So I've been pondering my character level and the cap. By my estimate, I'll probably max out about 65, since I have no interest in a couple of the skills, and a couple more I use quite sparingly. Given the way the XP requirements increase exponentially, I'm already getting close to the wall. Anybody here get to 81? Which leads to the next question, anybody here taking advantage of the legendary skill function? I'm curious what the highest level somebody here has gotten to in here.
Also, I stumbled across it by accident, but at this point in the game any Dwarven armor I make far exceeds every other armor in the game. This includes Daedric, which in my case is heavier and weaker. Not sure why this is. I suppose it might be related to ancient knowledge, but I thought that was bugged to apply to all armor types. Even if they fixed that bug, it's also supposed to apply to a full set, not individual pieces. It doesn't really matter much since the armor cap is pretty easy to hit, but still interesting.
As for me, I'm fixing to legendary my heavy armor skill, even though I only have a couple of perks there. For one thing, the game's gotten too easy. Another is to push back my effective level cap. Without that HA skill, I'll be needing the sturdiest armor I can craft, which appears to be Dwarven.
