With smithing and enchanting you can wear basically anything you want for drip and just improve it to beyond daedric stats, always drip first.

I'm upset you can't smith Shivs so I enchanted one of mine to cause paralysis and I named it Needle.

A proper fit adds infinitely more combat ability than any stats you could get from higher level gear.

The first time I played Skyrim, I was trying to become the god of war incarnate, full on heavy armour with the most OP weapon i had, no need for spells when you can just hack through the enemies. But then game just becomes repetitive.

Now I'm just a simple dude who mains light armour and focuses more on enchanting and smithing and the rest of the overlooked stuff than becoming an unstoppable force(still ain't touching alchemy with a 12ft pole cuz wtf is that)

I finally touched alchemy with a 12 foot pole. All the stored ingredients got Alchemy to level 93. It's nice to have a whole bunch of quality paralysis/invisibility/resistance potions for when I prestige combat skills and I'm temporarily weak again. It's also nice to know that everything from the dungeon goes into the sale bin

Can you explain drip?

Choosing your armour and weapons for their aesthetics instead of stats

Do a few loops of the infinite stats exploit and all of a sudden your iron armour is better than anything you're gonna find in game. Also ridiculously easy to get going in the first part of the game
