I'm reminded of the old Fallout 3 threads, complaining that it was so easy to max out all the skills at 100. You "just" had to level almost to the lv20 cap, select a few specific perks, make sure not to put more than 40 points into any skill, and
then find every Bobblehead and most of the skill books.
Yeah. "Just".
And here we have the same thing. "It's so easy" to either max out Enchanting, or level to 40 & then find several random/rare spawn enchanted items, or some combination of the two.
Sorry, but to me - that's going out of your way to powergame. No-one is going to just "stumble" upon that. Plus, there's all the game before you get your 100% casting reduction - you still need to have played through all that, so the fact that you'll eventually get free spells (and therefor won't need Magicka) doesn't really help you in the meantime.
Agree with this guy, but I also agree with the guy who said powerleveling/gaming kinda comes natural.
Perhaps for some people, but not for everyone.
It took me 60+ hours to hit lv40. And I finally got my first 100 skill at level 48 - Smithing, which only made it to 100 because I did a "final push" on the last 20 points.... I deliberatly decided to semi-powerlevel those last few bits (and I still didn't use many vendor mats - instead I stopped doing other quests and did a round of the mines I'd found previously). Of course, since I did this in the mid-40's, it didn't level me up much and didn't really do much to the balance of the game.
Of course, now that I can actually make my Dragonscale armor, I've discovered that 1) it's ugly, and I'd rather wear Glass, and 2) my Enchanting isn't good enough to replace the enchantments I have on looted Elven and Glass gear, so I need to keep wearing those anyway. (best I can manage is 25% elemental resist, and I've got 50% fire and frost on my glass boots and elven shield.)
