User blog comment:Jimeee/Skyrim 1.9 beta update adds Legendary difficulty and raises level cap (Updated Apr 8th)/@comment-24.118.33.135-20130310180606

So.. what's the point of legendary aside from a level cap increase? So I can level up my smithing to 100, reset it, do it again, and use the new-earned points in a different tree?

I really don't understand how being able to increase your level while leaving skills capped at 100 is any help. That hardly sounds "legendary." More like "crippling" to me.
