It would involve you both proving your worthiness as a warrior and involve you bringing him materials to forge progressively better armor and weapons in his magic forge, culminating in him quietly having his equivalent to a geekgasm over getting to work dragonbone. I get that part of it is to allow the player characters to do their crafting, but I always thought it would have been cool if Eorlund had a questline that opened up as you leveled. They might as well have slapped 'Blessed by Kyne' on the thing. The rock formation is a bird, and has a clear view of the open plains and the Monahven. The Skyforge is this mystical forge that has existed since before men arrived in Skyrim, and is probably divinely blessed. Even if it just comes down to the Thu'um - again, you'd get better results learning enough to help a smith than trying to learn an entire craft which takes decades to master so you can do everything yourself. There's nothing in lore to indicate dragon-based equipment is impossible for anybody but a Dragonborn to make, so far as I know.

It's not like dragons' are completely invulnerable to non-Dragonborn. why shouldn't he be able to make dragonbone equipment? Seriously. Getting skyforge steel equipment crafted by Greymane himself should be some of the best equipment a person can hope to get their hands on, if not on par with literal daedric artifacts or the like.Īnd. Okay, A) How does your character know they can use the Thu'um to achieve greater results than the masters with lesser skill with such confidence B) Why do they think that it's better to use the Thu'um by themselves rather than offer their assistance with it to the actual masters of their craft?Īnd why are you suddenly assuming skyforge isn't good? If it weren't people wouldn't be singing its' praises all the time and the Skyforge wouldn't be some unique magical super forge. There's multiple experts and masters that can be found for each of the skills, and even if all of them can't be convinced to move house you can find alternatives or move the others to them or just let them stay where they are. why? Why bother? There's no game mechanics preventing them from bribing the best smiths, enchanters, and alchemists they can find to stay vaguely near eachother and build him the best equipment money and materials can buy. My thing is - even if the Dragonborn can become a master of all skills supernaturally fast, the question is.

I don't often use companions, so I never really paid much attention to what they might say.
