Hello, my name is Henry Retes, and I've been playing Skyrim like crazy since a few hours after the game lauched. So after hours and hours of gameplay I had a really powerful character with Nightingale Armor set and other powerful weapons: the Breton, Sond Septim (forgive my lack of creativity). So Sond Septim slashed everything in it's way with deadly efficiency, and soon the game became boring, and I didn't used forges or hunted (one of the most fun aspects of the game, in my opinion).
So I hanged my bow, sword my armor to live off the land, LITERALLY. So I created a rule for myself: I CAN ONLY USE ITEMS CRAFTED BY ME (armor, weapons and potions), and that made the game a hundred times more fun! I call it the Survival Rule. Below are the details about it.

- You can only use items you crafted. That includes potions, armor, weapons and arrows. (If you have Val's Craftting Meltdown.)
- You can buy the ingredients or ores required to craft the item, but you can't buy the item itself.
- You can ''acquire'' items in your adventures, but you cannot interact directly to it.
- Improving an item DOESN'T mean you crafted it.
- Rewards from quests can be kept and used. (Daedric artifacts and all that good stuff.)

Feel free to follow the rule! Post below or PM to say what you think about it!
