The story wasn ' t just published , it was the top story . <| sep |> Most of the game is a gen one throwback <| sep |> Young samurai ring of water ? <| sep |> That ' s EXACTLY the issue I was trying to fix . I had to really be intentional with blacksmithing or enchanting if I wanted to level those skills up , but not with alchemy . I could literally have enough ingredients within an hour of work , to be able to craft enough potions to grant me 4 character levels and 6 , 000 septims and a major power level of speechcraft at level 1 , it was ridiculous . In fact , just last week I was playing my new character and I managed to get out of Helgen at level 2 . I ran around doing favors for people , looting and selling , a little bit of combat , and made it to level 3 . A few hours later I found myself getting to level 4 , and I really earned this . THEN , I run around for 30 minutes gathering ingredients and I take those ingredients and start crafting potions . I jumped from level 4 to 7 completely skipping all the fun of those 2 levels . I lug my potions to Whiterun , sell them for 6 , 000 septims and buy a horse . I felt so cheap that I deleted the character and started working on this update to fix this BS .
