrowind and Elden Ring
>>740052095If you have to mod an entire new game worth the content to make the base content playable, you're better off just play other games.
>>740052180He's just played it so many times I am sure he's very board of it now. So he projects this boredom onto the game blaming that for why he's bored.
>>740053529>name a game that does it betterOblivion did it better. Morrowwind. Fuck even legend of grimrock did dungeon diving better.>how is it the same if the layout changes Nigger I said it feels the same. The hallways all look the same. The enemies are all the same. The "puzzles" are all the same.
>>740053529Tainted Grail, but to be fair, that only came out recently. It took over a decade for a better dungeon crawler to come along than Skyrim, unless you count Fallout 4, but that was made by the same people.
>>740052180It seems rushed as fuck. In 2 hours you go from a random faggot to le hecking dragon-riding fusrohdah-shouting extremely powerful hero, stoping wars and fighting an evil dragon in heaven.
>>740053915>>>name a game that does it better>Oblivion did it better. Morrowwind.You are high.>Nigger I said it feels the same. The hallways all look the same. The enemies are all the same.Have you fucking played the other two games you mentioned?
>>740053529Bro fucking Thief has better dungeon crawling then Skyrim
>>740053315>and they all weirdly loop back to the beginning for some reasonFor some reason? Some reason? Are you retarded? It's obviously so you don't have to walk all the way back you fucking nigger.
>>740053945If the pacing is your problem then there's a mod to fix that by breaking up the quests so you can justify doing the side quests.
