Alchemy, Smithing, or Enchanting? : V

I'm curious as to which of the crafting skills you will specialize in (if any) and why.

after seeing all of the perk trees listed by Sammuthegreat, I can't decide. I even considered Rollplaying an "artist" who tries to master all three.

EDIT: now you can vote for more than one.

You talk as if I will only have one character. That's just silly.

I have a feeling I'll enjoy all of them quite a lot, but enchanting will be the most fun. I can't think of many things more epic than building my own magical weapon, naming it perhaps, and dominating dragons, monsters, and peoples' throats with them.

All three. But I'll probably use enchanting the most, since it seems to be improved, and I used it a lot in Morrowind. It was very helpful.

My first character will major in smithing and enchanting. I'm really looking forward to smithing, with enchanting being a close second. Alchemy just never has been my thing - but I do usually get around to using it.

Smithing and Enchanting.(Make it so you can vote for more then one, so it is easier to vote for us dum A$$e$.)

Smithing for the dragon armor and weapons.

I'm going to do enchanting and alchemy, it should fit my magic-orientated playthrough.

i Love working with enchantments and exploring millions of enchantment posibillities and capabilities
especially adding them to wepons , and rings, armor also .. and well robes and pants .. hell it goes on forever ... i love enchanting and working with it
i need alot of posibilities not just a few variables

It depends on the character. For a barbarian that disdains magic but has melee skills, Smithing, for a necromancer who uses staves, Enchanting, for an assassin who wants one-hit kills, Alchemy.

Enchanting, though i do enjoy mixing different ingredients to make potions.

Enchanting, since I'll be playing a (almost pure) mage and I'm really excited by the changes. Apparently you learn how to apply new effects by "disenchanting" magic items.

My character will be making use of all three but if I only got to choose one, it would probably be smithing.

Alchemy because I'm a mage that's what we do. Also because it kind of fits the image of my character.

Smithing for the dragon armor and weapons.

This.

Enchanting. I like being able to make enchanted items.

Ill probably make use of Smithing and Enchanting on most characters I do. Not sure if ill sink perks into any of them though.

» Thu Sep 29, 2011 11:34 am

Alchemy, definitely. It fits with almost every character style I'd ever want to roleplay.

» Thu Sep 29, 2011 3:45 pm

Smithing for sure! With a minor in alchemy.

My dude will be a rugged Nordsman, living of what the land and the mountains provide, and what he can shape into something useful using his hands and some basic tools. No magic here.

So many interesting replies! Such diversity! aah!

» Thu Sep 29, 2011 2:38 am

Smithing, for my Orc (refer to sig.)

im gunna smith, hopefully you can pay some magical fool some cash and have him enchant it for you :biggrin:

I would normally go with Alchemy, but I haven't heard to much about any new or interesting potions. Excellent way to make quick money in most TES games though.

All of them? My focus will be Alchemy, however.

» Thu Sep 29, 2011 2:37 pm

I'll be mainly doing all three with sneak being my 4th main skill. All other skills will be in support, but I can easily see these 4 going up VERY quickly for me as long as I have access to materials.
