It's too late for them to change the game. They already made it and it's coming out this year. Maybe they'll take note of all the popular ideas in these forems and make another Elder Scrolls later down the road with them implemented. : }
Wohoo! Hold on one second there! The game is NOT done, why else would Bethesda be encouraging questions and ideas? It comes out in November 11 2011 but they still have plenty of space to put more raw and pure awesome into the game.
Also has anyone ever played Fable 3? It had a sort of weapon customization feature and the motto "The ultimate weapon in the game must be your own weapon" so wouldn't it be cool that the strongest weapon be custom made by you? Still, Fable 3 svcked because all other legendary weapons were STILL stronger than yours. With the smith feature in the game I believe that you should also be able to upgrade your weapons, such as after you make your sword you can remelt the blade and add ebony or daedric to it for a combination.
It is NEVER too late for Bethesda to pump pure awesome into Skyrim, NEVER....
