Well, I just want to see upgradeable Aetherium stuff all this while, like sword and armor and there IS an Aetherium forge that can potentially make all that (wouldn't all of you want Aetherium armor and weapons?). I got some ideas, like the Armor is like glass armor, except chunkier (there are heavy and light versions) and all the malachite is replaced by Aetherium, an aetherium sword is like Dawnbreaker in shape, but the bit in the hilt is glowing blue and the blade is a solid chunk of Aetherium and stuff. In all, I'd want to see the following (just for pure awesomeness):

Aetherium weapons set

Aetherium armors

Aetherium jewellry

Aetherium clothes!?

The only lore problem will be when you upgrade the stuff at a grindstone or workbench with Aetherium ingots, cause Aetherium is known to be inert to all crafting methods - So if we can upgrade it at any grindstone or workbench, thats kinda lore breaking - thats the only reason why I said screw lore (bacause I really want to see Aetherium stuff and smith them, all the great things they say about it). Also, the best weapon set as dragonbone just seems silly, cause Aetherium exists and they said it was some awesome thing, plus dragon armor and weapons are very ugly (I don't care about aesthetics most of the time, but NPC and equipment Aesthetics are very important).

I mean like they could probably make an Aetherium grindstone and Aetherium workbench in some Dwemer city (in fact, they can just add it beside the Aetherium forge), but going to Bthalft every time I got a better set of smithing gear seems crazy.
