Why on earth though, did they not give the option to get items enchanted by the local Mage or wizard, or for that matter, have the local witch brew up potions at request? As it is, Gold flows (eventually) and merchants are really only limited by the amount of gold they have in their own purse.
So, why make a Warrior, a guy that fights, have to learn Enchantment to get better weapons, when those perk points are better spent on skills that really matter.
Sure, I get it, I don't have to learn the skill. But, I'd also be severely handicapped. As it is, the pure Mage I actually playing has had to learn Smithing to outfit the companion warrior properly. Something about that doesn't seem right at all.
Will modders have the capability to add Enchantment shops to get equipment enchanted for a price? Maybe get the local potion shop to make potions on request, for a price....?
