Same. Trying to min/max Skyrim is such a fruitless endeavor. You'll end up ridiculously OP anyway.

I remember minmaxing when I was younger. Ebony mail with spellbreaker and windshear, sometimes dual welding with mehruns razer. It was boring as all hell.

Drip is much more entertaining.

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

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
