@Harkon

in your logic... one playing pure warrior can't use potions either, and neither can use them one that plays as mage. based on perk associations, Alchemy is part of sneak, not combat (remember standing stones... Mage, Warrior, Thief, same as Hermaeous Mora books). although one can easy see relation between combat and sneak. what is.... your pure warrior? being dumb? so, if you see, let's say gloves with one-handed bonus... can you use those? you shouldn't, coz enchantment was used in the 1st place. also, even basic character is somehow enchanted (breton 25% magic resist, nord 50% ice resist), how do you avoid that?

but... let's see. in 95% of my time i use dagger with 3sec soul trap+raw sword and nothing else (filled low level gems are best currency there is in skyrim). in rest 5% i like to have fun with different effects sometimes. i also ignore most perks like paralyze and such. hell, right now i still have 21 perks to use

about your 16 months.... sounds to me more like you were wasting time, not playing. coz, in all you spew you only shown you have no clue about melee. my 1st playtrough was with using only vanilla in game gear. no smithing (not even for upgrade), no enchanting. i had nightingdale armor/bow/sword, dawnbreaker, spellbreaker/hide shield and that would be it. 2nd playthrough was all about maxing it out. 3rd one right now i'm trying to achieve OP status with as low level as possible.
