From the role playing perspective this issue has been annoying me for some time. It's the fact that you can't get someone to enchant your weapons or armour. WHY? How does that even make sense. There are still loads of mages around and a lot of them have enchanting tools on them. It isn't a stretch of the imagination that they can enchant and yet the game makes you have to do it yourself. That is why it hurts the role playing perspective. I want my character's armour to have certain resistances to fire and yet if I want those I have to do it myself! I think it was short sighted to not include the option for mages to enchant, even if the prices were sky high.
