Ten Foot Bunny
I ♥ Harry Nilsson
I was wondering what you all feel about exploiting glitches in the game. For the very first time, I'm not playing an Elder Scrolls game on the PC since I currently don't have anything more than a three-year-old laptop and not enough money for a new rig. That means I'm playing without mods and the ability to use console commands for anything.
For that reason, I'm using a glitch to get what I want - namely, the restoration glitch for the purpose of blacksmithing upgrades. Since I can't fulfill my desires via the console or the construction set, the game experience is lacking in my opinion. I REALLY want the armor and weapons that I want rather than what works for my level! And without the ability to download mods or mod the game myself (I used to mod Morrowind and Oblivion back in their days) exploiting the glitch is my only option.
That said, I'm not exploiting it to craft über-gear but specifically to upgrade the forsworn armor set to the armor rating to which I can upgrade glass armor. In other words, I'm not giving this light armor set the same stats as, say, daedric armor. However, I promised myself that I would play this game as the devs intended for the first time in Elder Scrolls history, and my exploitation of the glitch kind of bucks that intention.
Would you think of this as cheating in a sense, considering I'm merely giving a lowly armor set the same stats as an advanced armor set? One more item of note: I AM of-level to find glass armor drops in the world and so I'm not jumping the gun.
