I was just reading a few forums about different types of modifying and armour, and it crossed my mind, does anyone think in Skyrim the player should be able to buy a modifying bench etc and paint or dye the apparel they find in the game, if anyone hasany thoughts about this sort of thing please post , just thought it would be a good idea...

Not gonna lie, your idea sounds a lot like a feature on a really nerdy mmorpg I used to play. But anyways, I would love to be able to add additional spikes, flames, or even auras around my armor! Why stop at armor? Go ahead and modify weaponry and jewelry while you're at it! I kind of like this idea.

more customization = better game

although it should be a part of smithing
