there are several different style options for each weapon...daedric, ebony, dragonbone, elven, orcish, etc...but that each style has a damage limit based on level..so if im starting out the iron and steel are on bottom teir of weapon quality and damage while dragonbone is at the top tier. i agree some things should be based on quality..dragonbone should definitely be better quality and do more damage than steel. but when it comes to elven and orcish and ebony im thinkin maybe make them all better quality than iron and steel but less than dragonbone, so that all 3 styles are the same middle tier, and keep the quality level upgradable according to the smithing perk tree as it is. the reason is because orcish weapons are just as kool lookin in their own unique way as the elven and the ebony and it saddens me when i reach high enough level that they become functionally useless.
