In any case, my character wasn't too skilled in building or improving weapons and armor, so I had to pretty much rely on whatever armor and weapons I bought from merchants or found as loot

So again, the option to pay more skilled blacksmiths to improve weapons and armor or to have more skilled mages enchant them would have been a nice option for gamers who choose to concentrate their efforts on different skills

adds a lot to the main world with some pretty cool quests and new weapons and armor.*Solstheim adds a whole new world to explore and tons of quests and new weapons, armor, and other things you won't find without the add on

There are a whole bunch and I'm not going to list them here, but they do everything from allowing you to cast versions of more powerful spells, to being able to create better armor, to being able to create better versions of potions/enchantments.

is a good way to make money or create better armor for yourself instead of waiting to find it in a treasure chest or buying it.

This was fine, but getting access to some of the game's strongest armor and weapons proved unattainable for me, and simply improving the weapons and armor I did have could only go so far due to my limits in smithing

my opinion, most powerful setup in the game), Heavy Armor/Two handed/Smithing/Destruction, Destruction/Conjuration/Restoration/Speech, Light Armor/Archer/Speech/Lockpicking

Every time you advance enough of these skills, you "level up" and you get to increase either your magicka, health or stamina (which allows you to carry more stuff and pull off more powerful moves) and also get a "perk point" which you can spend on any of the skills "skill trees" which will allow you to smith better armor or make your potions more powerful or make your strikes with one or two handed weapons hit harder, or allow you to take more damage when wearing heavy or light armor, etc. etc. etc

my opinion, most powerful setup in the game), Heavy Armor/Two handed/Smithing/Destruction, Destruction/Conjuration/Restoration/Speech, Light Armor/Archer/Speech/Lockpicking

Do this until you unlock Daedric and Dragon armor, then you now wear the best armor in the game

Light Armor: You can wear all leather gear or some glass armor, and still hit the same armor ratings as full Daedric plate thanks to the perks in the light armor tree

I personally had a bit of an issue with was not being able to have a local blacksmith or mage improve my weapons and armor for me in exchange for some coin

Supposedly you need this type to be a good rogue since the heavy armor is too noisy; Bethesda didn't want to leave anyone

You will find the library of weapons and armor severely less than Everquest and WoW.

And as your skills increase, your character levels up, which allows you to allocate points to your overall health, magic, and stamina, as well as pick special perks that provide further buffs to your chosen skills, such as resistance to magic, increased chances of critical strikes with melee weapons, and the ability to build stronger armor and weapons

Or you can spend hours smithing ever stronger weapons and armor for when you head out to do combat.

I loved being able to adopt children and build my own homes as well as become a vampire

The kind of interactions I'm looking for can be found on playstations as well as on a gaming computer

Game came quick, no scratches or anything, worked as it should, loaded my games smoothly.

The graphics, as well as, the depth of story and faction quests are wonderful

It does make the game much easier and kind of takes the fun out of looting since you're not going to find anything near as good as you can make
